Lonesome in a station full of people. I mean, I started naming my favorite petri dishes. The doc won't let me stick googly eyes on them.

We don't really get a Spring Break, so another ensign and I put together our version of MTV Spring Break with a replica 90's South Padre Island. Morn's competing in our Beauty and the Beach contest! He's gonna win hands down.

I have to! This station is never stable.

Noooo! My lab results exploded! ;o;!!

The other ensigns have introduced me to something called Pokemon and installed it on my PADD. How am I supposed to get any work done between that and my Tamagotchi??

Spring is in the air! No, really! I was tasked with testing the ventilation for signs of allergens and mold. One mold asked for my identification first, so cheeky.

Ok Fam! I have made a Go Fund Me for us. They suggested a starting goal of $4,500.00 and working up to the 10k we need. If you cannot donate, please share! PLEASE SHARE! We were hit with the devastating news this week- gofund.me/3cb16f7f5 #gofundme #donatesky #help #donations

Nope! But I do train the voles for the Vole Olympics.

Played in snow for the first time. Well... WATER snow. Snow from other elements tickles a little too much.

The curse of being a #StarTrek fan: No picture of the Golden Gate bridge looks right without some shuttles in the sky... 😉🖖

Inspections are... different on this station. Particularly with the lab. We use what we can and on a bit of a budget because it's too expensive to replace everything that gets blown up, melted, burnt... phased into another time line... Anyway, anyone seen our inspector?

Quark's hosting a wet t-shirt contest and Morn is just blowing the competition away!

For some reason our lieutenant was up since the early morning posting up messages after message to our PADDs while out on an away mission. He called it "ship posting". I would have complained but one of the admirals with him was doing it too!

For the most part! Garak likes to bribe me with food if threats don't work but only for little things like catching voles to have them fitted for tiny suits.

I have to! Sometimes in two different languages because the lab equipment came with the station.

The kitchen is where I work out my frustrations. Garak said if I don't make his brownies exactly to his specifications he'd turn me into the finest carpet in Star Fleet. I was flattered he'd think I'd be the finest.

Quark had me on volunteer service once, but fired me for giving away too many garnishes on the mixed drinks. He said I "shouldn't accessorize EVERY drink that leaves the bar", but I want to make them PRETTY! So I'd probably end up spending way too much on glam.

My bunk and a box of cookies. 😭

They'd put me in the coliseum with the lions, so it'd be a brief life.

Age verification? I've been hit by chronitons at least a dozen times during my time in Starfleet.

They say I end up shouting more than actually singing. I can't help it, I live with a bazillion other people!

I'm not totally certain these are legit, but someone's been sticking these to the walls of the toilet stalls and around the docking bay doors. There was one even stuck on the back of Morn's head, it must have been there for weeks because it had so much hair and lint stuck with it.

Now I'm the one who has questions!

Promoted, I hope! I've got science to do!

Does crying for 30 days count as coping?

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

I promise I'd never do it again!

Everything is mismatched on this station. You find out why very quickly because it will typically blow up every other week. We have betting pools now on which part blows up next.

No, I don't cry in the sonic shower. I cry in the Jefferies tubes. Sorry if you thought it was haunted.

My alarm is other ensigns crawling over or rolling off the sides of the bunks and it's not quiet. That's usually enough to wake me up. You don't join Starfleet for a good night's sleep!

Why are there never enough cookies on this station?

I am often only as good as my equipment. Science instruments are essentially an extension of myself. As a person, I'll try my damnedest!

Not me! I prefer being on the station. I just got here!

I hope so! Or I won't get any lab results entered in!

Nope! o^o Unless curling into a ball and crying is a good tactic!

People ask me often why I am working in hydroponics. The answer is that replicated food can't take the place of a really good sauce or soup made from grown food. I mean, if I'm going to eat bits of the recirculated elements on the station, I'd rather some of it be sun ripened first.

I'm afraid to ask who put this in my lab result box. @m@!!

I'm sorry at whoever I hissed at on movie night! ;o;! I had no idea it was a horror film loaded with jump scares. I keep my nails filed for a reason!

We tried bowling for the first time with a real alley instead of a holodeck one. Are the pins supposed to gain sentience or was that a fluke?

It was potluck in the mess hall this evening. I'm not the best at cooking from scratch. Apologies if anyone got any of the cookies I baked. I ran out of chocolate chips and just broke up bits of random candy I got for the holidays. It's good luck if you find the little toy Zefram Cochrane in one!

There was another hot dog eating contest at Quark's again this evening. They had to make special categories this time, otherwise Morn just trounces everyone in seconds!

My PADD has added a feature to "Go Live". I thought that's what I was already doing! OnO??

The Klingon ambassador sent me another recipe. I told him I can't legally make the recipe intended for "honorable death by flavor".

We convinced our lieutenant to let us turn part of the lab into a test kitchen so we can have recipe challenges with Engineering. So far it doesn't matter what we cook, inevitably there's hot sauce.

New Year, new me! I'm getting a patch of skin regrown because old lab equipment likes to spice up the relationship! ;3;

Welcome to the New Year! #StarTrek

Some of the other Ensigns are making up Terran New Year's resolutions for kicks. I can't really make resolutions like "I will not chemically burn off my eyebrow whiskers." because that's not always my choice to make!
