Captains Log Stardate 76035.8

Preparations are underway for our Launch tomorrow at 1400 hours. The archaeological team we're supposed to chauffeur to their destination has arrived, and I met with the head researcher, a Professor Ekström. Needless to say the man is enthusiastic, but a little unbridled in my opinion. Meanwhile, I've gotten reports from all departments, stating that we should be good to go by launch time. As well as a hefty report form Lieutenant Commanders Morris and Karim, both about the other. As Karim being assigned here by Commodore T'Vel, there's not a whole lot I can do about the man, except to make him follow procedures and regulations. I have my worries and concerns about him, he's a little high on power at the moment, as he can probably have anybody dismissed that doesn't bend to that power. I know the Vulcan side of him would probably say that that little statement was illogical and untrue. But I know he has a Bajoran side as well, which is probably a little more passionate than he thinks. Nonetheless I am forced to keep him on, but from now on he'll be under close supervision from the XO and myself, as I don't want to lose anyone solely on his recommendation. As for the launch itself, I am excited to get out into the stars and explore the vast Delta quadrant. It is a rare opportunity and one I never thought I'd be graced with, but here we are.
