Day 61

Our next job was to purchase a substantial amount of paper, of all things, for our buyer, and deliver it to him at a pre-arranged location on his homeworld. We were en-route when we received word that the entire planet had been destroyed. Our entire ship is now full of paper that we will have to sell off somewhere before we can pick up new cargo.

Keitia tried to lift our spirits by pointing out that at least he didn’t order something that could spoil and start smelling up the cargo bay.

Day 59

I bought myself a…very…used jacket! It’s seen some better days, but it’s been patched up, and the tailor said it looks good on me. It should at least ward off the chill.

The Republic agreed to consider the trade proposal. My crew would get a very generous cut of the profits, so I can’t help feeling hopeful that it passes! I’m not sure we will stick around to find out though. We have a job waiting, and the crew is anxious to be underway again. As am I.

Day 54

Completed our task at the outpost, and we are heading back to the Republic shipyard to do some trading. The settlers provided us with some minerals and supplies that the Republic could potentially use. I’m no diplomat, but I did agree to talk to my Romulan contacts about opening up trade lines. Perhaps we can arrange a deal that benefits everyone.

Day 51

With our Romulan assignment completed and a new ship, the crew and I have felt increasingly less anxious about the future and the Tal Shiar. We’ve taken some odd jobs from a small moon outpost, mostly pest control and salvage. It’s a nice break from flying around in circles, being attacked by pirates and spies every few hours!

I’ve been getting to know the crew better, as well.

D’Van, the Romulan farmer-turned-gunslinger, in particular, is easy to get to know. His friendly, gregarious manner turns every Romulan stereotype I’ve ever heard on its head.

Tovan, my second-in-command, is a little clingy, and at times insufferably direct, but I appreciate his passion. He genuinely seems to care if everyone makes it out of a mission alive.

Keitia, the Reman engineer, seems to hide an intelligent grace under her quiet, angry exterior.

The Romulan scientist, Demala, is the biggest mystery. She speaks to no one, except about ship matters. She has a sharp edge to her that suggests a military background, but a warm smile that also seems to strike without warning.

I look forward to getting to know these people better as we continue to work together. Considering the work we do, the company could be much worse.

Day 41

I hate snow. I hate cold. If I had known I would be out here freezing my scales off, I wouldn’t have gotten a haircut so soon. But I must admit…the incentive was too good to pass up. The first thing I am going to do when we get paid is buy a coat. And maybe then, name my new ship.

The Republic offered us a new ship to track down the whereabouts of a secret Tal Shiar base. Normally, I would have laughed in their faces and taken my crew somewhere else. Better to be poor and alive than tortured and dead in a fancy new ship. But something tells me that the Tal Shiar isn’t going to let our involvement go willingly, and if the new Romulan government wants to back us up, I say we’re better off with a more powerful vessel, and with what help the Republic can provide, than without.

The Tal Shiar reminds me too much of the Obsidian Order. Hearing my mostly Romulan crew discuss what the Tal Shiar has done to their society makes me unspeakably angry. But this is just business. This is not my world. I didn’t want to be dragged into their political mess, but here I am, front and center. I refuse to let myself get emotionally entangled as well.

Day 31

We found the Tal Shiar nosing around our shiny planet. My suspicions were correct…they were here looking for the same thing we were. The difference is, they knew what it was. Unfortunately, they grabbed it and beamed out before we got a good look. It seemed to be a device of some kind.

We didn’t have much time to ponder it before Tholians showed up. I had chased one of the Tal Shiar onto a ridge to question him, before they all beamed out. This left my crew and I in a good position to ambush the Tholians. I’m proud of them…I think we’re really beginning to work together when it counts.

Still, the Republic won’t be pleased that we lost the device. I wonder if we’ll still get paid for the “planetary surveys”?

Day 30

The Republic sent us back to the glowing planet for a more detailed analysis. There is something here that they want, badly, perhaps in the ruins? We gathered some potentially valuable gases and minerals, but they told us that we could keep them. Whatever they want is worth even more. I wish the Romulans would just come out and tell me what I’m supposed to be looking for. I’ve come an awfully long way from Cardassian space just to play games of secrecy and manipulation with other species.

This planet is quite lovely, though, in an overgrown-jungle kind of way. I don’t mind being paid to spend time here.

Day 26

There wasn’t a planet at the coordinates we were given today. There were, however, a lot of rocks, as if from the remains of a small planetoid. It gave the helmsman a good workout, dodging all of the debris to get the scans. We also collected some gasses, but nothing particularly valuable.

A pirate vessel showed up and demanded to know what we were doing, scavenging in his territory. Before we could respond, he opened fire. We were forced to destroy his vessel, and ours was severely damaged.

Why are we out here, squabbling over rocks?
