Log Entries

"Captians log, stardate 52339.1. It's been a week since the Slipstream Torpedo incident. We've just finished repairing the outer hull of the ship, replaced the fifth nacelle and I had Lieutenant Walace pull a little more security around communications. We've also been learning a little more about the Slipstream Torpedo and adapted some features of it's subspace qualities to our own Transwarp engines. We'll also be having a visit from Admiral Rebola." - Captain Daniel
