Vulcan version of Captain Kirk

{ON:}

Soral had briefly met with the department heads available and had put together a substantial report for the CO. Having sent that off he decided to take lunch in his quarters before heading off ship to make a final few purchases.

He'd replicated a simple soup for lunch and now sat there deciding to make his first official log entry. "Computer. Begin recording personal log."

There was a few chirps and the computer signaled ready to start recording.

"Soral, Personal log. I find myself at a loss. These last few days I have not felt myself. I have solidified my betrothal, engaged in two romantic encounters with the CMO of the station, one more formal then the second, and have begun dreaming of yet another woman..." He shook his head,

"I am starting to turn into the equivalent of an intergalactic hussy, namely a Vulcan version of Captain Kirk." He sighed, "I have consulted with medical and have found that I am not in the throws of Pon Farr. That being said I cannot explain my behaviour. In an attempt to salvage myself I have redoubled my meditation and have decided to take drastic measures. I must spend most of my time in solitude and meditation if not working."

He stood and carried his empty bowl to the reclamation unit. "On another note I am impressed with the way that the crew is coming together. Each person is working and pushing themselves to the limit and we are sure to meet the deadline for launch. Despite my worries earlier I am finding my footing within my role as an XO and am finding both the challenges and the rewards to be of great value to me. Commander Victrix is proving to be a strong leader and I find myself wondering if she would consider staying on after her mission is over."

He looked over at his dog. "I have not yet picked a name for my K-9 companion. I am however getting closer to it. Have narrowed it down to several that have significance to me and hope to arrive at a logical conclusion shortly. So far the following are candidates: Nebula, Bones, Sandy, Stargazer, Cadence, Darmok, Archie, Enterprise, Pulsar, and Spock."

Soral refilled his dog's food and water bowls. He added a third bowl and a few treats. "The dog is quite attached and I have taken to replicating a uniform for him. The crew seems taken by him and I have had many offers of care. He is on the bridge some times and at others I am using the doctor's technique of leaving clothing I have worn the previous day. He am finding that his exuberant greeting when I arrive home and his companionship is benefiting me greatly more then I had thought it would."

He stood walking to his room to change into an outfit better suited for the station. "I am making one last trip to the station. Ops has accommodated me by installing a water shower and a small cooking space along with a little unit that refrigerates and preserves food. I will be going to fill the unit and obtain some utensils and cookware. I am finding that I am truly attempting to make this a home. I have yet to fully unpack and that is on my list of items to do as well."

He sighed as he picked up the dog's harness and headed towards the door. "Computer end log and file."

There was a final chirp as he exited his quarters.
