"Mission Logs ­ Ensign Andrea Vasquez reporting"

(by Les Greenleaf)

Day Two, The transport is cooling down. I raised the internal
temp of the shuttle to 150 ‘F. At first check the Socrates is dry.
Still too hot to work inside.

The computer came up on a bench test. However, both the computer
system memory and all navigation and sensor logs are blank. Even the
backups are blank. This I do not understand. They are different systems.
I have Spratt downloading from the Foresight’s memory.

The other systems are coming along.

Day Two, entry two. The transport is now cool enough to work in.
Secondary power systems are back in and as are most of the primary
systems. The computer system memory is restored and functioning.
Will break for dinner.
 

Personal Log ­ Ensign Andrea Vasquez.
Worked out again with Taylor. He has a nice cresent kick. The
work on the Transport is going well. If nothing else fails we should
be ready by the time the Alliance returns.
 

Mission Log ­ Ensign Andrea Vasquez reporting.
Day Three. The Socrates is on internal power. Both primary and
secondary systems came up first try. Life support is next. I will
start installing life support after dinner. Spratt has offered to
assist.
 

Mission Log ­ Ensign Andrea Vasquez reporting.
Day Four, entry one. We all worked till almost 1 am last night and
got both the life support installed and running as are the sensors.
We are making great progress.
 

Personal log ­ Ensign Andrea Vasquez.
Damn! Damn! Damn. I woke up with Spratt this morning. I woke
up naked and curled up next to him. I don’t believe I did it with him.
We stayed in the Socrates last night after the others went off to bed in
the Forsight. We had started a level 1 diagnostics on the transport’s
systems. Damn! And I kissed him first! How stupid. At least my
shots are up to date. Well, Taylor has turned out to be nicer than I
had thought. But still.

Day Four, entry two. The power and propulsion systems
Diagnostics ran fine.
 

Personal Log - Ensign Andrea Vasquez
No! I don't want to talk about it. No!
 

Mission Log ­ Ensign Andrea Vasquez reporting.
Day Five ­ Spratt took the Socrates up for a test flight. It
worked. Even up to 5 kilometers. Life support functioned. Shields function.
Sensors are slightly off. Main communication system is still out.
Communicators only.

Personal log ­ Ensign Andrea Vasquez.
I sweated the entire time the Socrates was up hoping that nothing
would fail. Or was it because Taylor was flight testing the transport.
I don’t know. I am going to have to think about this.
 

Mission Log ­ Ensign Andrea Vasquez reporting.
Day Five - Entry Two. Communication problem was due to some corroded
power relays.  I missed them in my first power check.  Come to think
of it they did not show up on the diagnostics either.
Have replicated replacements and installed them.  Made contact with the
Alliance with the Socrates comm equipment.  They will be delayed one day
and will arrive tomorrow.  I have adjusted the sensors the best I can
here.   The Socrates is ready.   Now to clean up after ourselves.  We have
been ordered to await planet side for the Alliance.   My high marks for the
entire team for their efforts during the mission.
 

Mission Log - Ensign Andrea Vasquez reporting.
Day Five - Entry Three.  The diagnostics did not pick up the power relays
because I used the downloaded files from the Foresight.  Different power
systems.  I have informed the team and we are manually re-checking all
systems which are different.

Mission Log - Ensign Andrea Vasquez reporting.
Day Five - Entry Four.  All systems checked.  A few minor problems
found.  All repaired or fixed as best as we can here.  All repairs are
listed in the transports maintaince log.
 

Personal Log - Ensign Andrea Vasquez.
We have a day of rest .   The Alliance will be delayed in arriving.
Taylor and I are going for a picnic lunch up on a nearby hill.   Damn!
I still have to think about this.   Do I really want to get involved with
him.   Like the other night was not getting involved.  At least we can
relax for a day.  I am going to have to ask Taggert if I look at improving
the design of the sensor housing.  It was bear getting out.   Even more so
trying to realign it and get it reinstalled.  There is a formal dance being
held next week aboard ship.   I may just let Taylor take me.   I wonder how
well he can dance?
