Captain’s Log: July 14, 2156

As expected Voltmit thought it would be wise to rise against me. Fool! I had everything planned out, my personal guard was nearby and when he pulled his phase pistol on me he had four pointing directly in his face. I then took his phase pistol and burned his skin with a minimum close range yield. He endured fifteen minutes of the booth, quite impressive for a fool. I killed him with a dull batleth blade, in public display to make sure that no further uprisings occur. I have decided not to promote anyone else, perhaps some enjoyment will come from their attempts at proving their worth.
