All is Well

Mission: Unto Darkness, Light
Location: USS Washington

Shran sat in his command station on the bridge. It was late and Gamma shift was on the bridge. He could tell the junior officers were nervous having the captain on the bridge. For a moment he flashed back in his memory to when he was a young junior officer, remembering his desire to be perfect whenever a command officer was around. He gave a small smirk, a needed brief emotional respite from the madness that had been going on over the last few days.

He thought about the telepathic alien races that had used his ship as a battle zone. It was unusual to say the least, and his report to Command was long and drawn out to express that fact. He had included medical briefings that Samantha had prepared regarding the whole ordeal for technical purposes. He hoped that would give them something to chew on.

Finally, he decided he needed to get his own thoughts on the record. Not the sort of thing one would put in an official report, but something quite appropriate for his log. Considering the late hour it would be best to do it in his quarters.

He stood up slowly and looked around. "Lieutenant O'Connor, you have the bridge. Continue scans of the area and have all data reported to the XO upon his arrival."

"Aye sir" said the nervous voice of the young officer.

Shran smiled internally as he left the bridge and returned to his quarters.
