Quarantine Files Day #1

Captains Log:

April 24th, Year 2020, Day 1 of Covid-19 Quarantine.

10:00 Captains Log: Bad news has hit, as the Captain of the Home vessel I have heard chatter of an outbreak and have been informed a crew member of a sister vessel is having “virus like symptoms” and has recently engaged in missions with one of our crew members, an investigation is pending. This.Captain.is.now.on.high.alert.

11:00 Captains Log: Fears have been confirmed, this Captain has been informed by the medic symptoms are confirmed. I am being inundated with a verbal barrage of profanity by several of my crew members. I must leave Vessel Courtyard and am beaming to Home Vessel, I will be taking personal stake in this to avoid anarchy and mayhem. Order.will.prevail.

13:00 Captains Log: I have begun a sanitizing mission to reduce the spread of contamination. My uniform is discolored from bleach, my hands cracked and dry, I am covered in PPE, the mask making me light headed from my own hungry breath. I.Must.Continue.On!

14:00 Captains Log: Sanitizing mission was in vain. Besides a clean commode for my backside, this Captain and his crew have been informed we must isolate. Quarantine.is.eminent.

15:00 Captains Log: I inform my General and explorer crew on the Vessel Courtyard I am in quarantine. I do this with sorrow as we forged together into areas unknown, focusing on the final frontier, they will need to lead the course. I.will.return.as.their.leader.stronger.and.hopefully.not.fatter.

17:00 Captains Log: Mess Hall: YES! PIZZA!!

20:00 Captains Log: I find myself in unfamiliar surroundings. I am supposed to be in control but find myself pondering my next move. I reach for a 3rd glass of wine and realize, I have had enough, I must prepare my quarters. I rummage through a utility room and find an inflatable mattress. This will make for a fine slumber away from the comfort of my regular Captains suite. My.mind.and.body.are.weary.

23:00 Captains Log: Luckily I feel slumber overtaking me. I was worried my days of past and new predicament would prevent me from sleeping. I am relaxed and comfortable…what, what’s that noise? Who’s, who’s out there? I fear I’m not alone…HELLO? HELLO? I will resume my report shortly. I.Fear.I.Am.Danger…!
