Personal Log William T. Riker

When I awoke on the bridge and was told by Data that the entire crew had been out cold for thirty seconds I had no reason to doubt that statement.  Then the scuttlebutt began. But it’s a Starship for heaven’s save what is a ship without scuttlebutt.

 

Turned out that as usual the scuttlebutt was correct and that under orders from the Captain Data had indeed been lying to us.

 

There is only so much I can take.  I know… I know.  That threshold had been know to be low… but when this… this thing touched Deanna that was crossing the line!!!  I hated not being there for her at the time but at least she wasn’t alone when she had the encounter.

 

Beverly Crusher said to let her be… did you hear that?

 

I have to go.

Personal Log Deanna Troi.

 

Well we are here to explore but there seems to be times when we get explored instead.  We have encountered another civilization. In an effort to guarantee that we don’t reveal their position we have agreed to a memory cleanse. It will happen soon. Notice I am not revealing anything about …

 

“Enter!”

 

Swoosh the doors opened.

 

Deanna: Will?

 

Will: Did you call?

 

Deanna: Call?… Oh sorry I may have projected.

 

Will: I wasn’t able to come sooner. Sorry.

 

Deanna: It wasn’t necessary now that the pact has been made and the alien has left I’m fine.

 

Will: You sure?  (He stepped closer.)

 

Deanna: (Noting the move) Yes.  (He caressed her cheek.) But now that you mention it … (He bent his head and imitated a kiss that she returned in full measure.)

 

She never remembered to pause the recording of the log.
