This is Antos Verdek, Assistant Chief Security and Tactical Officer, signing in at 0200 hours.

Jeese, 0200? I was supposed to be asleep hours ago. I just can't get this damn uniform perfect.

Anyway, today I arrived on the USS Ranger, an Intrepid class starship. The first thing I observed even as I stepped off the transporter was the sheer size of this vessel. Compared to the old research vessel I used to be assigned to, this is gargantuan. The Intrepid class is hardly a large starship but still, its overwhelming for a farm boy from the Eastern province of Bajor.

I can't wait to meet the captain and Chief Security/Tactical officer tomorrow. I am desperate to start off on the right foot with these people as they are obviously vital to my career. I hope that I can make a good first impression even with the apparent lack of sleep.

Its great to have my own quarters. I swear if that cynical Vulcan roommate of mine made one more sneer about my religious customs, I was going to tear his ears off. In the most professional manner possible of course.

Anyway I should get some sleep... As soon as I get these wrinkles out of my tunic.

Assistant Chief Security/Tactical Officer Antos Verdek, signing off.
