Are we back?

Hello, is this thing on?

::Stop that, Megan! How do you expect me to--::

::Sorry, Jenny, *of course* I can tell you apart! I was just trying to see if you were paying attention to me, that's all.::

Ahem.

Darn, I think I lost the feed again.

So in the end, we did beam the vinculum back into space, so the aliens can pick it up and set up their trap against the Borg once more (paristorres says she only managed to dampen the vinculum, not permanently disable it.) kathrynjaneway didn't seem to have any problems with that--causing mass destruction of the Collective, I mean. She just wanted to save seven_of_nine first. But there ( Read more... )

The major topic on the ship these days is the Borg vinculum we picked up from the debris field, and seven_of_nine's problems because of it. I'd have offered to give a hand in Engineering, of course, but no one asked and I'm tired of those knowing looks I get from *certain people* every time I volunteer for stuff like this, as if I'm just using the work as an ( Read more... )

I hate shift changes. No sooner do I get used to sleeping at a certain time of day/night, than chakotay goes ahead and switches my schedule around. I mean, I'm glad I'm not working the 'graveyard' shift anymore (does this mean I'm finally out of the doghouse re: what happened on our recent shore leave?) but I just can't get used to waking up this early. OK ( Read more... )

I will not disobey the captain's directives, or allow my personal disappointments to interfere with the proper execution of my duties as an officer ( Read more... )

OK, I'm alive and well. A little embarrassed maybe (*a lot* embarrassed, to tell the truth), but I'm all right. Not that I was ever in any danger to begin with.

This whole thing started when talceles got worried when my LJ transmission blanked out in mid-sentence, and then I didn't respond to her repeated hails. I appreciate her concern (and everyone else ( Read more... )

After a rather unpleasant last-minute surprise, I'm heading off into the eastern basin of the Kelaran nature reserve on my own. I've decided to hike the 10 km to the plateau instead of having the transporter deposit me right there. It's late afternoon here, not yet dusk although the shadows are growing longer. It's so still and peaceful, no sounds ( Read more... )

seven_of_nine has agreed to do some star-gazing with me. We'll be in the eastern basin of the largest Kelaran nature reserve, in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet. It's completely the opposite direction (and a good 1500 km) from the mountain range where chakotay will be leading a hiking party, including kathrynjaneway and paristorres (where on Voyager is _tom_paris_?! Are those two fighting *again ( Read more... )

Even after a few days to let everything sink in, it's all still so...weird.

kathrynjaneway once told me that in Starfleet, 'weird is our business.' But I don't think she meant anything like we just went through. What *I* went through ( Read more... )

I was able to restore power to the Borg transceiver using emh's mobile emitter.

Fifteen seconds till the warp core breaches.

Chakotay, I'm giving this one last try. Sending final set of 'corrections' now.

*Warp core breach in ten seconds...nine..eight...*

Almost there...

*five...four*

Yes! Got it!

*three..two..one...*
