<u><b>Lt. Cmdr. Michael Bell - Astrogator's Log - 08/20/2399</b></u><br /><br />Arrived on board the William Logan today and got aquanted with my astrogation station on the bridge. I'll have to say the new StarTech Astro-3030 station is definitely a step up from the old 3015 model on my last assignment. The huge holo nav display is wonderful. Looks like I'll have a direct link to the Engineering deck as the new station includes a FTL Drive monitoring component as well. That will nice to be able to see those status readouts while traveling through hyperspace. When the chief engineer arrives I'll have to huddle up with him and get the rundown on the ships drives and what to expect.<br /><br />The Skipper asked me to double check the jump calcuations to Vega even though we'll be going through the new gate. Not sure if this is a test or just the old man wanting a local opinion. Either way, I'll run through the numbers and see what falls on the floor.<br /><br />Side note: I'm not sure what the captain's short form for the ship's name will be. Hopefully he'll have one as 'The William Logan' is a mouthfull. It will probably just be "The Logan". But who knows, maybe he's got a sense of humor and will call the ship "Billy".<br /><br /><b>Addendum:</b> Looks like it is "The Logan" as I expected. Much easier to say.
