=/\= Captain's Log, Jalana Rajel, Stardate 240012.19

It is quite a disappointment to return to a new entry with the news that our distressed Enterprise Crew was not all that they appeared to be. After all the careful preparation and - let's be honest - excitement to have a brush with history, it would be a lie to say that this was just another mission that ended differently than expected.

Thinks started out rather well. When we arrived for our first meet up it all seemed normal and well, like another time travel incident that needed to be handled carefully. Throughout our time on the Enterprise it did not occur to me that something was amiss. While I was on the bridge it went quite normal. Nobody knew what exactly happened so teams went on to find out why the ship was disabled in the Nebula.

While I am still waiting on some reports, a few have already arrived and it looked a lot differently. Engineering discovered the Computer's corruption including files that sent data to an Artificial network, Stock Numbers were accessed and transferred, communications were monitored and collected, and efforts to repair the ship were reverted and slowed down from different parts of the ship. According to medical records the man known as Leonard McCoy gave injured the wrong medications and most of the work done to patients were delegated but not executed by him. Some parts were dated 2398 or older, which leads to my conclusion that the ship had been travelling for at least two years if not longer. It appears to be a Miracle that this ship and its crew made it this far.

While I was not aware of all these events, what threw it all into the bathwater for me was when a group of men stormed the bridge, wearing pinstripe suits. As if that wasn't bad enough and completely out of fashion, they also carried projectile weapons that even people 3 lifetimes ago on Trill would not have touched. Way too unsafe. Either way they stormed the bridge to take over. Through conversation, or rather listening to accusations towards 'Kirk' I discovered that these people were Iotians and some of them had undergone some procedure to turn into the figures from our history books.

Which is a measure that's completely unnecessary seeing that Ioatians are Federation members and have access to the Federation. Their old fashioned way of life had been phased out over time, but it seems that smaller groups of Iotians continued to hold onto it, believing it to be the right path. Though my impression stems from a very short limited time of interaction.

According to information I have received so far numerous Iotians were injured and several were hit fatally with projectile damage. Luckily none of the Constitution Crew were affected beyond very minor injuries that could be dealt with within minutes. The impersonation of Starfleet Officers, hostile action as well as the fatalities will not be easy to be dealt with. Maybe they had reasons beyond what we understand but these will have to be presented to Starfleet itself.

We will however not host the parlay or the court martial, as we were called away before we could even reach Starbase 104. A tow ship intercepted to receive the Enterprise and its crew to bring them to the base and hand them over to the Authorities.

Our new orders will bring us to Arentis, a Resort Planet that was created for the Winter tourism industry. It appears that their artificial weather system has been running into issues and I quote 'these casual engineers are unable to bring it back up'. Headquarters figured that we can give them a hand, which should take all but 10 minutes, and then recover from our mission with a lovely down time in the winter-scape of Arentis.

We are now on the way to it, but before I can enjoy the presented pleasures, I will have to have a serious talk with my First Officer. Not something I look forward to, but based on her report of her time on the Enterprise, it is necessary.

End Captain's Log. =/\=
