Slouk had been on the shuttle for 37.41 minutes after finishing the quantum mechanics journal from earlier "Computer start log" he said in his cold monotoned voice, the Computer beeped in response.
"Lieutenant Slouk's Personal log satrdate:49529.687 I was promoted to lieutenant 2 hours, 27 minuet and 19 seconds ago and I'm currently on the delta shuttle craft to new assignment, I have been assigned as Assitant chief science officer on the USS Resolution registry NCC 1709 a Galaxy-class classified as a large exploratory cruiser. This will be my first time on a Galaxy-class ship, most of my career has been spent on light cruiseres and scout vessels. This shall be both a challenging and rewarding assignment, as the Galaxy-class ship typical has a large number of civilians aboard, it will give me ample opportunities to observe how other races that lack the emotional suppression of Vulcan, interact, and what they are capable of accomplishing despite that disadvantage, it will also mean A greater deal of exposure, and it is a well-known fact that consent and repeated exposure inventively lead to varying degrees of contamination based a variety of variables.
There is another challenge as the order were sudden and this shuttle had already been dispatched to courier me to my new assignment I did not have time to make arrangements for my pet Sehlat, Wile domesticated he is still quite large and predatory by nature, given the large number of non-Starfleet personnel, and the presence of children this will pose a sniffiest hazard until either he acclimates to this new environment, or I can make apposite arrangements to have him housed safely.
Given the interstellar politics of the quadrant, It is logical I will also handle a number of diplomatic duties, such as Tensions with the Klingons and Romulans are growing, the Cardassian's aggression about a Federation presence in the Bajor sector, this new threat calling themselves Dominion, I'm fluent in both Klingon, and Romulan, I am a member of the Reunification movement stated by ambassador Spock, so it would only be logical for me to take an active role when dealing the Romulans.
As a Starfleet officer and a Vulcan, I shall seek all possible avenues for a peaceful solution, but given the history of the major players and the unknown influence of the dominion, war may be inevitable. End log."
the chipped in response, he turned to Sehlat who will still the from the large metallic bowel on the floor 5 meters or so away from Slouk was setting, its six-inch fangs tearing the meat and blood staining its mouth.
