Captain’s log, stardate 58255.2

We’ve completed negotiations with the Scrubble due to a conflict with a group of Federation scientists.

Whole mission was a complete waste of my time, I have no interest in mere diplomacy. I’d rather be fighting wars than negotiating.

I already know my first officer has been leaking information about my movements to the enemy, but… I’ll take care of him soon… and that persistent first officer on the Midorikawa.

Can’t let anyone figure out my condition, not yet…

Doesn’t it feel good holding a phaser right behind the head of your fellow officers and make them do completely immoral acts against the organization they serve?

Nothing, the entire system and the surrounding region are completely empty. Perfect place to hide.

We’re heading to an abandoned Federation colony next, the colony was abandoned when the Dominion War broke out so it’s possibly the least likely place that anyone would be looking for me.

Very well… I’ll grant you safe harbor aboard my ship, only if you do something for me in return.

The Hood is currently holding position in uncharted space near Federation space, but we’re preparing to leave soon to throw off anyone tracking me.

Yes, I am. What do you need, Sloan?

@marcywushere.bsky.social

You look almost exactly like my daughter…

This will definitely give me the recognition that I RIGHTLY deserve. And if any of my crew steps out of line… well, I have my ways of making sure they never speak again…

End log.

Captain’s log, supplemental. We’ve handed the Genesis Devices over to a renegade Klingon house, and now we can begin the next phase of my plan… once the Kingon’s begin attacking Federation colonies along their border, the Hood will come in at the last moment and defend the colonies.

oh yeah. the corpse room. that's a thing.

Murakami originally served on the USS Saratoga when he was an ensign, he transferred off the Saratoga a few weeks before the Battle of Wolf 359.

3)

Murakami only participated in three major battles during the entire Dominion War: Operation Return, the first Battle of Chin’toka, and the Battle of Cardassia. The reason why he wasn’t present at the second Battle of Chin’toka was because the Hood was heavily damaged after an ambush.

2)

Murakami had a wife named Evelyn and daughter named Oka, both unfortunately were killed when the Breen attacked Earth during the Dominion War.

1)

Murakami was promoted to the rank of captain after DeSoto was given a promotion to the rank of admiral.

there will be blood.

|| putting this here in case anyone wants some juicy lore about my muse

Just got word that we’re transferring another Genesis Device to Daystrom Station.

I assure you… it won’t be an issue.

I understand Admiral… I will attend any counseling sessions and I will leave the Hood under the command of my First Officer for now.

… And what were to happen if I were to say… refuse to attend any counseling session? Will you force me to take an early retirement? Just saying… because I wouldn’t refuse an order from an Admiral…

With all due respect Admiral, I don’t *need* counseling. I just don’t see the point in discussing trivial matters about my experiences or trauma during the war.

And I assure you that my experiences haven’t impacted my duties as captain of the Hood in any way.

I assure you that I don’t need counseling… I’ve been fine ever since the war ended. I’ve been recovering from those experiences on my own terms.

And whatever complaints Mariner said about me trying to make an example out of two of the Cerritos crew is completely inaccurate.

Complaints about what? Was it about the joint operation with the Cerritos?

@admiralaakar.bsky.social

Hello… Admiral.

And what do you plan to do? Do you plan to tell anyone about my problem’?

And what do you believe? The reports of a delusional lieutenant that I’m unfit for command?

Claims can easily be falsified, whoever made that complaint is a liar.

Did I stutter?

we weren't put on this earth to make your life pleasant, fuck-o.
