Seleya’ s Personal Log Star Date: 95647.96 By Grace Gunning
Cardasians, Cardasians! All they seem to do is wreak havoc in The Federation. All they want to do is fight- I was fuming! And I really don’ t do that often … You know how Vulcans are anyway( Batazoids don’ t do that either). This morning something wasn’ t right; I could just sense it. So, I said,“ Computer, locate captain Jean-Luc Picard.” It replied in its customary tone,“ Captain Jean-luc Picard is not on board.” I decided to check it out myself. I had a theory,“ If the captain isn’ t on board, I bet the rest of the crew isn’ t either.” To confirm, I checked out sickbay to see if the crew was there. Someone’ s got to be there. As I thought,“ They’ re always there,” I saw no one. They’ re gone. But to be absolutely sure, I went to the bridge. I bet someone’ s there. Not the crew though... on the bridge I found... Cardasians. I, for one, am glad that my parents usually carry phasers, and that they had an extra just in case. The captain( the Cardasians who took control of the ship) noticed me.
“ What are you doing here you little...” then he said other mean things which I will not share here to keep this log clean. So, if anyone were to read this, they would be spared of his horrid insults.
“ I can sense your emotions, so this does not come to me as a surprise.”
“ Oh really?” said the Cardasian.
“ And by the way, I have this phaser set to kill,” I said( which was true).

“ Ha! You think a little girl is going to stop me?” the Cardasian said, proud of himself.“ Now where is the crew?” I said harshly.“ I am afraid I don’ t know,” the Cardasian said sweetly.“ Oh you most certainly DO know, and it is illogical for you to play puny little games with me, as you can see it does not work,” I said.“ I will not tell, not you,” the Cardasian said meanly.“ I am prepared to fire this phaser if necessary. Today will be a very bad day for your people... so tell me what I want to know, or I’ ll find out.”“ A Cardasian does not crack! Your attempts are useless.”“ Then perhaps I shall try another method...”
“ Computer end program,” said my Dad.“ Aww, Dad I was just getting to the good part!”“ No buts, Seleya, time for bed.”“ Alright, Goodnight Holodeck.”
