Editing Salid's Personal Log

Captain's Log Stardate 2408.04.25 0800 hours. 

We're now ten days into our trip along the Subspace  river terminus designated the Tau Sigma Flow. Our  mission is one of exploration, a task which the crew  and I alike are ready to undertake with a great deal  of enthusiasm.

The specifics of our mission are to explore an area  immediately  beyond the terminus of the Subspace  River in a section of unexplored space named the  Beltanis Nursery. 

An unmanned probe has managed to identify the  specific signals necessary to 'open' the Tau Sigma  Flow branch and this has allowed star fleet command  to dispatch us to begin a detailed survey of the  region.

This is an exciting opportunity for us, as the  Nursery will allow us an unprecedented opportunity to  learn about the natural formation of not only stellar  bodies, but planetary systems and planets as well.

The Nursery is a massive area, and is filled with  dozens of stars in various stages of formation, some  already supporting early solar systems.

Never, to my knowledge, has there been such an  opportunity to study so many various stages of  stellar formation within a single area of space. I  suspect that dozens of questions will be answered and  hundreds new posed as a result of our survey in this  sector.

The sense of exploration that appealed to me as a  young man, has been rekindled and I am anxiously  awaiting our arrival to begin our quest for  knowledge. likewise the sense of excitement is  tangible among the crew and morale has never been  higher. With our projected arrival to the terminus in  just under an hour, I find it only fitting that the  Rosenante, a ship initially designed for war, should  finally be allowed to pursue a more peaceful role in  expanding the frontiers of science and fanning the  burning passions of exploration.
