USS Eagle, NCC 2185
CAPTAIN'S LOGS
Title: The Eye of Evil,Part Three
Location: USS Eagle
Setting: Bridge
The USS Eagle exited the wormhole right into another, or was it the same,
anomaly? Which ever the case was it didn't really matter - yet.
Captain Kematsopoulos looked again at the viewscreen, seeing all the other
ships whose crews never had a chance. Their twisted and mangled space frames,
exposed hulls, barren living quarters emphasized the challenges he faced.
He glanced down at his televiewer and saw the damage reports coming in from
all over the ship.
Warp engines off-line, impulse engines down, life support inoperative in
cargo bay 2, hull fractures in astrometrics, IDS burnt out . . . The list
went on and on. And as awful as it was, the Eagle was lucky to have made
it through the wormhole, more or less intact.
Captain Kematsopoulos thinks back upon other things and how this situation
is not as bad as it seems. He had lived through worse and he had no doubts
that he'd get everyone through this one.
He stands a bit shakily at first, the turbulent ride had gotten to him too,
but he rose tall and firm and addresses the bridge crew in his strong clear
tenor.
"We made it! That is something to be proud of. The Eagle held together for
us. Now its time to hold together for her.
We will all be pulling long shifts and hours to get out of here, but we will
get out of here.
As you learned in your leadership training courses, the ship can suffer more
than collateral damage in situations like this if you let your spirits slip
or your resolve slacken.
You must guard against this enemy ... as if it were the aliens that invaded
this ship.
The people under your command are counting on you, looking to you for guidance
and courage."
He added a bit wryly to lighten the mood as he often did,
". . .and scuttlebutt."
"Until I say otherwise, and we are able to get our crewmen back, under no
circumstances are you tell
others not in a need to know the extent of the damage.
We don't know what we are fighting and 'knowledge is power' as the old saying
goes."
..............
The Captain Kematsopoulos motioned to LT Schuler, the comms officer to put
him through to the entire crew.
"This is the Captain. We have exited the wormhole. Stand down from red alert.
We have sustained some damage and will begin repairs immediately. We will
be shutting down all nonessential systems to facilitate this.
We are the crew of the USS Eagle.....
The crew that survived the Romulan attack at Bahrra VII.
The crew that foiled a Romulan terrorist plot to kill the Galadonese Empress.
The crew that stopped the Galadons and the Tureth from fighting.
The crew that prevented Intergalactic war.
The crew that stopped the Binraho from invading our space.
The crew that more than earned the UPUC. "

He pauses and his voice fills with pride as he continues, "I have been and
will always be proud you, the finest Starfleet and your homeworlds' have
to offer.
We can and will do more than that. We will get through this.
The Eagle held together for us - now it's time to hold together for her.
We will be on a port and starboard rotation for the foreseeable future.
For some of us," he winked, "it will be more like port and report.
For those of you who just joined us, you are about to see why the USS Eagle
continues to set records for efficiency, courage and dedication ....and not
only meets Starfleet standards for excellence but exceeds them.
All able hands report in via comms to the bridge for assignments. Kematsopoulos
out."
..............
Securing the shipwide channel, the Captain makes one of those classic captain
gambits and shifts the comms to just Sickbay. The tone of his
voice changes. It is now both commanding and threatening.
"Unwanted aliens. You got what you wanted. You are back on this side of the
worm hole. Leave us, help us or . ..
get out of our way! It's our turn to
go home."
............
With that he cut the channel and returned to the science reports. With all
the ships out there, the chances he felt were high for finding materials,
if not parts, to help repair the Eagle. Perhaps some of the computer cores
were intact enough to learn more of this place where they were?
No matter what the crisis was he felt, there was always an opportunity built
in there somewhere. All he had to do was find it.
