Captain's Log - Stardate 2262.577
Commander Paris asked to speak with me, so I agreed to meet over lunch. The topic of discussion was the ISS Essex and what's going to become of it. She was assuming, quite correctly, that I will keep the Essex. She has no qualms about that, but wanted to consult with me over the official story that will be sent to Imperial Starfleet.
We agree that sticking to close to the actual truth is best. The ISS Essex attempted to dock with an unknown disease onboard and was destroyed to protect the station.
