Captain's log - Stardate 2261.096

Suspicions confirmed. Admiral Christopher Pike is at the starbase we'll be arriving at tomorrow. Inspection tour at the Emperor's behest? I wonder if anyone seriously believes that.

Plus side, this will make my plans for Professor Crater easier to follow through on. Negative side, it might over-complicate the situation with Gem. I'm about to fill Bones and Spock in. Spock's been working well with me, but if he shows signs of greater allegiance to Chris than to me, I'll leave him at the starbase and appoint another First.
