Captain's Log, Stardate 76615.7.
While the construction of the USS Kyuushu continues, I have been summoned, rather unexpectedly, to Spacedock to meet with the Chancellor of the Galaxy Alliance, Dr. Trent L'vralus. I have made my way there from Deep Space 9, and now I await the Chancellor's arrival.
Aboard Deep Space 9, I was off-duty at Morn's when the station had come to Red Alert. I immediately went to Operations, where I found Commander Richter, Leftenant Elric, and a ranking diplomat of whom I was not familiar. The diplomat left, while the Leftenant and Commander busily were taking care of something... I am not certain of the details and will leave it to them to provide details in their report. I quickly went to my station at Science where I performed scans of the area.

After a brief layover at Starbase 427 in the Qo'noS System, USS Shutsugun continued to the previous location of the Delcamari System. The system was annihilated by the USS Astraeus in her efforts to destroy the Borg. We are here at the behest of the Chief of Starfleet Operations, Admiral Lathrop, who has ordered us to investigate the bredth of the destructive force as well as the potential ramifications in surrounding sectors and systems.
This report is composed by Midshipman Nirani Fenn and Lieutenant (jg) Elric.
We were in port at Spacedock when Captain Adamson summoned all Engineering Personnel to Main Engineering. Midshipman Nirani and I were the last to arrive, as we were on deck Seventeen at the time and not currently on duty rotation in Main Engineering.

USS Shutsugun remains docked at the Kingdom of Eden in orbit of Beerax IX where several members of the crew and myself have attended the opening ceremony of the station. We await the arrival of Lorian Darin, Minister of State, whom we will be escorting back to Spacedock. Our stay there will be brief before proceeding to the former location of the Delcamaria system to investigate the repercussions of the system's destruction.

My first week on the Shutsugun - many preconceived notions about life aboard a starship have been completely thrown out the window, but I must say I am enjoying the comraderie of my shipmates. I've mostly been interacting with the Junior Grade Leftenants and the Ensigns, who are quite a diverse bunch.

While awaiting further orders from Starfleet Command regarding our specific assignment, USS Shutsugun continues to temporarily augment the border patrol. I have left discretion of these patrols to my first officer, Commander Reed-Maguire. So far, we have not encountered further signs of Borg activity within Galaxy Alliance space.
Captain's Log, Stardate 75163.9.
We have arrived at Deep Space 9 after an extended stay in Alpha Lyncis, out of which we operated for several weeks while participating in routine patrol routes. Our stop at Deep Space 9 is a layover - albeit brief - before we proceed to our next patrol. While our stop is short, I am pleased to offer the crew the luxuries that the station has to offer.

The screen activates and shows a Bajoran man in his early thirties sitting in very spartan quarters. The rather utilitarian nature of his cabin is contrast starkly by the fine threads he's wearing.
"Stuck at Milan Station," he says, taking the occasional sip from a beverage. "They appear to have problems with their cargo management system, so it's going to be a short while until I can unload the 19,000 tons of crafts material and move on to the next spot of this trading run. The run itself has been rather unremarkable."
