Stardate 1712.8

Tomlinson's replacement transferred in today from the USS Constellation - he already knows the new weapons system upgrade...
They would need to replace Tomlinson (who appeared to be in charge of phaser operations), so send in someone who already uses the new systems. Plus, by having him come from the Constellation, it gives me a good excuse to send someone back to them.

Supplemental: just received orders sending McGready to the USS Constellation effective immediately. Things are looking up...
Like McGready...

cont. Capt. Kirk told me to ask Martine if she wanted him to sign her marriage license so she would qualify for survivor benefits...
Kirk would do something like that, bend the rules a little bit to help out a member of his crew.
