Constables Log 3

The crew of the Linnaeus has been extremely busy.
 
Whilst the systems we have visited have mostly been only suitable for mining opportunities we have nevertheless come across a higher than normal amount of anomalies and interactions with species.
The Shackleton Expanse is proving to be more populated and dangerous than I think anyone expected.
 
Dojin and Tavor are currently not with us, working primarily on the cryogenics project with the lost avian species. This has left gaps in our science and engineering capabilities. Myself and Callie are attempting to fill in but I worry about a serious situation and our ability to deal with it. I continue to be concerned for the safety of my science charges.
 
We have however managed to cope with a damaged Borg cube, a kidnapping by inept bounty hunters and an untrustworthy aquatic species. Recently I had to pull off a rescue of Callie and Erica from the aquatic species, I believe the Klingons would call them unworthy opponents. I have included my side of the interactions within Erica's as usual thorough report.
 
Having run out of suitable planets in the D'Kot and Charlie systems we have moved to the Edo sector and immediately discovered what appears to be a Dominion base. We have successfully tapped into their ad-hoc communications probe and I await further information from this. We have avoided contact for now, I do not wish to risk the lives of my companions, but the Dominion will need to be dealt with sooner or later. I am pondering on informing the Klingon commander on Narendra Station, perhaps they might resolve the problem for us...
 
All out efforts so far have not found us a truly suitable planet that is not contested or claimed in some manner. The next three systems contain an M class each so perhaps they will prove fruitful, once the Dominion are dealt with. We can only hope.
