Commander's Log: Stardate 2nd January 3309Location: Alioth System (finally).
Ship: The Harmless Potato Carrier led the way tonight
Ship Status: Handsome (like its Commander).
20:00 GST – A Handsome Meeting:
Teamed up with the illustrious Cmdr Critchell—a man so dashing he almost made me feel like a mere mortal. Almost. Together, we formed a duo that could charm a Thargoid out of its interceptor and into an existential crisis.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries (and mutual admiration for our chiseled jawlines), we agreed to pledge our allegiance to the Alliance's finest. Why? Because good looks deserve a cause, and the Alliance needs a PR boost.
20:30 GST – Missions of Magnificence:
We dove into a string of missions with the kind of finesse that would make any Federation or Empire loyalist weep. Hauling cargo, busting pirates, running data—Cmdr Critchell and I tackled it all like two intergalactic knights in shining hulls.
Highlights included:
A daring smuggling run: Critchell piloted his ship with a grace that was almost as good as mine. Together, we outmaneuvered a nosy patrol in a scene worthy of a holovid.
Pirate cleanup: A lowly brigand dared to challenge us. We didn’t even break a sweat—though the pirate did when our lasers lit up the void.
22:00 GST – Unlocking Alioth:
The culmination of our hard work finally paid off. After years of "I’ll get around to it," I unlocked the Alioth permit. The moment was almost spiritual—a system I’d long admired but hadn’t yet conquered was now mine to explore.
Cmdr Critchell toasted me over comms, declaring, “Alioth is yours, but Raxxla will be ours.” A bold proclamation, and one I fully intend to make a reality.
23:00 GST – Dreams of Raxxla:
As the night wound down, Critchell and I gazed at the galactic map, speculating on the mysteries of Raxxla. It’s out there—waiting for Commanders bold enough, brilliant enough, and let’s face it, handsome enough to uncover its secrets.
Tonight’s adventures brought us closer, not just as Commanders, but as legends in the making. The stars have no idea what’s coming.
End of Log
"With Cmdr Critchell at my side and Alioth in my grasp, the galaxy feels just a little brighter. Raxxla, we’re coming for you."
