The diethylamine episode is still wreaking havoc on the Gettysburg. Sensor Systems Specialist Second Class Sukal is a figure that despite his lunk status I thoroughly admire and respect. And he's suffering.
 
Physically the man couldn't be in better shape. I was pleased to report to our CSO Jones that Sukal would be ready to leave sickbay today. But something unforeseen happened, something I cannot help the man with. He has lost his psi abilities.
 
I've been doing a bit of preliminary research and these kind of clinical episodes are not unheard of. Patients describe it as losing their sense of touch, or a limb. One even said it was if someone had thrown a wet, thick blanket over the brain.
 
Lunk or not, Sukal is a shipmate and has already gone through more than his fair share of suffering on this ship. I will do my best to help him. Hopefully a few of the other Vulcans on board can offer assistance as well. There is an important staff meeting on but I have no doubt Lieutenant Commanders Kirok and Jones will be in sickbay the moment it's over.

I have arrived on the Gibson and even met with the acting CO. Zuriel Soreka is an El-Aurian, according to his medical records. He's a pilot by trade and has been thrust into command duty. Like a lot of pilots, he seems very confident, cocky almost. In this regard he is everything Captain Krol is not. Whereas Krol was aloof, and self-effacing, Lieutenant Commander Soreka smiles a lot and cuts a dashing figure in his uniform. Krol wasn't always morose and self-deprecating, only 99% of the time.
 
This isn't a disparagement against either man. It's just a difference in command style. For example, in my weeks and weeks on the Gettysburg I had only met Commander Price briefly and Captain Krol not at all. Maybe it is because not too long ago he was only a lieutenant and the CFO, but Soreka's style seems a lot more open-handed and less prone to delegate.   
 
I'm also pleased to be reunited with Ensign Rennan Protheus, an old comrade from the Gettysburg. We only met briefly there, but it is nice to see a familiar face amidst all the strangers.
 
As far as the USS Gibson itself goes, time will tell if I can settle into this kind of Spartan atmosphere. I miss the plush Gettysburg already, but I feel this transfer will ultimately be good for me.

Lieutenant Commander Soreka has briefed Rennan and I. We are flying into a very touch and go situation. A headstrong race of bullies wants to sit down and play nice with the Federation.
 
One thing I cannot abide is a bully. The situation is serious enough to warrant a beefing up of security. There will even be weapons and armed personnel in sickbay. At first this seemed drastic, but if it comes to a fight, the Gibson will be ready. It does serve to make a man a bit tense, however.
 
Soreka has even hinted that we are to look for potential weaknesses and a defense against the poisonous bite of our new friends. Ensign Protheus and I are repairing to sickbay to do some research and link up with the lunks at sec/tac.
 
This isn't quite battle stations, but if we're preparing for it this early, it's not far off.

The team in medical has finally all become acquainted. Our medic, Kylik Roth, seems prim and standoffish. An officer in the making. He's very stiff and formal, deferring even to me as a PO3. He is still new, however. He'll learn. Rank doesn't mean very much in medical, where we all have to work well together regardless of how many stripes and pips we have.
 
Our new guests have arrived. I'd be lying if I said this wasn't a momentous occasion. Everyone is a little keyed up. The Braxians are notoriously bellicose. There is no telling how they're going to react or what trouble they'll stir up while they're here.
 
On the family front, our daughter is due to arrive in almost four months exactly. I hope all of this alien ape cockroach business gets swept under the rug so I can be with my family when I need to be.

Our routine mission to Heimdall Station has quickly turned out to be anything but. There are remnants of Nero's crew onboard. According to our sensors, 30ish of the sick, wounded, and old were left behind.
 
What they're doing on Heimdall Station is anyone's guess. I intend to find out, as does the crew.
 
The crew has served in exemplary fashion thus far. I am impressed with our department heads most of all. Crew morale and performance hinges and feeds off of the energy of their leader. I am doing my best but I feel once again that Jack's death is what gave me the captain's chair, not my own abilities.
 
I suppose that notion will have to be tested. A security detachment and I are beaming over to Heimdall now to ascertain the purpose of these leftover Romulans, if that's indeed what they are.
 
L. Stafford, Commanding Officer, USS Lexington

The Braxian attack has nearly been squelched, thanks to a timely distress call and an even timelier arrival by a Starfleet battle group. It's just a matter of mopping up now.
 
The fighting in engineering is very fierce, as that is where knockout gas needs to be released in order to neutralize the aliens.
 
We have lost more than our fair share of fine crewmembers in this incident. I have a feeling the Mad Mel will be licking her wounds for a while. However, the Braxians will not receive their prize this time around.

It has been three months since the Braxian attack. Much like a patient who has to be nursed through a debilitating illness or injury the Gibson has slowly recovered.
 
Today is a special day. Archangel T'Koris has arrived on board. I've been forcing myself to concentrate on my work instead of her. It has been tough to be separated from her for all this time after our bloody adventures on Starbase 173. She has become a part of me, a literal physical nourishment from which I have been deprived for far too long. All that changes today.
 
The senior officers have been called to a meeting, but once I get word that it is done, I will find her.

As it turns out, Starfleet thinks it's a good idea to send us to go around poking sinister unknown life forms with sticks. The famed Crystalline Entity that likes to wipe out colonies and such is reproducing or dying. Instead of leaving well enough alone we're being sent in.
 
Met up with a new guy in science, a Klaus Vogel. Seemed a decent crewmember. Maybe a little verbose and technical for my liking but it can be bared.
 
I have unfortunately yet to speak with Archangel on board. I am pretty sure I was within a few meters of her up on the bridge, but Alexander Wu, damn his timid soul, warned me off charging into a meeting full of officers. But when I finally did see her in passing it was almost worth it...
 
I've been ordered to cobble together a fancy environmental suit with extra shielding from radiation. I'm not telling anyone, but I'm planning on using this as an excuse to see her. She's in ops/engineering, after all.
 
I'm off!

I've been ordered by Ensign DuPont to see if we can outfit some environmental suits for the shuttle crew. Turns out Lieutenant Harriman had some tricks up his sleeve, apparently having learned some hard lessons from the Braxian attack. He had begun to tinker with some reactive nano-armor equipped with a personal shielding unit.
 
He had only just begun to experiment with the top of the line material when he went on leave. His loss, my gain. I saw to it to requisition the stuff. By adapting this prototype technology to an EV-suit we should be able to provide the shuttle crew extra protection from the Crystalline Entity.
 
Best part of all is I was ordered to liaise with Archangel. OK, I made that last part up. I took my current orders and fit seeing her into it. But at least if anyone asks the excuse will pass.
 
Seeing her on duty is such a mixture of emotions for me. She helped me realize I can't always goof around on duty, especially now that I'm in a leadership-ish position and a PO2. Good thing, too, because if it was up to me her and I would currently be doing a lot of other things except working.

For some reason, any ship I am on seems to be a magnet for trouble. Just when things were starting to get cozy on the Gibson with Archangel arriving the command staff had to go and complicate things. Entities of crystal. Ravenous space snakes. Radiation poisoning. At least we got to destroy an old Borg cube.

On the bright side of things, our new crew seems to acclimating well. Better than I did on the Gettysburg. Thank God I am away from that place. Our operations crewmen, Bradley Miller, seems to be an eager sort, but he's too buddy-buddy with our newest computer sec crewman, the Breen. Ezac. Not sure quite what to make of that one. One thing is for sure: whenever he walks into a room Alex Wu gets tense. Might be worth researching that one.

Speaking of comics and goings, our counseler and the dreaded operations officer Larson are transferring back to their own ships, to be replaced by a Vulcan-human hybrid (Wu is always joking we're the most logical ship in the Fleet, I think he's right) in ops and an older hand, a PO3 named Mandlin, also a Vulcan of some sort. Or a Romulan. Something with the ears and an attitude.

I'm going to do my best to make the new crew feel welcome and all that. We're up for a refit and there's going to be a lot of training and such during the interim until our next mission, thank God. I for one need it.

I can't believe it has been a year since the Gibson underwent refit. The new Wanderer class variant is meant to punch up our science vessels a bit, providing some much needed beef in these days of rampant conflict and dispute. I'm not familiar with the technical details, but I am looking forward to getting my hands on some of the new toys in sickbay.
 
The brass (and I mean some high up brass, pips abound) held a grandiose conference for the unveiling. Somehow Commander Soreka has contrived to get real alcohol circulating amongst the crew. That in and of itself is cause for celebration, in my mind.
 
I plan on numbing myself to deal with the anticipatory twinges of pain that will come with a refitted ship. Oh, I can just see it now. The command staff has a new toy and they'll just have to make use of it, never mind the lives at stake.
 
In other words, same old.

I've had about all I can stand of the new Gibson already. You'd think a Starfleet man with as much experience as I would know better than to believe anything an officer says. But I indeed listened to the command staff when I was told our first mission would be a simple shakedown cruise. Almost a pleasure cruise, they made it sound like.
 
Hardly.
 
Through some faulty subroutine in our AI we have suffered a partial failure of the inertial dampers. The result has been more concussions, fractures, and blunt trauma injures than I have seen in a long time.
 
Our chief engineer, Lieutenant Conwell, has suffered some rattled ribs and I have had to treat him. Sickbay is stuffed to the gills with injuries, and we're likely to have our hands full for a bit. We have added some new medical staff lately, at a time when we most definitely need it.

For once, it appears we are off to discover the secret's of a mysterious planet, Agrathea. No one knows quite what to expect, outside of interference and storms. Consequently, the away team will be studying the planet for two full days before we can be retrieved again.
 
Maybe it's Archangel's being posted elsewhere as she carries our children, but I find I cannot summon up my usual brand of flip melancholy for the start of this mission. It could also be our new Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Talus. With his insistence on sickbay being in actual good working order I find myself not being as restless and crabby. One thing is for sure, all of this would be easier if Archangel was at my side.
 
It's strange, but I am actually looking forward to this away mission. It all sounds suspiciously in line with what a science vessel should actually be doing. We have two security personnel, our XO, and Ferris from Flight Control, all of whom have had training in security. There should not be much for me to do except assist. Maybe a nice vacation is just what I need...
