Joan Audrey Mortimer, personal logs

by Lars2510

This story follows the Starfleet officer Joan Audrey Mortimer during her travels in space. Her private life will be the central point of the story, but missions are described too. Romances are to be expected..

1. Chapter 1

Space... The final frontier. These are the personal logs of Joan Audrey Mortimer. Her life's work: To serve Starfleet and
the Federation of Planets, to defend all that is precious to humanity and to enjoy you, the reader of her logs.

Author's note: This story is being thought out and written whilst playing the game Star Trek Online (Free to Play).
After every mission I have done I will write a new log entry. and after a few written entries I will add another chapter.
The missions themselves are not the central point of these log entries, but the relation of the main character with the
other characters is. This "soap-part" was and always will be an important part of the Star Trek TV-series and films, one
that the game is lacking. Although my entries are different from the TV-series and films, I hope you will enjoy it nevertheless.

Log: Joan Audrey Mortimer's biography (submitted by Starfleet Command)
Stardate: 89774.39
Earth date: 2409-03-02 13.39.54 hours

As the youngest daughter of a prominent English family, Joan was destined to govern an establishment of
the family company in Ireland, so she learned the art of leadership from a young age. However, her rebellious
nature forced her to use her diplomatic skills (which often included several bitchslaps and a kick to the butt) to
get out of trouble. Her wish to enlist at Starfleet was never received with enthusiasm by her parents. After two
decades of doing only the things her parents demanded, Joan had a falling out with her parents when they found
she was a lesbian. Joan enlisted at Starfleet at age 19, together with her lover. After completing Starfleet Academy
in three years time, she is now assigned as an Ensign to U.S.S. Dordrecht. Exiled from her parent's home, Starfleet is
her new family.

Log: My own ship!

While serving on the U.S.S. Dordrecht as a tactical ensign, captain Taggart died while we were fighting the Borg at Vega.
I mourn for him, although I haven't known him that long or well. I took command and apparently impressed Admiral Quinn.
He promoted me to lieutenant! And whats more, I stayed in command of the Dordrecht! My own ship, instead of running
father's establishment in Ireland. Would love to see his face when (and if) he hears about this... But it has been a long and hard day.
