Stardate 1542.9

We've spent a few days at Colony 5, so some of the more traumatized victims of Charlie's rampage could recover a little...
You'd be a little shook up if you were turned into an iguana too, so why not go ahead and travel to your original destination for some r+r

Supplemental: Sadie, Rand, and Zanotti have been keeping a 24hr a day watch on Tina Lawton -- she seems to be returning to normal finally...

Continued: It's been 2 days since Woods has seen the old woman in her mirror, and Ensign Stacy's scar has finally disappeared...

Stardate 1537.2

Well, Charlie is gone -- the Thasians took him back, and restored most of the damage he did, except for the Antares...

Stardate 1536.2

More Charlie reports -- Specialist Woods reported to sickbay after Charlie turned her into on old woman.
Woods was the name of the actress playing the part...

Continued: Ensign Stacy nearly suffocated when Charlie "defaced" her. McCoy did an emergency tracheotomy so she could breathe...
You have to figure it would be hard to breath if you didn't have any nostrils or a mouth. Stacy is one of my followers as well...

Stardate 1536.1

Charlie made Sam Ellis vanish!! This must have been what the Antares was trying to warn us about before they blew up..
Sam's last name isn't mentioned in the episode, but Memory Alpha quoted a novelization saying his name was Ellis -- another site gave a different name...

Supplemental: Sadie can't find Tina Lawton, although someone has found an iguana on Deck 5 -- Oh No! What do I tell Sadie?

Continued: The Capt. tells me Charlie made Janice Rand "go away" too! We've got to get rid of him, I don't care how young he is...

Stardate 1535.8

The Antares blew up mysteriously -- I'm sending a report to UESPA with what information we have, which isn't very much yet..

Supplemental: It appears that Charlie may have had something to do with the Antares explosion, as well as the aborted concert...

Stardate 1534.1

I was wrong, Charlie slapped Yoeman Rand on the butt (he'd seen two crewmen in the hall do it), and yet he still walks...

Supplemental: Zanotti was in the rec room when Spock and Uhura gave an impromptu concert -- it ended strangely after Charlie arrived...

Stardate 1533.7

Captain called to have us prepare guest quarters for Charlie Evans, the special passenger we took from the Antares.

Supplemental: Charlie seems like a nice kid, but if Yoeman Rand catches him looking at her butt like he did just now, she'll neuter him...
Horny teenagers will never change, even several hundred years from now...

Stardate 1532.2

We've been ordered to rendesvouz with the Antares to pick up a special passenger.
Time to start Charlie X

Stardate 1520.7

Sadie, Martine, Tomlinson and Zanotti suprised me with a birthday party. Don't recall telling Sadie when my birthday was..
I too was suprised with a birthday party, although my wife has known my birthday for many many years...

Supplemental: Lt McGready spent all night making goo-goo eyes at Zanotti, but she was too goofy to notice. A fun night was had by all...

Stardate 1518.4

Stopped at Starship Base Ankara to deliver some supplies, and transferred the deceased for transport home.
I listened to Uhura's line from the show about 40 times, and read every reference I could find online, and couldn't come up with any other name for where Space Commander Domingues was waiting for his chili peppers

Supplemental: Held memorial services for our fallen shipmates, Zanotti and Martine read some Catholic prayers for Sturgeon -- very moving..
Martinez is seen praying in the chapel at the end of Balance of Terror, plus E.M. Zanotti is a self described "relapsed Catholic", so I thought it's be a nice touch.

Stardate 1513.8

Capt Kirk and Spock beamed down to find some answers from Prof. Crater, and found Crewman Green's body as well...

Supplemental: Now at GQ Security level 4, trying to locate the creature that's killing crewman - Just got word Prof. Crater has been killed.

Stardate 1513.6

Crewman Sturgeon is dead, same reason as Darnell. Asked Ltjg. Zanotti to get more forms ready -- I think we'll need them.
This was one of the more 'bloody' episodes...

Supplemental: Rand and Sulu found Crewman Barnhart's body on deck 9. I knew this was only going to get worse, now its happening on the ship.

Stardate 1513.3

Crewman Darnell was found dead on the planet's surface, still waiting for the medical report for the paperwork...

Supplemental: Darnell died from acute sodium-chloride depletion -- all the salt was removed from his body -- but how do you do that?
The question on everyone's mind.

Stardate 1512.9

Heading for planet M113 to check up on a scientific team researching the lost civilization there...
Welcome to The Man Trap

Supplemental: Lt Uhura has been named Chief Communications officer, a transfer to the engineering department, and a new pretty red uniform.
Previous to this, Uhura was always wearing a gold uniform.

Stardate 1514.4

Capt Kirk, Dr McCoy and Lt Bailey (?) beam over to the alien ship, and discover the whole ordeal was just a test for us...

Supplemental: Bailey is staying on the Fesarius (the alien ship) as an ambassador(??), I'll have to write up the transfer paperwork for this
I suppose sometime we'll have to go and pick him back up...

Continued: When we reported to Starfleet, we discovered the ships chronometers were off. Still working to get back in sync, and find why...
This was an error in the original episodes -- the first stardate in The Man Trap occurs while the Enterprise is being dragged off to the First Federation's home planet. So I cheated a bit...

Stardate 1514.2

Well, Capt. Kirk must have done something right. We're still alive, but being towed somewhere by an alien shuttle...

Supplemental: We're going to try to break away from the alien ships tractor beam and make an escape. Time to batten down the hatches.

continued: We sucessfully escaped, but damage the alien ship when we did -- now we're on a rescue mission to our captors...
Me, I'd have probably ran away faster than King Arthur's knights from the deadly bunny...

Stardate 1514

After much debate and many meetings, the captain has decided to go on, in hopes of finding the cube's creators...

Supplemental: Well, looks like we found the cube's owners -- and they're not happy about thier missing cube...

Oh Great, an announcement over the ships speakers -- we have 10 of our minutes left to live. Another fine mess he's gotten us into...
So what would you do if you were told you had 10 minutes to live?

9 Minutes: Sadie came in, she'd rather spend her last minutes with me than her computer terminal -- I can only agree with that...

8 Minutes: Ltjg Zanotti came in pacing back and forth, chattering incoherantly, and sobbing -- Sadie is trying to calm her down...

7 Minutes: I guess Lt. Bailey couldn't take the strain either. He lost his control on the bridge and was sent to his cabin.

6 Minutes: The alien ship just destroyed our records bouy -- so none of this stuff will go out -- don't know why I'm still writing it...

5 Minutes: Ltjg Zanotti is much calmer now, but clinging to Sadie like a shipwreck survivor clinging to a piece of driftwood...

4 minutes: I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round -- I really like to watch them roll...
A little John Lennon reference...

3 minutes: We must look quite a sight, Zanotti clinging to Sadie like she'll save her from the blast, me holding Sadie's hand ..

2 minutes: I say how much I'll miss Mars, Zanotti says how she'll miss her parents, Sadie says how much she'll miss plomeek soup...
Oh come on, you knew it had to come in sometime...

1 minute: still laughing...
Sometimes hysteria can be fun...

Stardate 1512.2

Well, I knew it couldn't last. We're at Alert status again -- some glowing cube blocking our way and it won't leave...
Here we go, the start of The Corbomite Manuver

Supplemental: The glowing cube started emitting lethal levels of radiation, so Capt. Kirk destroyed it. The question is - now what?
