Captains Log, October 20th, 2384
We've made it to Starbase 611, in more or less one piece, though we have lost a few members of the crew, they decided that it was this wasn't the best thing for them. I understand, the life of a free spacer isn't for everyone. Hopefully we won't spend to much time on this station, I don't want to bring to much attention to ourselves, considering one of the shuttles in our hold was just used in breaking several Fed laws. Heh, a pox on them I say... in any case I've got a few contacts that I can get a hold of, and it sounds like this base if filled in vixens. From what Sky tells me, the Captain and Head of Security here are beautiful, but the security officer, Mason I think she said her name was, is a real ball buster. I'll have to watch out for her, but this Captain Beverly, I guess she was a science officer before or something, she should prove to be a push over, if I can get Mason out of the way, we'll be running this place in a week. I'll have to see if I can keep myself out of trouble here, well mostly out of trouble.
Anyway, through various means, we've picked up a few new people, a Pilot, an Engineer, and another civilian, but if this man is who I think he may be, we may be in for some adventure, I'm on my way down there now to meet him.
In paperwork news, I hate it... maybe I should hire a vulcan to be an accountant or something, but it looks like after everything is said and done, I can give the crew 72 bars of latinum for the last two jobs, not a bad haul at all, especially considering the source and the danger involved in it. This should sustain us a bit until we can find the next job, and with the cut for the ship operating expenses, I might be able to get the rest of the ship operational, well to a point that my crew isn't afraid to cruise along at warp 5. The old girl will do it, she just needs to be tightened down a bit.
I'll have to make sure I get everyone together before we leave for the station, let them know their profits and the game plan.
That is all for now, I'll write more in a few days, either from the brig, or on route to our next job.
