As I began to work at my post today, I received a subspace transmission from Dr. McCoy’s office (the vet). I was confused because I wasn’t expecting a hail from sick bay. They confirmed that it was my crewman and then stated, “He’s dead Jim”. Officer Shadow (our black cat) got stuck by a passingContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 02062023.4”

As our ship completes another orbit around Earth, I find myself looking back on the year that has gone by. At the beginning of the year, I was just settling into my new position aboard Starbase 321 (work) as a counselor.

Change is a seductive mistress. She frequently tempts me with alluring visions of possible alternate futures. I sometimes can’t help but to be mesmerized by her enchanting beauty. However, like anything worth having in this universe, there’s always a cost. A few days ago, I seriously entertained the prospect of adding a new officer toContinue reading “Captain’s Blog: Stardate 10202022.1”
Counselor Troi’s Office: Session 2
A post where I roleplay counseling myself Me He (William) can’t be emotionally reassuring. It’s a logic equation for him. I mean…ok he did reassure me physically a bit and tried to be reassuring but he’s just ill-equipped. He’s very clunky at it. Troi A lot of guys don’t try to be emotionally reassuring atContinue reading “Counselor Troi’s Office: Session 2”

The idea to meet these particular individuals came to me based on meetups suggested by holonovelist kurzgesagt (a YouTuber) Things didn’t really play out how I hoped…. I arrivedContinue reading “Captain’s Blog:Stardate 092202022.2”
