Ensign Chekov:

There may be some significance behind the exchange you described; however, given the very public nature of this bulletin board, it is also possible a staff member or an ill-meaning patient chose to remove your message.

I have yet to discover any evidence indicating the presence of the war criminal Nero, although it would be unwise to discount the possibility. Exert caution when discussing information that may be of a sensitive nature, particularly when utilizing the bulletin board.

I intend to speak to Captain Kirk at the first opportunity in order to assess his condition, and will meet you at the designated rendezvous point at the appointed time.

Yes, sir. I'll be more sensitive to the public nature of the board from now on. Though even if it was a staff member or a prank of some kind, it did leave me with a bad feeling, I will admit.

Understood, sir. I will see you then.

Mr. Chekov, I fail to understand how your "feelings" provide any solid insight concerning the reasons behind the removal of your message. It would be best to only consider the facts during investigations.

The 'bad feeling' I was referring to came from both of my messages being removed and this phenomenon never occurring to anything I've posted on this board before. Considering this, plus the strange happenings of the past few days, I could only

Yes, sir. I'll be sure to do that next time, sir.
