Personal Log of Leonard McCoy, Year Three

by Avirra

Third year into the log of the CMO of the good ship Enterprise. The T rating is for the occasional profanity/situations. Goal is 366 entries of 100 words each plus an index. Year complete. Look for Year Four coming soon. SPOILER WARNING : Star Trek Beyond has been incorporated into this storyline.

I can't believe how much excitement is going through the ship over what Jim is calling our second field day extravaganza. We're going to have to keep our eyes out for potential planets to have shore leave on since we won't see another Starbase until near the end of our mission.

Whether Starfleet Command knew it or not, Jim was the perfect Captain for a long-range mission like this. He has a good feel for the overall mood of the ship and knows when to loosen the reins some to let folks breathe.
