Captain Kestra Grax

Well, my second class of Cadets has graduated and it is certainly a time of change. My XO, Commnader Daniel Lerner, is moving on to his own Command on USS Typhoon A. I am welcoming Commander Jim Hosick in his place. My CNS Lt. Cmdr Arun is leaving and Lt. Cmdr RJ Empson is replacing him. It will indeed be a time of adjustment for both the Cadets and I.

It really is bittersweet with me with Dan leaving. He was XO when I first joined the Challenger as CO in March 2008 and he showed me the ropes and made my first Academy command a success.

Captains Log Stardate 05100.8 : The pleasantrys of the graduation are over, we have a new crew compliment joing them was my new first officer, she seems the type to just get on with the job but time will tell what other qualities she possess's , our new counselor which already has had the chance to analyse me which im not sure if its a good or bad thing yet and our new Chief Of Secrity , im abit concerned as to how the crew will deal with his physical faults, but he seems at ease with it himself which is always a good sign.
