New challenge: From the Very Secret Personal Logs

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

In Star Trek, members of the Enterprise crew had personal logs where they spoke of their day, their experiences, their thoughts and feelings... really just a glorified diary, actually.

Since the crewmembers generally spend their days together, then they experience the same things, with obvious exceptions, but they don't experience them exactly the same way.

Your challenge today, then, is to write about a day (or week) aboard the Enterprise, through the personal logs of it's crew. One event told through a dozen points of view, all completely private because no one else can read another person's log.

(Obviously, the first log and involved events will build the other logs events, but since they don't spend every waking minute together, and indeed some go days without seeing each other, there is room for several plots per story.)

Go go go go go!

We're currently in the Stakhose System studying a nebula that's appeared at the far edge and is now expanding.

I only know the details of this because Spock has Joe on the ass-o'clock-at-night and so I've lost my Scrabble partner.

I've taken to spending dinnertimes with Sulu, because Chekov has also been pulled for this stuff as well. The captain saw us earlier and kept making suggestive looks at us. I'm a little afraid of asking what they meant. (Sulu seemed deadserious when he said the captain was probably trying to subtly invite us into a threesome. Dear lord I hope not.

I've started training the new security personnel that Starfleet have sent me. They were grumbling about it- seem to think Starfleet trained them fine- until I showed them the death toll for the Enterprise in just the past two months.

They're such a sorry lot. They're gonna get themselves killed, and I'll have to be the one to tell their mothers.

The captain has just sent around a poll of things to do to relieve boredom and one of the items involved was 'Scrabble Tournament'. I'm pretty sure he didn't just intentionally suggest a competitive orgy, but with him you can never be sure.
