"Commanders Personal Log Major Alexandria Somers

After only a short time into our classified mission, things have seen to run as normal, which from observational experience is unusual for a ship that has only recently been returned to active service. Being the first Officer to Colonel Markov is an interesting experience, my cousin Jasmine never talked much about him, save that he was a good first officer when he was her XO. Also, he was awarded the White Cord, yet for some reason, he has it on display and does not indicate that he has the elevation, this is curious, but each to their own I suppose.

My duties here besides being XO are still unclear, I am a combat vet, who is second in Command, I have a feeling that this assignment is going to be both a learning experience and an interesting, but at the moment it is so quiet and the like, still I think there will be some interesting times ahead. The only highlight of the journey so far is the engineering problems this ship has been having, initially the Chief Engineer had problems finding replacement parts for the damaged systems, but when I told him about the spares in the Cargo bay this seemed to mollify him a bit, calming a Klingon is not an easy task, thankfully my time among them as a little girl has stood me in good stead.

So with things finally starting to be fixed I find out that we have a special briefing in the morning, something tells me that this is going to become the norm, say what you want about combat, at least you had set goals handed down to you" she sighed as she paused in her recording. She stood up to get another mug of tea before resuming her Log.

"This mission we are on, I do not know much about it, but from what little I know it is going to be a doozy, how much of one I do not know, but I do not think that it will not be too uninteresting. We have gotten a new Officer and Ensign, I have yet to meet them, but I have no doubt that I will eventually get around to doing this. After shift the other day I contacted my Fiancée on Starbase 332, I could not say much about the mission, but we were more concerned with events outside of Starfleet, hell we even tried to set a wedding day, but our calendars are not matching at the moment, it is getting frustrating, I want to marry Paul but we can never seem to find the right time. *pauses* On another note I talked to my father, it seems some influential Klingon houses are getting antsy and starting to cause trouble, this is worrying on the fact that they are our greatest ally and if they rebelled it would mean an area of previously secure space would become a cold war zone again."

She gave a worried pause that this latest mission would not inflame things even more, she hoped this mission was your run of the mill Black Ops, but she would have to be prepared for anything, her father knew this also, Sighing heavily "After this we just generally caught up on events and then I signed off, note to self let Colonel Markov know of this, computer end Personal Log" Somers finished.
