First officers log

Over the last twelve hours, there has been so many things going on, being informed of a massive attack being planned, involving six armitage class starships, and hundreds of fighters. Being reassigned to another ship to lead a mission, only to be needed back on the Tokyo while en route to mission.

The mission is now being taken care of by our new chief security officer, and though I have utmost trust in his abilities. Being part of that, would have been something to remember. But now I am being tasked with an even bigger task.

With Captain Aisaka being out of commission, and her life in peril, on the way to starbase, its up to me to fill her shoes, both as Commanding Officer of this ship, and of the task force, she has put together as well.

The ship, I have taken brief command of before as first officer, but to command it on this magnitude... its a big move, its a big ask. All eyes are on me. My career, can be made, or broken with what transpires here. The fate of the fleet often comes down to the Commander of said fleet.

Its not that I distrust myself, my abilities I have never doubted. But its the fact, I have big shoes to fill. The Captains experience dealing with such things, are much more than mine. I no doubt have been entrusted for this position due to the captains faith in my abilities, as well as starfleets. Given my experience with the Iconians, being much more thorough than many of the others. Having experienced time with them for an extended period of time.

This is my time, as my brother would say. A time where all eyes are on me, to determine the fate of not only mine, but the crew.
