Captain's Log, Stardate 250220.77
We tracked notorious pirate traders to the planet Strogwont on a mission to disrupt their operations. Our infiltration of their facility did not go unnoticed—we were involved in an altercation with guards. Nila was phasered at close range, sustaining an injury that was beyond our medic suite to cope with so we placed her in the ship's life support suite and returned her to Starfleet HQ on Earth. She has been transferred to a federation facility for medical care. This action saved her life and a full recovery is expected, but she will be out of commission for some time.
Given the high priority of our ongoing mission in the expansion zone, we have now been assigned a new intel operative to take her place, another ex Captain, Oola Quan. Quan, like Maven and I, was presumed dead after her shuttlecraft was found crashed on Gohedi Prime. We are a ghost crew in a literal sense.
The dark ops assassin "Kestral Roffo" has been returned to Starfleet Command. In his place we have a new Section 31 guy, Stampede Jones, and a mission that will take us back out toward the zone: assassination of a Cardassian renegade leader of the Xortel, Hevix Zek. Under cover as Raptor traders we will deliver weapons tech to the Xortel.
We Pick up Quan and our cargo tomorrow and start the outward leg toward the zone soon after.
