Story Written December 31, 2001

Personal Log – William T Riker

 

The day started out as a good one. There was no crisis unfolding and we were on our way to none (that we knew of). A good day indeed.

 

Then there was young Wesley Crusher. I chucked as the Captain reprimanded him. “Mr. Crusher I sent for you ten minutes ago!”

 

The poor kid nearly had a coronary. I don’t know if it was for being late or from finding out that he was on his way to the Academy.  Yep all in all it was a good start to the day.  Having started well it did not end so.

 

The Captain and Wesley were on their way to Pentaris 5 as we in the Enterprise went to Gamalon 5.

 

A simple run of the mill shuttle run to the Planet and it ends up with a crash on one of the moons!  By that time we were at Gamalon 5 doing garbage collection.

 

How much is work, joy of work or just interaction with me… but Deanna is always there when I need her. This time was no different. Sometimes all it takes is a word or a touch.  This time neither was needed. Her presence was all I needed to ground me.

 

By the time we got to join the search party and finally find the Captain, the shuttle Captain was dead, Wes was dehydrated and Captain Picard had broken bones, a concussion and internal bleeding!

 

And the day had started so well too!

Personal Log – Deanna Troi

 

With over one thousand crew onboard my work keeps me pretty busy. This mission a small one granted… the removal of a three hundred year old radio active garbage … but the added pressure came when we received the call that Captain Picard was missing and with him Wesley Crusher.

 

All I could do was be there for Will. Instinct told me that words were not needed this time round.  I was right. 

 

Beverly was another case.  She had gone from the extreme pride of a mother in her son (Wesley Crusher is her son and he had just been accepted to the Academy) to despair, as no one knew what had happened. She hid behind a mask of professionalism…  I let her for a while, but she would soon have to face me.

 

In the end it all worked out with the Captain taking a beating from a rock fall. Of course he was in no condition to mediate between the miners, as had been his original mission.

 

I wonder if Will is off duty yet?
