Captain’s Log
Stardate, 47283.6
It would be an insult to call any Tellarite a ‘gracious host’. Therefore I did not extend this traditional courtesy to Admiral Garve as I departed the USS Takal on Star Base 621. Though his vessel was certainly one of the most peaceful and comfortable trips that I have experienced in my day. I found that the mindsets of a neat and orderly Admiral’s crew are a little to tame for my tastes. So it is with an optimistic expectation that I take Command of the USS Jemison and her collection of cadets and crew.
….Our first mission became something of a puzzle. During a routine survey of the Alkaid system, we discovered unusual material signatures coming from the one class M planet. Upon further investigation by myself and my first officer, Commander Faren, parts from the missing USS Darnel were found in a secured location by the local populace. We did not make contact with any individuals on the planet, however we secured photographic evidence just as the crew remaining on the Jemison reported contact with an unfamiliar alien vessel in orbit.
They claim to be the people we have labeled as ‘The Preservers’ and have invited myself and my CMO over to discuss the matters of the planet below.

Stardate 47283.6
I hesitate to call the mission on Alkaid IV a complete success. Though I will note that Commander Faren performed his duties admirably, and accomplished the most necessary part of the task.
Having confronted Captain Barix, the representative of the so called Preservers, he admitted that their interest in the planet’s inhabitants was related to the inducement of advanced technology. This quandary worthy discussion in an academic setting, was rendered rather more tangible when one considers our obligation to the Prime Directive. It is still not clear whether the non-Starfleet crew members understood the importance of actions. Or what they make of my leadership style. I do know that it was a near thing that I was beamed from the surface back to the ship before we left.
With some lingering reservations about the cohesion of my new crew, we report the events of this mission and look forward to the next adventure.
