Ensign Hobbs reporting.
Today marked my first day as a commissioned officer, and my first at Pinastri HQ. I stepped into my quarters and was greeted by a small but cosy space, the walls were lined with a light grey panelling, and the room was dimly lit by a soft, warm light. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves as I realized that this would be my home until my duty assignment was confirmed.
It's strange to think that just a few weeks ago, I was still a cadet, dreaming of the day I would take my place among the ranks of Starfleet. Now, here I am, freshly graduated and waiting for my first ship assignment. I am feeling a mixture of excitement and apprehension as I contemplate what lies ahead.
I can't help but wonder what kind of ship I'll be assigned to. Will it be a sleek, state-of-the-art vessel, or an older, more classic design? Will I be part of a large crew, or a smaller, more specialized team? So many questions, and yet so few answers.
Despite the uncertainty, I am eager to begin my journey. I know that there will be challenges and obstacles along the way, but I am ready to face them head-on. I am here to serve, to explore, and to protect. And I know that no matter what ship I am assigned to, I will do my best to uphold the values and ideals of Starfleet.

Today is a bad day.
My duty shift had been over for a couple of hours. I was just sat in my quarters reading when my computer screen chirped. It was a personal message from my old friend Jalar, a miner who works on an asteroid in the Humboldt Belt. Haven’t seen him in over 20 months. Curious, I opened the message, and my eyes widened in shock as I read the headline – "Antimatter explosion at commercial mining facility in Midgar Sector." My mind raced as I tried to process the information. What could have caused such a catastrophic event? I quickly opened up the article and began to read, feeling a sense of dread wash over me as I learnt that two mining ships and a transport freighter were destroyed in the explosion.
I have spent the last few hours frantically trying to contact my parents, who had been working the Midgar shipping routes on their freighter the Helsingborg. I have called both of their communicators, messaged their ship, and even tried contacting a number of Mining authorities, but I’d received no response. Just as I was about to give up hope, my computer chirped again with an incoming personal message. I opened it and read the message, my heart sinking as I realised it was from the Northstar mining authority.
I took a deep breath as my worst fears were confirmed – the authorities informed me that one of the ships destroyed in the antimatter explosion was indeed the Helsingborg. I am suddenly filled with shock and grief and am struggling to come to terms with the news.

So, the Northstar mining authority have released their findings on yesterday’s ‘incident’. There was an antimatter containment breach caused by a structural failure in the facility's equipment. A power surge in the magnetic containment system caused the containment field to weaken, allowing the antimatter to escape.
Once the containment breach occurred, the antimatter came into contact with regular matter, leading to an explosive release of energy that destroyed the Helsinborg along with the two mining ships. The explosion was extremely powerful, and the damage caused by the blast was extensive. All hands aboard the three ships were lost, along with 6 workers at the facility.
So that’s it. Written off to an ‘accident’. They’re gone forever.

It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for me in the past two weeks. On one hand, I'm proud to say that I've graduated from Starfleet Academy with flying colours. It was a momentous occasion, and I feel honoured to have been given the opportunity to learn from some of the best minds in the galaxy. The sense of accomplishment and pride I feel is indescribable.
But on the other hand, my heart is heavy with grief. My parents were involved in a tragic antimatter accident that claimed their lives. I can barely even fathom the thought of never seeing them again. The pain is overwhelming, and I feel lost without them.
The past few days have been a blur of emotions. I've been trying to come to terms with what happened, but it's not easy. Memories of my parents keep flooding my mind, and I find myself grappling with a sense of guilt that I wasn't there to help them.
At the same time, I'm grateful for the support of my friends and colleagues. They've been there for me, offering words of comfort and encouragement. I know that I'm not alone, and that gives me some measure of hope.
As I sit here, reflecting on the past two weeks, I realise that life is a journey of highs and lows. The joy of graduation is tempered by the sorrow of losing my parents, but I know that I have to keep moving forward. I'll honour my parents' memory by using the skills I've learned at Starfleet Academy to make a difference in the world, and I'll strive to be the best version of myself that I can be.

Today was a challenging day for me. I was assigned to duty in the armory, responsible for ensuring the proper maintenance and inventory of weapons. I encountered several issues during my duty, including an environmental issue and an inventory discrepancy with the Type-III phaser rifles. However, I remained focused and diligent in my tasks to ensure that all weapons were in proper working order and that the armory was fully prepared for any potential threats.
Despite my successful completion of my duties, I couldn't shake off the deep sense of grief that has been weighing on me for the past couple of weeks. The recent loss of my parents recently, has left a void in my heart that I am struggling to fill. They were my rock, my support system, and my inspiration. They taught me everything I know about duty, honour, and sacrifice, and I will always be grateful for the time I had with them. I can't help but feel a sense of emptiness. They are no longer here to share in my successes and my struggles, and that thought is almost too much to bear.
I know that I must find a way to honour their memory and carry on their legacy. I will do my best to keep their memory alive and make them proud. But for now, I must allow myself to feel the pain and the grief. It is a natural part of the healing process, and I must face it head-on.
As I conclude this log, I am reminded that duty and grief are intertwined in many ways. In my duty as a Starfleet officer, I must remain focused and vigilant, even in the face of loss and pain. And in my grief, I must find the strength to carry on and honour the memory of those who have passed. It is a delicate balance, but one that I am determined to maintain.

Today was a short step back in time for me for me, as I took the opportunity to attend two command school lectures at the UFS Academy. The first lecture was on Fleet Operations, covering the deployment of personnel and resources throughout Federation territories. The second was on the Prime Directive, the fundamental principle that guides Starfleet's interaction with other cultures and civilizations.
The lecture on Fleet Operations was led by Captain Harris, who shared his extensive experience in commanding starships and managing fleet operations. He emphasized the importance of effective communication and collaboration between different departments and ships in the fleet. He also discussed the challenges of resource allocation and the need to balance the competing demands of mission objectives and crew welfare. Overall, I found the lecture to be informative and insightful, and I gained a greater appreciation for the complexity of fleet management.
The second lecture on the Prime Directive was led by Commodore Gurt, who spoke passionately about the importance of respecting the cultural and technological development of other civilisations. He emphasized that the Prime Directive is not just a set of rules but a fundamental principle that reflects the values of the Federation. He also discussed the challenges of implementing the Prime Directive in practice, especially in situations where the lives of Starfleet personnel or innocent civilians are at risk. I found the lecture to be thought-provoking and inspiring.
After the personal downs of the past couple of weeks, today was an enriching experience, and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to learn from two of Starfleet's most distinguished officers. I am grateful for the knowledge and insights I gained.
