HOOD has remained in orbit of Outpost 8 for the past five days while Commander Gar and his teams have worked their magic repairing our battle damage. I am pleased to report that all systems are at nominal and it won't be necessary for us to put in to a Starbase for more extensive repairs. | HOOD has remained in orbit of Outpost 8 for the past five days while Commander Gar and his teams have worked their magic repairing our battle damage.

The round up of the Klingon soldiers on the planet has been completed and all prisoners are currently aboard the destroyers CUMBERLAND and DIEPPE who arrived 48 hours ago. I regret the number of Klingons that lost their lives. After returning to orbit I informed the Klingon commander of the defeat and withdrawal of their space fleet. Given their lack of support I had felt certain that he would agree to order his troops to lay down their weapons. Unfortunately the Klingons opted to fight to the death. We tried once more to affect a cease fire at the unit level with no success. In the end ship's phasers were used to stun the ground forces. Some Starfleet personnel were caught in the stun but in the end we were able to sort them out. | The round up of the Klingon soldiers on the planet has been completed and all prisoners are currently aboard the destroyers CUMBERLAND and DIEPPE who arrived 48 hours ago.

Both the crew and I are anxious to get underway and begin our next mission. At this point our orders are to continue to patrol this sector until relieved by POTEMKIN. Once relieved, in seven days, we are to set course for the Tilron Expanse. | Both the crew and I are anxious to get underway and begin our next mission.

Handing the recording device to his yeoman Jack took in the sights and sounds of the bridge. The battle with the Klingons had been hard fought. He still hadn't come to terms with the deaths of his crew but he knew it could have been much worse. But one thing seemed clear. This trial by fire had served to forge a team. A team that knew it could accomplish the impossible. | Handing the recording device to his yeoman Jack took in the sights and sounds of the bridge. The battle with the Klingons had been hard fought.
