Stardate 1010.01

Well, I'm back. It's just so wonderful. I'm sitting here in my ready room (wow! I can actually accurately say that again!), and I'm wondering why I ever quit. Resigned. Same thing. Oh, wait...I know why...because everyone on the ship was frustrating me (ugh...I have to use big words again)! They did everything from be Neelixie to the classic green wig! I guess I was just having an off day. I'm surprised someone didn't think of pouring iced coffee all over me when I was on my way from my quarters to the bridge! Yeesh! The attitude some people suddenly manage to gain when you don't have a rank! Anyway...as soon as I became captain again, we were met by- you know it- the Borg. Seven wasn't too thrilled. Her transponder reactivated and she turned all schizophrenic again and so we had to restrained her and put her in stasis because the Borg were trying to get her to put Voyager on self-destruct and she was quickly becoming a serious security risk. Contrary to popular belief, we'd prefer not to die before the day's out. Back to the Borg, though. Obviously they didn't assimilate us, or I wouldn't be here right now. But we're half dead, does that count? A few dozen cubes and a couple of spheres? Nothing I can't handle. Oh...except when they surround us from all sides. Then I know that we're officially, for lack of a more accurate adjective, screwed. I fired multiple torpedoes at two of the cubes so that we had a way to get out of there. The two main reasons I hate the Borg: the collective mind...it frustrates me! Especially tertiary vessels, I mean, scout ships are bad enough, but they have to have tertiary as well! Jeez! The whole hive mind thing, where they can communicate with each other at warp speed...on a tertiary vessel, that's almost always fatal. What can I say? We got lucky. And two: trans-warp capabilities. I mean, warp ten is cool...if you're the person who has it! Otherwise it's like sitting around and waiting for a Q knowing full well that the Q knows that you're waiting for him. Ugh! Okay, getting back to what happened though. We got away with minimal damages (translation: they took half the ship's systems offline) and I yelled for Q who came more than willingly (Ha! Jean-Luc Picard could never do that). q came with him. They then hid us in the continuum so we could repair damages to the ship's systems. The continuum was great...how could it not be? It was Earth! Well, we're back on course now. I convinced Q to drop us off at the edge of the Alpha Quadrant (oh, you have no idea how much I hate Starfleet for sending us to the Beta Quadrant. What, are we an experimental crew or something? I can see it now- how long can a crew survive in a non Starfleet-infested area?), so we're halfway home. Admiral Paris and Lieutenant Barkley will be pleased. I don't know about the rest of those people. I've been decorated like twice already, not counting my upgrade ceremonies and things, so I seriously doubt they'll do another one for me. What about B'Elanna? Maybe. Harry? Would it be humanly possible for them to skip him? Tom? Definitely. Me? No. That'd be kind of embarrassing to tell my grandkids. Although it'd probably be one of those little things that people skip. Yes, that's it. I just wouldn't tell them. I think I'm going to go unwind now on the holodeck. Coffee in Buenos Aires? Yes, I think so. I think I'll get the Doctor to go with me. Resistance is futile. Oops...what did I just say? Never mind. Too much of the Borg can do this to you.
