[Kylana ~]

<<Posting this on behalf of Ens Fen.. Great job on your first ever log :)>>

Sorala woke up to the sound of the computer. She felt as if someone had tied
a rope around her waist and pulled hard and she was sweating. "Think ,
think! ok, right I need to report to the Cheif engenier." She walked over to
her storage compartment and took out her uniform, silently she put on her
uniform and sat on the bad for a minuite to gather her thoughts. She could
her the soft buzzing noise of the Galaxy class starship and the dim lights
relaxed her enough for Sorala to get up and start walking to engeniering.

 She walked swiftly and appeared calm but was still nervous inside.She was
trying to remember all of her starfleet engeniering training so that she
wouldent mess up causing an awkward incident undoutably involving the
sentance "Its ok everybody makes mistakes to begin with". Sorala's pretty
low self esteem was flying through her head. "The best i can hope for is not
to screw up! I hope I dont let the captain down on my first day aboard the
Vimy Ridge, I would hate to upset anybody so soon", She thought. Sorala laid
sight upon the Turbolift.

 She entered the turbolift, "Deck 36, main engeniering"
The turbolift lift started moving, slowly at first and then faster and
faster. "This isn't like the simulations or shuttlecrafts, there's a
majestic pulsating feeling...". The doors opened and before Sorala was the
warp core, wonderous, glowing and fully operational.

 Sorala was ordered to perfom routine maintenance on deck 6 of the saucer
section. She decided that she should get a bit a exercise and use the
Jefferies tubes to get there. It was much harder than the simulations on the
holodecks and far hotter. Sorala found herself wiping the sweat off of her
face and yet it gave her a strange pleasure. When she got there Sorala felt
comfortable and at home with all the science going on around her and was
really starting to enjoy her work.

 She moved on to the other transported rooms, some of them had some very
minor malfunctions in the lesser systems, nothing life threatening. She was
soon completely transfixed in her work and whiled away a good portion of the
day making sure that absoloutly nothing was wrong on Deck 6 saucer section.
She was very happy that nothing was going wrong so far and the crew all
seemed friendly,smiling or nodding at her when she passed them in  the
corridoors.

 Sorala was then told to repair a replecator in Ten Forward. This made
Sorala a little more nervous. "what if i get something wrong and they have
to call someone else to repair the replicator?relax Sora you've done this
hundreds of times before on the holodeck! Relax it'll
be ok".

 When she got their Sorala found ,with at least a little poking around, that
the replicator was
not recieving the order because of a problem in the voice recognition
subroutines. "That should do the trick!" ,Sorala said, "One um.. Vulcan
spice Tea." The tea materialized in a cup in front of her. Sora took a sip
of the tea , paused, and then said "Yep, its working now, sure enough". The
vulcan spice tea gave off a rich and yet bland smell that contredicted
itself, it was Relaxing and she felt as if her synesis had been opened as
she drank. "thank you she said".

 Sorala then reported back to engeniering, where she was told to finish the
day "at least for now". So she wen't to the holodeck. She steped inside.
"Computer , program a gymnasium, 60square feet. Now program a balance board,
width 2 feet, length .. 15 feet.Add a punching bag, hanging from the cieling
by an iron chain and filled with sand. Ok now a cycling machine
specially for someone who is 1.77 meters tall. Save program as Sorala
Gymnasium."

 She began her normal fitness routine for times when she had to get rid of
excess energy,
She did pressups until her arms began to hurt, and then sit-ups until her
stomach hurt. After this she proceded to Run 50 laps of the gymnasium.
Although not an incredibly demandy work out it helps her to relax.

 She headed back to her quarters at around 21 hundred hours and sat down at
a chair.
"Computer, is Beethovens 5th synphony stored in data banks?" "Yes" Replied
the computer.
"Computer , Play that file." Sorala sank back into her chair and listened to
the music. She could feel her muscles relaxing and she was filled with a
warm , joyus feeling and she slowly ambled over to he storage compartment
and took out her pyjamas.  "Computer , one glass of water ." The water
formed and Sorala took it and put it by her bed. "Dim lights." the lighting
level droped and Sorala Changed into her pyjamas. "Computer wake me up at 05
hundred hours". She took a gulp of water and turned so she was facing her
left side. She lisened to the
Soft Humming noise of the ship and reflected back on her day. "Today was
enjoyable, im looking forward to tommorow , i think that ill be able to feel
at home here, and im looking forward to getting to know the crew better".
Then her eyes closed and she drifed into a deep sleep.
