Captain's Log, Stardate 2011.201
...Seriously. Stardate two zero one one.
I have unexpectedly found myself in the city of Baedal. The means of my abduction and transport remain unclear, as do my prospects for return to the Enterprise. The helpful pamphlet that was in the room when I arrived tells me there's no going home and I should just accept my fate and wait for my ambition to be rewarded.
I don't agree.
I have requested a meeting with a representative of the local government and/or the Twelve Point Divinity--the city's pantheon, if I read the pamphlet right. So far my request has not been met, but I will continue making it.
All attempts to contact the Enterprise or to access its computers via the PADD that made the trip with me have failed.
[There's a pause. Then a small sigh.]
...Kirk out.
Personal Log, Stardate 2011.201
...I hoped I'd get to enjoy my ship for more than two months.
I have a bad feeling about this. According to the people who answered my communication, I'm far from the first person this has happened to and I won't be the last. They have a pamphlet. Too professional for my liking.
Spock, I hope you're working on a way to get me back from that end.
Kirk out.
