:: BEGIN LOG ::
::A women in a spring green dress and brilliant red hair sat down in her quarters before the computer, her legs tucked up beneither her in her chair and a cup of tea in her hands::
Unfotunatly this log must start off with a sad introduction. I, Raeyana Timareen, am now the Executive Officer. Rayele Entanes was killed when we tried activating the Quantum Warp Drive that has flung us into Dark Ragi space. Captain Baen for some reason decided that his Counselor would make a good Executive officer and thus here I sit, Counselor and second in command.
::she sips her tea. her pleasent expression faultering for a moment, a flash of sorrow for Rayele quiet visible::
As the Terrans say, when it rains it pours. The Captain decided to go on an away mission as I stepped on the bridge this morning. Shortly there after, Admiral Carson arrives demanding to speak to the Captain. Unfortunatly that was not possible since teh situation on the planet below had become precarious. As counselor I must also add that the Admiral needs to relax. A Captain knows how to run a ship, and as either crew or guest, that authority is not to be questioned.
Peace never lasted long today. As soon as the Captain seemed to be making progress on the planet below according to our sensor readings, an energy net entrapped the ship. The net was Tholian in nature but the energy signatures where distinctly Romulan. With the engines still being repaired there was very little we could do but kill the power to prevent the net from enclosing on us further.
Phasers do not work on disabling this kind of net and indeed the origins of this net where Romulan. The commander of the Romulan ship contacted us, demanding several conditions be met for our freedom. Unfortunatly he had a valuble barganing chip: the crew and the Captain's safety. After much bargining and some creative solution, the Captain was returned safely along with part of the away team. I hope this action in our bargin for freedom does not come back to haunt this ship.
From what I could gather, the Romulans where attempting to conquer the planet below. We happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. For some reason the Romulan assumes that we are working for an Orion syndicate or some such organization... this still puzzles me.
::she glances down to concentrate at what seems to be the steam rising from her tea for a moment::
In the end we managed to get all the away team back safely, along with gaining a Dark Ragi refugee. We are currently under way to Federation territory.. or atleast what we hope to be Federation territory... something is still bugging me about this encounter...
Yet I can say one good thing form this entire encounter. This ship has one of the best bridge crews I have met in awhile. For being so completely new to this ship, they handled the situation to the best of their ablility.
