Stupid paradoxes.
Stardate, uh, supplemental, I guess. Finally pulling into Starbase 668. Managed to dock several days ago and then the weirdest thing happened. I blinked...and suddenly I was back enroute to the Starbase. Just as I'd gotten used to that, I blinked...and I was back on Earth being briefed. Then I was on that stupid outpost, listening to the station commander telling me about the mating rituals of the Denibian tree slime, then I was back on the Marlowe, 3 days out from 668. By my count, I've lost about a month, somehow, although my onboard chronometer doesn't seem to be working.
I scanned various frequencies, trying to figure out what was going on and if other people had experienced anything similar. Got a lot of static, so I checked out some records from the Marlowe's library and found a few things that sounded familiar under headings of "Temporal rifts and anomalies". Yeah, right. Whatever. Personally, I'd rather blame it on blackouts and hallucinations caused by Mama Khan's remedy, because if all of those things really were caused by temporal thingies, we could all be in big trouble. But if it was just a blackout, I don't have to report it, right?
Ah, whatever. I'm here. I'm checking in and going to sleep. I'll find her in the morning--if she's still here...
