XO’S LOG – 5.29.2789
06:12 : Officer’s Meeting. Went through the COMSEC Updates from the previous six hours. Nothing startling. Report of a weapons discharge on a Reaper-Class in the Kiel System. A deck-cannon misfired after a computer error. No impact. Locally, our mirror was holding position.

07:24 : Reported for duty. Commander is still down with the Bug. Ran system-wide diagnostic and validated weapon packages. Clear across the board. Watched our Mirror run flight drills, looked like rapid deployment simulations in upper atmo.

11:15 : Nills (Comms) sounded like he was coming down with something. All was quiet so I sent him to Medical. His 2nd was more than capable as a substitute.

12:32 : Finally got some chow. Boredom seems to be really getting to the crew. Some tempers even flared today in the Mess. Will relay to the Commander and try to come up with possible solutions to relieve some stress.

15:34 : I don’t know where to start. I was working on my battle-sim assessment of the Xi’An carrier when Shaw (Comms) alerted me to the news on the Spectrum. Turned on bridge monitors, apparently Senator Akari from Terra independently brokered a treaty with the Xi’An. It’s supposed to take effect at 19:00 (LST). The inter-system Comms absolutely lit up. People thought it was a joke. Maybe some Activist cracked the NewsOrgs? Wouldn’t be the first time. We couldn’t honor this treaty, right? Should we arrest Akari for treason? The news wouldn’t reach Earth for days so no one knew what to do. I was just as dumbfounded as everyone else so I notified the Commander who immediately reported to the bridge.

16:20 : Everyone’s still flying blind. All ships are on high alert. Looking for any kind of aggression from our Mirrors. So far nothing. This could all be a Xi’An trick. I wouldn’t put it past the Slinks to try something this elaborate.

19:02 : Our Xi’An Mirror recalled its fighter patrols, powered down its weapons and backed away.

I guess we’re at peace?

XO'S LOG - 5.29.2789
06:12 : Offizierstreffen. Ging durch die COMSEC-Updates der letzten sechs Stunden. Nichts Aufregendes. Bericht über eine Waffenentladung auf eine Schnitterklasse im Kieler System. Eine Deckkanone ist nach einem Computerfehler fehlgeschlagen. Keine Auswirkung. Vor Ort hielt unser Spiegel die Position.

07:24 : Zum Dienst gemeldet. Der Kommandant ist immer noch mit dem Bug am Ende. Durchführte systemweite Diagnose und validierte Waffenpakete. Alles klar auf der ganzen Linie. Ich beobachtete unsere Mirror Run Flugübungen, die wie schnelle Einsatzsimulationen in der oberen Atmosphäre aussahen.

11:15 Uhr: Nills (Comms) klang, als würde er sich etwas einfallen lassen. Alles war ruhig, also schickte ich ihn auf die Krankenstation. Sein zweiter war als Ersatz mehr als fähig.

12:32 Uhr: Endlich etwas zu essen. Langeweile scheint die Crew wirklich zu erreichen. Einige Gemüter flammten heute sogar im Kasino auf. Wird sich an den Kommandanten wenden und versuchen, mögliche Lösungen zu finden, um Stress abzubauen.

15:34 Uhr: Ich weiß nicht, wo ich anfangen soll. Ich arbeitete an meiner Kampfsimulationsbewertung des Xi'An-Trägers, als Shaw (Comms) mich auf die Nachrichten über das Spektrum aufmerksam machte. Einschalten von Brückenmonitoren, anscheinend vermittelte Senator Akari von Terra unabhängig einen Vertrag mit den Xi'An. Es soll um 19:00 Uhr (LST) wirksam werden. Das Inter-System Comms leuchtet absolut auf. Die Leute dachten, es sei ein Witz. Vielleicht hat ein Aktivist die NewsOrgs geknackt? Wäre nicht das erste Mal. Wir konnten diesen Vertrag nicht einhalten, oder? Sollen wir Akari wegen Verrats verhaften? Die Nachrichten würden die Erde tagelang nicht erreichen, also wusste niemand, was zu tun war. Ich war genauso verblüfft wie alle anderen, also informierte ich den Kommandanten, der sich sofort auf der Brücke meldete.

16:20 : Alle fliegen immer noch blind. Alle Schiffe sind in höchster Alarmbereitschaft. Auf der Suche nach jeglicher Art von Aggression aus unseren Spiegeln. Bisher nichts. Das könnte alles ein Xi'An-Trick sein. Ich würde es nicht über die Slinks legen, um etwas so Aufwändiges auszuprobieren.

19:02 : Unser Xi'An Mirror erinnerte sich an seine Jagdfliegerpatrouillen, schaltete seine Waffen aus und wich zurück.

Ich schätze, wir sind in Frieden?
