I've been far too busy to log for several reasons. First, the Federation governor who is replacing us showed up, unannounced. We had to scramble to finish his accomodations, with him breathing over us at every turn. Second, I've had my hands full with the change-over in Operations personnel. I've always run an informal, yet disciplined Operations division. I've told my people that I'm not a stickler for pomp and circumstance as it screws with efficiency. We have to abide by the "Rocks and Shoals" but not in order to sacrifice the smooth Operation of our post. Evidently, that's not so with this crew. His every move is coordinated, planned for and attended by everyone not otherwise occupied. I've seen full rank Admirals that don't rate retinues as large as the one that follows the governor around. However, everyone that I've talked to unanimously that they wouldn't work for anyone else. He may be a pompous buffoon, but evidently he takes care of his people. I don't get it but, then again no one asked me. As far as the actual transfer goes, the techs that have been sent to man Operations both here and on Pleiades seem to know their business. The handover should go off without a hitch, provided the governor is distracted during the bulk of the proceedings.
