CAPTAIN'S LOG: STARDATE 4031.2
"It has been a week since Spock, Bones, Scotty and I were found innocent of trying to take over the Enterprise. Once we proved that Janice Lester had taken over my body and I had returned to my own body, the crew recognized the possession for what it was and the charges were dropped. Unfortunately, we underestimated the strength of the alien device that had swapped my mind with Miss Lester's.
"As we began our trip to StarBase 12 to deliver our prisoners into custody, I woke up one morning back in the brig, and once again back inside the body of Janice Lester. You have to give Janice credit. She had used her sudden freedom and my body to steal the Galileo II shuttlecraft from an Ensign preparing a routine survey flight.
"She would have succeeded in escaping with my male body if Spock hadn't been on duty on the bridge. His highly trained Vulcan mind sensed something amiss as the pilot flew by the bridge and locked a tractor beam onto the stolen vessel.
"Since the unwilling exchange had recurred, Spock and I decided to return to the scene of the crime to permanently restore my body and mind to the correct owner. When Spock, Bones, and I beamed down, we were shocked to find the alien mind transference machine destroyed! Apparently, Janice had no intention of returning to her own body once she became... Captain Kirk, and she planted a small bomb to destroy the device after the Enterprise left orbit.
"Star Fleet has agreed to send a science vessel to study the planet and try to dredge up more secrets of how to swap bodies but it could take years to accomplish. I could be stuck with this feminine form for years if they fail to discover the science used to make the exchange.
"Spock thinks the best alternative solution may be with the transporters. They have been used to filter out poisons and other foreign objects inside human bodies. They even split my body, the male one, into twins a few years ago and merged them back together into one. Spock estimates it will take one year and three and one half months before I can consider making a reasonable attempt to get my body back.
"Meanwhile, we have been ordered back to earth so Star Fleet can consider how to handle this strange turnabout of our bodies. Admiral Delikov ordered Mr. Spock to assume command of the enterprise until our return to headquarters. There, Star Fleet will retest me to ascertain my fitness for command.
"During the trial, Janice had asked if I expected Star Fleet to simply give me command of the Enterprise assuming I convinced anyone I truly was Captain James T. Kirk. It would appear the answer is no, just as she surmised.
"I will have to earn my command all over again.
"I am still James T. Kirk, locked within the body of Janice Lester as of this report."

CAPTAIN'S MEDICAL LOG: STARDATE 4032.8
"Doctor McCoy has asked me to keep a detailed personal Medical Log so he can monitor my emotional state. I've been informed by the good Doctor that female bodies are subject to more extremes of emotion and I may find my female hormones influencing the way I think and behave. Since I may possess this unfamiliar female body for years and, if the worse scenario comes about, perhaps the rest of my days, the first thing I did was to ask Doctor McCoy to see if my new body was fit for command.
"He ran the same tests on me which he had run on my real body when Janice was hiding inside of it. I no longer had the same strength I had in my male body, but it was fit enough for Star Fleet requirements for females. As I may never escape my female prison, I have begun a regimen of exercise and diet to bring it to peak condition as soon as possible with a program Bones designed to strengthen the soft spots Janice had neglected. Star Fleet would find me a fit specimen for command duties when I walked into their examination rooms on Earth.
"Right after my exam by the doctor, Nurse Chapel spent the better part of a day going over the requirements and needs of my new feminine physique. I reluctantly paid great attention to her lecture, since I obviously had no choice but to learn how to maintain the all too female body I was trapped within.
"To my surprise, there was much I had to learn. I knew the basics of human biology, of course but there were so many small details and some major things of which I basically was unaware. My male body seemed to be very low maintenance compared to the requirements of my new, feminine anatomy.
"I tried persuading Nurse Chapel for almost a half an hour after she wrapped up her presentation to understand that I had no intention of requiring the birth control shot she wanted to give me, nor any plans of needing it for the foreseeable future. As I argued with her, Bones walked in, heard the tail end of our conversation, grabbed a hypospray, and implanted the birth control supplement into my rear end.
"I felt weird rubbing the spot on my wide rear end where he gave me the shot. I doubt I will ever get accustomed to having so much more flesh in that area, not to mention the twin protrusions always in front of me now on my chest. As much as I enjoy seeing an attractive female bosom, looking down upon one every time I look at myself is overdoing it. And I could definitely do without feeling the bounce or jiggle they made whenever I moved my upper body.
"Over the past few weeks since I first found myself in this strange new shape, I have only begun to understand its many needs and complexities. I no longer have to wine and dine a woman before I can touch her in her more private areas. Those areas are available whenever I want now. Still, it is just not the same feeling. I may have access to a female body at my whim, but it is MY female body for now. And while the female mind and feminine soul are equally as important and attractive to me, I most certainly do NOT possess either of those despite my currently feminine flesh.
"Nor do I intend to acquire them."
"Nurse Chapel has been a great help teaching me about my new biology. Lectures are quite educational but there are some things I will have to further explore by myself, in private.
"At Nurse Chapel's suggestion, Lt. Uhura agreed to help me change my wardrobe. We managed to redesign my uniforms to fit my current form. It seems none of my Captain's uniforms fit me adequately anymore, and I refuse to wear the ultra-feminine dresses and pant-suits that Janice seemed to prefer wearing when she had this body. Nor do I want to wear any of her clothes. It's bad enough that I have to see her face instead of my own in the mirror each day.

RESUMING CAPTAIN'S MEDICAL LOG: STARDATE 4033.2
"I managed to convince Uhura to stop trying to talk me into wearing short skirts. I even tried putting on a couple of them for an hour or so at her insistence, and wore one to dinner that night but I just didn't feel right wearing them. The snickering of a few of the men and the intrigued looks from some of the other men didn't help much.Uhura and so many other female crewmembers might enjoy wearing short skirts and dresses, and I would be the first to admit to finding them attractive on women.
"Short skirts may well be the latest in fashion styles, as Uhura pointed out to me, but I have worn pants all my life and I have no intention of changing this pattern. I'll take the comfort of a pair of pants over fashion any day. I doubt I will ever get used to the way the men on the ship look at me now,but I know very well how a pair of pretty legs can effect a man and I have no intention of regaining my command while wearing a dress.
"Uhura, an expert in the following, also gave me some pointers on how to manage the breasts I have been forced to learn to deal with daily. She and I apparently are the same size in the breast arena, though her waist is quite smaller than mine is now.
"Since they are too delicate to be reproduced aboard ship, Uhura loaned me a few of her bras to supplement the ones Janice had owned until we get to a Star Base and she can take me shopping for new clothes. I find them very uncomfortable but I do have to admit that a bra will be a necessity as long as I remain in Janice's body. Fortunately, panties are stocked plentifully in the ship's stores so I won't be forced to wear any worn by the previous occupant of my new body.
"I was astonished when Uhura stripped to her underwear while we tried on new clothing in the female dressing rooms in the ship's store. As long as I get a few chances to see Uhura's magnificent body unclad, I am more than willing to listen to her advice.
"Note that I said 'listen'. I am not taking her suggestions in another feminine matter. I refuse to wear makeup. It seems unnecessary and my face feels strange when she puts the stuff on my face. I agreed to wear small earrings since there were already holes in my ears, and I know many men who wear one or more earrings, but that's my limit.
"I'm nowhere close to being ready to look as feminine as Uhura. I may be a woman in body now, but I am still a man in spirit,and I intend to stay that way.
"It's a shame we never shared more than a kiss between us, though. Uhura is a wonderful woman and a friend I can count on. Sadly, I no longer possess the proper masculine equipment to make her happy. I had always hoped that there would come a day when we would get close, but I never expected it to be as "bosom buddies." At least she remains a faithful officer and friend, and now a close confidante as well.
"She is teaching me some exercises that will get this body in better shape. Janice must have let it go to waste once she discovered the means to acquire my toned masculine form.
"Damn, I miss that body. I worked hard to keep it in top condition and now I have this soft, frail, feminine shape instead. When our minds temporarily returned to their proper bodies, I tried to tell her she should accept the handicaps as well as the benefits of being a woman.
"How ironic is it that I have to take my own advice and do the same.

ACTING CAPTAIN SPOCK'S LOG: STARDATE 4035.6
"The Enterprise has moved into Earth's orbit and docked with the maintenance base. Janice Lester has been remanded to custody on earth. Star Fleet,and I are debating what to do with my temporary command. They want Captain Kirk to return to Earth and accept a desk job. That is not a logical nor acceptable response, and Captain Kirk and myself are going to appeal this to the highest authority if need be.

CAPTAIN'S LOG: STARDATE 4035.9
"... I refuse to admit defeat, and that is what I would do if I agreed to their plan. Spock and all of my senior command officers support my staying on as Captain.
"Janice could never have been a Captain, but not because she was a woman, as she tried to tell everyone for the past decade. There are two women in charge of Star Fleet ships as I write this. I will be the third if I get my ship back. I would be a member of a minority of women in command at Star Fleet. A minority to be sure, but hardly the total absence of female commanders Janice so violently protested against by stealing my body from me.
"Of course, being a man trapped in an ex-girlfriend's body, I am actually a minority of one. Two if you count Janice's reversed situation. Which I do not. I think that was the first time I have joked about my situation since I lost my… male body.
"Janice never got a command because she was paranoid and mentally unstable. That was the main reason I stopped dating her, and the reason for her dismissal from Star Fleet. I thank god every morning now that I possess her body that her madness was a psychological disorder, and not something physically wrong with her brain.
"Dr McCoy has run every test imaginable, and some he dreamed up especially for these strange circumstances, and found nothing wrong with me that proper diet and exercise won't cure. The radiation this body was exposed to was minor, just enough to weaken me and insure our taking Janice off the planet. It would seem, even in her madness, she was unable to bring herself to kill her former body. I suppose I should be grateful to get a clean bill of health from Bones.
StarFleet Medical has completed a new batch of medical and psychological testing and reluctantly reached the same conclusion as Bones.
"I am fit for command."

CAPTAIN'SLOG: STARDATE 4036.7
"I havecome to an agreement with Star Fleet Command. They will allow me to continue on as Captain of the Enterprise. Spock will become my Number One officer in addition to his other duties. He will command all off ship activities involving the unknown until I regain full and complete mastery of my new body.
"I admittedly still have problems with some of my reactions. I have a list of things I need to work on. For starters, few of my self-defense techniques will work well against a foe with my new body's female musculature. My arms seem much weaker due to less upper body strength. And while walking presents me few difficulties, whenever I try physical activities I excelled in as a man, I seem to run across problems with my sense of balance. These wide hips and feminine rear end still seem so… big. And my fists and feet are almost tiny compared to my stolen male extremities.
"Uhura has promised to teach me more feminine methods of self-defense but until I learn them, it does seem a wise, though regretful decision to allow Mr. Spock to lead the away teams. Many Captains in the fleet divide authority between their second in command and themselves, but it has always been a personal decision if the Captain is healthy. I have no choice. I have to follow Star Fleet orders. It took all the pull and connections Spock and I had just to keep me in command of the Enterprise.
"There was one other condition headquarters insisted upon as well. Since James T. Kirk has so many enemies who would like nothing better than to take advantage of this 'situation' of mine, Star Fleet has insisted my crew and I address me by the body's birth name Janice Lester when non-crewmembers are present.
"Star Fleet has spread the word that Janice was finally cured a few years ago and been promoted to temporary command while Captain Kirk takes a well deserved vacation in an isolated and private location. To me it is an embarrassment, a further loss of my identity, but they consider it a preventative measure.
"It looks like Janice will achieve her deluded desires after all. Janice Lester will be the captain of the Starship Enterprise for the immediate future. Unlike the mad goal Janice intended, a woman will be a Star Fleet Captain.
"DespiteLester's best efforts, the person in command of the Enterprise will continue to be James T. Kirk."

That's all for this episode, folks!
(Maybe the whole story of the five-year voyage will be told now that we know why Star Fleet and NBC really shut down all further information after the Turnabout Intruder adventure. Time will tell...)
