A few hours ago, a misaligned plasma conduit originating in the wardroom forced the evacuation of deck three so that the gases produced would be vented without further harm to ship and crew. Unfortunately, the gasses reached a level high enough to produce a mandatory evacuation of the entire deck before engineering crews were able to address the matter in EVA suits. It's still not known how the conduit became misaligned. I am hoping that Lieutenant Danek's teams can find the reason soon. Lieutenant Yama has suffered injuries from inadvertently inhaling some of the plasma gases on the deck during the time, which I have been informed will take the young woman some time to recover from.
In the midst of this, it seems that the Shangri-La's computer system either has a personality or a sense of humor - of which, I've yet to decide. In either case, it is posing a danger due to locking out all command codes for a short period of time. Captain Amadeus was able to lend some assistance to the matter given some experience in the matter.
I am hopeful that the Engineering teams can shed more light on this matter and if it will happen again.
