Captain's Log
Stardate: 62526.1

We had an excellent meeting last night. We didn't have all of our members in attendance, but we had a good number of them. Using Yahoo! Messenger allowed T'Mynn and T'sogh to join the meeting. it had been a long time since we could chat with either of them. Due to their ongoing computer issues, we will continue to have our official meetings on Yahoo! Messenger in order to allow full participation.

Our newest member, ENS Michael Conard, was in attendance and felt comfortable enough to speak up and voice his opinion. We had some good discussion about several agenda items.

I had the honor of promoting two members during the meeting. ENS Brian Wiskus was promoted tp Lieutenant(junior grade) and CRMN Michael Conard was promoted to Ensign. Congratulation, Brian and Michael! Keep up the good work.

Our Web site has a page for each crew member's personal and career biography, to have information added, just e-mail Siran at siranofvulcan@gmail.com and he will add it to the Web site. I would like to see all the senior staff have their biographies on the Web site.

Computer end recording and save.

Stardate: 62468.3

Once again, our last meeting only had 2 crew members in attendance. This meeting was even on Yahoo! chat, not IMVU. I really don't know what else to do. I have told everyone that we won't be meeting every week until after the first of the year. Maybe a break in meetings will help to get people to come back.

I hope every one will have a safe and happy holiday season.

Merry Christmas.



It was with a heavy heart I heard that Majel Barrett-Roddenberry had passed away. I never had the chance to meet her. I wish I had. We've never had any big conventions in my area. it will be bittersweet to hear her voice as the computer in the new movie next year. Another star has gone out in the Trek universe. May God bless and comfort the Roddenberry family.

The USS Vre'kasht had dimmed her running lights until further notice.

We've Commissioned!

This was posted to the Region Six Yahoo Group list on June 28. Admiral Urvand mentions there will be an official notice, that has not happened in the week since this was first posted. I doubt it will ever happen.

"- I'll have the official notice out in a day or so, but I had the pleasure of commissioning the USS Vre'kasht, NCC-33187 into service.Congratulations to her crew!

- With the commissioning of Vre'kasht, I am pleased to announce that T'Plon has been promoted to the rank of Captain and Siran has been promoted to the rank of Commander. Congratulations to you both!

Mr. Spock: The 'Mystery of Masculinity' Embodied

I found this interesting story on the NPR Web site.

by Neda Ulaby
Weekend Edition Sunday, June 1, 2008 · When Gene Roddenberry created the TV series Star Trek, the suits at NBC had some advice: "Lose the Martian."

They were talking about Spock.

But Mr. Spock went on to become the most beloved half-alien in network history. In fact he went on to become, well, one of the most fascinating fictional characters on TV.

Fascinating — four syllables and one arched eyebrow — that's Spock, just as much as his pointy Vulcan ears.

The first time actor Leonard Nimoy said the word was in an episode where the crew of the USS Enterprise faced a strange, sinister entity. No matter where the ship turned, the object managed to be in their way. The bridge was on high alert — so Nimoy shouted out his next line with the same energy: "Fascinating!"

"The director, God bless him, said be different from everyone else," Nimoy remembers. So on the next take: "Fascinating," in that cool, collected way.

As you can tell from the title of this blog, I am Vulcan. And mention of Vulcan or Vulcans catches my attention. Spock was my favorite character on the original series.

"Fascinating" is a word I use for the unexpected. "Interesting" shall suffice here. - Spock
