New Federal posting
26 Dec 2016Inyahin
Commander's log 33021223.6I've been posted to a federation outpost, pretty much in the middle of no where. There's not much here, just a baron rock in space with a federation outpost on it. They don't even have an outfitting service, let alone a ship yard...
I'm told that this posting will be an accelerated way up the ranks, but I remain dubious...

Well for the last 36 hours straight they've had me shuttling back and forth top secret data without a break... I'm so tired I hit the deck without my landing gear down. I don't know what all this is about, time sensitive military data in such quantities... I would imagine it's top priority R&D research, but that is just a guess.

12 hours sleep! Wow I needed that... but now they have me pencilled in for another 36 hours on the duty roster... I'm going to take a couple of light years detour to get a docking computer installed, hopefully no one will notice because if I write off my fighter; well the Federation isn't going to pay for it, as it is I had to pay damages to the landing pad and they've shut that one down for a complete overhaul. I can't have that happen again.

My detour to get a docking computer was a bust... the ship yard doesn't stock them... I was brought up to the base Admiral to explain myself. During my smuggling days I was taught how to make a detour look like a FSD malfunction in the ship logs... They extended my duty roster by the time lost, but it's better than being thrown in the brig!

My last mission was kind of odd; delivering federal data to the Alliance... which went... to my surprise... without a hitch, I'd expected to be shot down; but it seems these Alliance people are in on the R&D as well. Whatever are they cooking up? I have no idea.
That was my last mission and my tour has been cut short; and the promotion... Fast track indeed, Warrant Officer to Post Commander in one tour; next thing you know they'll be wanting more space elves on duty.
For now, they've put me on indefinite R&R... until the next time that comms channel rings.
