Captain's Log Stardate 0108.20 USS Guadalcanal, Mizar Sector

Captain's Log, Stardate 0108.20. Captain Murphy recording. One of the more
frustrating aspects of the space/time compression is the fact that according
to the ship's chronometer, we've just spent the last eleven days crossing a
sector that we should have done in two. There is no other measurable side
effect, and Starbase 621 advises that Starfleet monitoring stations show
that we haven't lost any time in our pursuit of the rogue planet designated
Xena.

Sargon showed his face as we passed through the Mizar system, which boasts
five stars. We launched a long term observation probe to monitor the unique
properties of that system. I wouldn't mind having the opportunity to stick
around and do a full scientific survey. Maybe next time. After all, the
mission we're on came about because we happened upon Xena during the search
for the missing convoy. Who knows what we'll find if we get a chance to come
back to Mizar.
