I have tried to hide my disappointment with the lack of Klingons on the ship. If anything because I want the crew to feel as if they're just as important as the other ships. Truth? I brushed up on my damned Klingon and I get no one on my ship? How the Hell? Urgh, I loathe these situations. But I suppose the positive is that the crew has time to relax a bit this morning. Everything is spit spot perfect, but even so, they need to relax.

I am proud of them. They have all been good. It's good to see how they work on a different ship, on a different team. Murray is showing herself as being a very good Ops officer and a good bridge officer. I think she will make a great department head one day, when her child is a bit older and more independent. She is intelligent and she gets things done, even if it isn't always shown by me. I like self-starters.

Mialin will be a good XO too one day. She offers the balance needed on a bridge, alongside a saint like calm so far. The true test will be during the exercise, but I am hardly worried. I know she will do her job and do it well.

Rice has been a big surprise too. I thought she would rub me the wrong way, but she has been perfectly fine. I would even argue to say she is good, but truth is she needs 10 more years on her before she becomes a decent department head. It's something she knows though, you can tell.

It's...a good feeling. Being a CO. It's different from my usual role, different aspects to consider. I have to listen more, take more things into consideration. I know what I want to do in the future, our goals. I know the road there for this mission, this exercise. I need to engage the crew and we will do well. We might even do the best.

In fact, I am aiming for it.
