Entries

Second contact with Aspergos

• "Captain's log: The Cerritos is finishing second contact duties on Apergos. On a personal note, my daughter has yet another side mission request. When I agreed to give her more autonomy, I never realized how often I would be catering to her to her whims. It's getting a bit old."
• "The Cerritos is on its way to the Bitrus Expanse, and Commander Ransom should make a full recovery." (LD: "Strange Energies")

Assisting the Collector's Guild

• "Captain's log, stardate 58001.2. Those who spend their lives and fortunes gathering scientific rarities from around the galaxy call themselves "collectors." Now, a prominent collector has died, leaving behind a starship full of hazardous treasures that need to be safely catalogued. The Collector's Guild has asked the Federation for help, so the Cerritos has been tasked with the job." (LD: "Kayshon, His Eyes Open")

Investigating Frylon IV

• "Captain's log, stardate 58036.4. The Cerritos is en route to Frylon IV to investigate the reported sighting of a mugato, a dangerous creature not indigenous to this planet." (LD: "Mugato, Gumato")

Escorting the Doopler emissary

• "Captain's log, stardate 58053.9. The Cerritos is escorting a Doopler emissary to Starbase 25 for trade negotiations. Dooplers are a species which involuntarily duplicate as an emotional defense mechanism. We've been walking on eggshells the entire trip." (LD: "An Embarrassment Of Dooplers")

Seeking a cease-fire on Pakled Planet

• "Captain's log, stardate 58105.1. The Pakleds continue their unprovoked attacks on Federation trade routes. Seeking a cease-fire, the Cerritos is on a diplomatic mission to the Pakled homeworld, which they call Pakled Planet. Starfleet entrusted me with this mission because of our experience with the Pakleds last year. Negotiating a cease-fire would be a huge achievement." (LD: "The Spy Humongous")

En route to Kontaran system

"Captain's log: the Cerritos is beginning a 12-hour warp, en route to a planetary survey in the Kontaran system. With little to do in this vacant stretch of space, I've approved some R and R for the crew." (LD: "wej Duj")

Assisting the Archimedes

• "Captain's log, stardate 58130.6. The Cerritos has rendezvoused with the Archimedes, and my old friend, Captain Sonya Gomez, so that we can assist in her first contact of the Lapeerians." (LD: "First First Contact")

Jengus IV outpost relocation

• "Captain's log, stardate 58256.2. Jengus IV is a remote planet which was believed to be uninhabited until indigenous silicate creatures, called the Scrubble, started turning Federation scientists into statues. Captain Murakami of the USS Hood answered the distress call and brokered tentative peace. With the conflict resolved, the Cerritos and the Carlsbad are coordinating to relocate the outpost."

• "Captain's log, supplemental. The animosity between the Scrubble and Outpost 76 scientists was a manufactured deception, designed to distract from their plan to collect and sell sensitive Starfleet intelligence on the black market. Apparently, the scientists wanted to purchase better equipment, and the Scrubble wanted more... rocks? I don't get how that would... Whatever. Anyway, they'll both be answering to a Federation tribunal." (LD: "Mining The Mind's Mines")

D'Arsay archive encounter

• "Captain's log: Once again, the Cerritos was partially transformed into a temple while I was inhabited by the spirit of Minooki. Starfleet has to come up with a better way to handle these D'Arsay archive situations. Lieutenant Commander Billups and his engineers have been working around the clock to repair the systems that turned into vines and aqueducts, and I'm worried the additional work has taken an emotional toll." (LD: "Room for Growth")

Return to Tulgana IV

• "Captain's log, stardate 58354.2. The Cerritos is back at Tulgana IV, where we'll be updating the Federation consulate's power systems, a straightforward job which gives us extra time to fill some of our Starfleet quotas." (LD: "Reflections")

Visit to Deep Space 9

• "Captain's log, stardate 58456.2. The Cerritos is providing support to the Vancouver. Captain Nguyen will be reopening postwar trade negotiations with the Karemma, a mercantile species from the Gamma Quadrant, while I will be overseeing a delivery of goodwill gifts from the Alpha Quadrant, which will hopefully sweeten the deal."

• "Captain's log, supplemental. Our mission, though unexpected, has been a resounding success. The Karemma have agreed to open up trade and not imprison Quark in exchange for 76% of all his franchises' profits." (LD: "Hear All, Trust Nothing")

Project Swing By

• "Captain's log, stardate 58496.1. While the primary mission of the California-class is second contact, Starfleet has never considered our work a top priority. Until today. I'm thrilled to log that my planetary follow-up initiative has finally been given the green light by Admiral Buenamigo." (LD: "Trusted Sources")

Mission to Corazonia

• "Captain's log, stardate 58759.1. The Cerritos is visiting the Federation world, Corazonia: an artificial megastructure in a bespoke star system designed by a long-extinct alien species. The ring has been home to the Corazonians who enjoy perfect climate and surface conditions, thanks to Vexilon, the environmental computer installed by the ring's original designers. Fortunately, Vexilon is a benevolent ally with no interest in world domination. The Corazonians share a deep bond with their caretaker." (LD: "In the Cradle of Vexilon")
