+MD 8.0730<br>
+First Officer's Office<br>
+Maril tapped his desk console and began. "Computer, begin First Officer's
+Log, Stardate 81218.0730. Our mission is over, and there are mixed feelings
+among the crew. While it is exciting to meet a possible new ally, the concept
+of having to fight the Reavers is a daunting one. I admit there is little chance of
+the Reavers atttacking soon, but nonetheless they are somewhat frightening.
+"Also, the Issahi may or may not return the Orb of the Bajoran Prophets to
+Bajor. It is even more frightnening to think of the Reavers with something of that
+power in their possession. I hope the situation improves.
+"The Feynman is back to running efficiency, although we did take some
+damage from the battles with the Reavers. The technology of the Reavers should
+definitely be investigated and analyzed so that we can better combat it in the
+future.
+"We also picked up a new Counselor during this mission, in a somewhat
+unconventional manner. Ensign Landers seems to be settling in quite well,
+ordering psychological evaluations for all senior officers. We left Ensign Lee on
+Issah to remain as a representative of the Federation from the Diplomatic Corps.
+"Regretfully, I must report that a number of fine officers were killed or injured
+during this mission. Most of the injured can be treated, but of course the
+deceased are beyond medicine.
+"All in all, it has been an eventful and surprising mission. The crew will need a
+few days of shore leave to relax before the next mission. End log."
+MD 8.1700<br>
+Holodeck 1<br>
+Maril entered the Holodeck somewhat fatigued. He had spent the whole day
+doing administrative work. Transfers, requests, recommendations, complaints,
+reprimands, reports, and just about everything else that went on over the ship and
+a great deal from outside the ship. So Maril was not Exas when he saw land at
+the moment.
+"Are you ready, sir?" Landers said calmly as he passed by.
+Maril brightened. "Ready for anything, Ensign."
+It was then that he saw the mountain and the track. Very well, he had climbed
+that mountain on Vulcan, *with* the stairs. He could climb this.
+However, as Landers explained the evaluation and Maril saw everyone
+equipped with padding and shoes with a line of small wheels, Maril's smile
+dropped. This would not be swimming for the fish.
+The moment Maril tried to walk, his weight collapsed from under him and he
+fell down. He had to set the example, though, so he got back up and tried it
+again. He fell again. He pulled himself up another time and was finally able to
+start when he lost his control and landed on the side of the track.
+Maril resigned himself to the fact that this might take a while. However, when
+he put himself back on the track, he was able to go under his own power and
+under control. It wasn't very graceful, but it started Maril up the mountain. He
+was quickly up to the pack.
+<<<<NRPG: Kevin: He's at the pre-evaluation. Maril can come any time at
+Lander's convenience (except ALPHA shift, which runs 0745-1600 hours each
+day). But he's not coming willingly. <BG> >>>>
+MD 9.1700<br>
+First Officer's Office<br>
+Maril sat back, in a rare relaxed moment. He quickly regained his composure,
+however. He was usually only relaxed in the company of friends in a very safe
+atmosphere. Of course, as the first officer of a starship, there was rarely a time
+when it was very safe, and so he was rarely completely relaxed. Sometimes, he
+loosened up a little with very close friends or family, but that was rare.
+Sighing, he thought back upon recent events. He had finally finished all of the
+reports and most of the recommendations and transfers, so he could think about
+it for a second.
+He remembered the fear he had felt against the Reavers, especially those
+cold feelings, which had seemed almost of something else. He thought about the
+fun and apprehension in the Coalsack.
+He also remembered the great fear and the ultimate sense of loss in fighting
+the Talarian plague. Most of those who died during that mission died under his
+command. Sometimes he thought he had led those crewmembers into death.
+Junior officers often thought that loss of crew did not affect the higher officers.
+Of course, this wasn't true. The more senior officers just hid their feelings from
+the crew better. The plague had been so devastating, though. Maril had never
+lost so many under his command.
+Then, he remembered the terror he had held when his family was missing,
+and his joy when they were found again. He also thought back to the even
+greater joy at his new niece who had been born right on the Feynman.
+Maril smiled. When life seemed hopeless, he could always think back to little
+Krysel. He actually hadn't seen anyone in his family in quite a while. But he
+could still remember....

+Lt. Commander Onta Maril,<br>
+First Officer, USS Feynman,<br>
+aka Max Felsher<br>
+NRPG:
+Kevin: Just giving some background for the evaluation, whenever that may be. :)
+Andy, Kristen: I wonder how Maril's going to react when he finds about Zane and
+Krysa. ;) Oh, well. He'll find out. I just hope he's not the last one on the ship to
+know. <BG>
