I still can't quite believe it - Kris Kringle, the infamous Captain of our ship, SS Silent Night has been murdered. Serves the bastard right! I don't think anyone actually liked him, who would? He seemed to be angry with everyone. In a way it's good he's dead. I don't know how but the last conversation I had with him, was Kris telling me that he found out I had been dishonorably discharged from Starfleet. Not a single soul I work with knew that, I have no idea how he got hold of this information. I was happy to do engineering for the Silent Night, but he had to ruin it. He had blackmailed me with the new found information he had to do an illegal deal for him in the future to, what could I say but yes? I didn't have any other choice.

I know the crew aboard Vanguard are going to be investigating the murder. Why wouldn't they? For one they've rounded up all the crew and kept them with Marines. We are all suspects. All prisoners until proven innocent. I know that if they look into my history they will see that I got discharged, information I didn't want anyone to know. As long as they don't know Kris found out about that piece information, they should have no reason to suspect me. But if Kris kept details...then I know I will become a major suspect, I will have to fight my case and tell them all I know. If I cooperate then it should all be okay.

I get on with all the crew from the Silent Night, so I hope they are all being kept well under the supervision of Vanguard's Marines. I was looking forward to going onto the Promenade, word has it, it's one of the best for a while. Now I may never be able to visit it. What I would do to go back a week when everything was normal, life was easy. I would happily go back...
