Airik sat at his desk in the Counselor’s Office on Deck 7 and reflectively looked out at the vastness of space. One of those dots was his home world situated in the Briar Patch of Sector 441 in the Beta Quadrant.

He closed his eyes and the image remained in his mind. It morphed from space to images in his memory, detailed as though seeing them through his eyes rather than mind.

His mother’s smile, his father’s laugh, his sister’s curly hair. The images were all there swirling, bringing him bliss and contentment.

The Ba’ku male sat perfectly still for several minutes, as though he was made of stone. He could feel the presence of the ship, the movement of his surroundings while holding the moment. Unlike home, Airik was more cautious in holding any moment. The Ba’ku gifts were not well tested outside of the home world, particularly while moving through space.

His people lived abnormally long lives thanks to the metaphasic radiation surrounding their planet. Their long life allowed them to explore humanity from different angles. An apprentice would easily take a century to learn study a craft before moving on. Time was on their side.

The Ba’ku were by and large pacifists, semi-isolationists, and did not leave the home world which they considered to be close to Eden. That changed slightly when the Ba’ku met representatives from the Federation and the Romulan Empire.

When joining the Federation as a protectorate, a few Ba’ku made the decision to become temporary sojourners. These travelers moved throughout known space to further experience and learn other cultures and ways. Their time away was expected to be a couple of decades – only enough to get a mere taste of the outside world.

Airik was one such sojourner.

Airik’s path took him to Earth and eventually into Starfleet. He contended that a speedy method for exploring the vastness of space was via a starship.

“Computer, begin personal log.” Airik opened his eyes and slowly turned from the stars.

“Even so far from my Ba’ku I am there in spirit.” A half smile broke across his face as he looked a small clay sculpture his sister made for his voyage. “The etymology of ‘Cairo’ does put me at odds with my decision to accept a position on this magnificent ship.” Airik sighed momentarily. “Cairo…the victorious…the name has a long history of battle ships throughout Earth’s history. Now, hopefully, a ship of exploration.”

Airik listened to his own thoughts and feelings for a brief pause and then continued. “The ship is full of colleagues from planets scattered throughout the sector. I’ve interacted with more diverse beings in the last fear years than the centuries before. As the Cairo moves on in its Mission, I look forward to meeting even more."

"End personal log.”

Thoughts and Emotions http://usscairo.com/index.php/sim/viewlog/1 http://usscairo.com/index.php/sim/viewlog/1

After a very long, hard, and dirty shift, David was finally back to his quarters, which he was thankful for. Being a Senior Officer, his quarters were larger than most, and as such he had the option of a sonic shower or a traditional shower. He chose the latter, and after 45 minutes he was done, free and clean from all the grime and various other things that covered him.
After getting dressed, he walked over and sat down at his desk, entering his authorization code to unlock his computer. After a few milliseconds, the computer replied, "Authorization Codes accepted, computer lockout released." The screen lit up brightly, and David said, "Computer, begin personal log". Clearing he throat and mind, he began to speak.
"Never in my wildest dreams did i think i would be serving aboard a Sovereign class vessel, much less be a senior officer and the Chief Engineer." "This ship is very advanced technology wise, but more than that the crew are friendly, and they, or should i say all of us work as a cohesive, dedicated team, something i have not seen on very many other ships." "I can say that it is a great honor being here, but i just wonder, well actually i have wonder ever since i got my orders, why was i posted here?" "That's something i will have to ask the Colonel about when time permits."
Leaning back in his chair he continued to speak. "With regards to work, the entire ship is running at peak efficiently." "I have increased the efficiently and redundancy of the ships weapons, shields, propulsion, and life support by 15 percent, something i hope the Colonel will approve of." David went silent for a moment, contemplating what to say next. clearing his throat he said, "I Guess whats next is to take a look at the shuttles, see if they need anything repaired, replaced, or upgraded." with those words, David stood up, stretched, and said, "Computer end log and save". After the computer did this, he powered it down, walked over and lay down in bed, quickly falling asleep thinking of the busy day ahead.]]>
