The Joys of Command?

"Personal Log of Acting Captain Savar.

Captain Kaylen has been off ship for several days now. She and her husband, Chief Petty Officer Remal Kajun departed for Bajor to face a challenge foretold by the Bajoran Prophets. I am confident she and her husband will meet this challenge with strength and courage along with an ample amount of tenacity from the Captain thrown in. Captain Kaylen can be quite stubborn. A trait I have witnessed several times in my tenure as First Officer of the Liberty.

My stint as Captain or Acting Captain has been far from uneventful as the majority of the crew was stricken with food poisoning including Aurora. However Chief Medical Officer Anna Thesia and her staff were able to get a vaccine to the crew. I was spared the affects of the illness I am sure to my being a full Vulcan.

An investigation has revealed the source to contaminated food stuffs which were purchased from a Ferengi trader while we were at Vulcan. I have lodged a formal complaint with the Ferengi government over this incident. However I do not foresee the government ruling in our favor over one of their own.

As a result of this incident, bio filters have been installed in the kitchen to prevent any future occurrences. I have also talked with Harissa Pepper, who is the head chef of the Liberty and informed Miss Pepper that she is responsible for all food coming into the kitchen. Miss Pepper was highly argumentative and defensive. I hope this incident is not a foreshadowing of any future conversations I may have with her.

In closing, I look forward to Captain Kaylen's return. I am confident she will be well rested and refreshed upon her return to the ship. I will be most eager to turn the reins of command back to her.
