Captain's Log Age Date 2014.12.13
As commander of the Eldership de-I, I called a staff meeting with Wife today. You'd think with only two of us on the Eldership that this would be a relatively simple task but Wife insisted that protocol be followed and wouldn't accept my verbal request and required that I send her an email request. You may recall that on the bridge of the de-I that I am right across from Wife. But never mind.
As mentioned last time we are struggling with the fact that while a full ship's complement is 571 there were only 2 of us assigned to this mission. Wife believes this is because I made such a big stinko to do about even getting semi-retired that the Elder Fleet Command wanted to send me a less than subtle message that you're getting old dodo...accept it!
None the less, we have to find a way to fill all the jobs. Wife, is not only acting as the lovely Beverly Crusher, Doctor and gorgeous red head (perfect role for Wife) but she's the Executive Officer as well. Since she does most of the fix it stuff, she'll be the Engineer and because she handles the books she's the Logistics Officer as well. I get to take on things like Navigation, Communications, and Weapons Officer.
However we're having a BIG, BIG fight over one job.
Neither of us will agree to be the red tunic enlisted person who gets killed in every episode.

Oh dear. No one wants to be the anonymous Red Shirt. Exactly what will the duties of the weapons addict be during the upcoming operations?
lol. surely that can rotate?
Indeed RM. Alexis the problem with rotating is that if you're the first doing the red tunic enlisted guy or gal (especially if it is an away mission!) who gets killed your out of the show :(
And its not a weapons addict RM but Weapons Officer (Humph)
