[Begin Captain’s Log]

 

     The USS Tyson had been assigned a scientific mission.  Gravitational anomalies had been detected in the Starlea system’s Kuiper belt, and Commander Bravin was eager to investigate.

 

    We had just cleared the docking perimeter and switched to impulse propulsion when we received an urgent hail from Captain Soulstar on the USS Feynman.  Feynman was dead in space.  On the Feynman’s latest mission, replacing a satellite relay station, they had been testing updated warp geometry. As they neared the satellite’s location, they unexpectedly dropped out of warp with serious damage to the antimatter injection system.  

 

   Upon investigation, the failure wasn’t caused by the change in warp field geometry but instead by deliberate sabotage.  Soulstar and her team had investigated and found the sabotage to be the work of engineering officer Lt. Commander Kim Korora. Korora had been coerced into this act by the kidnapping of her long-time girlfriend.

 

    Captain Soulstar asked that the Tyson return to Galileo Station and investigate the disappearance and find out who was responsible for instigating this sabotage.

 

    The Tyson reversed course and returned to the station. I had my crucial crew members transport over while Beta shift continued the docking maneuvers. It seemed time was of the evidence if we were to save Korora’s girlfriend and stop further acts of sabotage.

 

     Commanders T’mari and Bravin, with the assistance of Cadet Gator, dug into Korora’s personnel records and the other crew to search Korara’s quarters for trace evidence. Doctor Jervil went to sickbay to refresh her knowledge of treatment for kidnap victims,

 

    No direct forensic evidence was found to help trace the kidnapper, but T’Mari and Bravin were able to recover the logs, showing us who had accessed Korora’s personnel file.  There were only four records.  Admiral Scrumptious and I had reviewed them in the course of our administrative duties, but the records had also been accessed by Cadet P’tuh Great and civilian computer consultant Han BoShi, who Starfleet had engaged to remediate an ongoing computer problem.

 

    I ordered T’Mari and Gator to bring Mr. Great to security for questioning.  Although Great denied such access and tried to blame Commander Bravin, saying that Bravin was “out to get him and it was a big frameup,” Great finally admitted he had accessed the file.  He had met Korora in the lounge, thought she was “kind of hot,” and wanted a photo of her.  I am very disappointed with Cadet Great and must devise a suitable punishment. Cadet Dingus suggested she could use some help with space toilet cleaning duties, and I am inclined to agree.

 

    Unfortunately, I believe Mr. Great’s story.  This file access to get a photo of a woman in a long-term relationship and completely uninterested seems just the kind of thing he has a history of, and this didn’t get us closer to finding the kidnapper.

 

    T’Mari brought the civilian consultant to security next, asking him questions about his actions.  By nature of his work, Mister BoShi accessed many records as part of his testing, and accessed Commander Korora’s as part of his most recent work on the sickbay’s diagnostic system, checking the records of many crew.   We seemed to be at a dead end. There was nothing suspicious about Mister BoShi, and Cadet Great had let his libido lead him to make a bad decision, but it seemed clear he was not a kidnapper.  A quick comm link with Admiral Scrumptious confirmed she had accessed the file at the stardate listed.

 

    Cadet Time searched other logs, trying to find out if perhaps some content had been deliberately removed, but there was no evidence this had occurred.

 

    I received a second call from Feynman. After further questioning by the Feynman’s intel officer, Korora had recalled strange behavior from a civilian consultant who’d displayed an unusual interest in her and her partner, going out of his way to engage them.  The consultant who did this was Han BoShi.  Commander T’Mari immediately contacted station security to find Mister BoShi, but he’d already left the station for his quarters on the surface.
