The contents of the Ship Logs are considered to be a "compilation" under the provisions of Title 17, U.S. Code (known as the Copyright Act): that is, "A work formed by the collection and assembling of preexisting materials or of data that is selected, coordinated or arranged in such a way that the resulting work as a whole constitutes an original work of authorship." As such, it is the property of the ship’s Captain; however, automatic transfer of ownership to STARSHIPS OF THE THIRD FLEET is effected upon publication of this mission by the ship’s Captain ipso facto.

As outlined in Circular 1 (Copyrighted Basics, Library of Congress, Washington DC, USGPO 1989-262-309/12), "copyrighted in each separate contribution to a periodical or other collective work is distinct from the copyright in the collective work as a whole and vests initially with the author of the contribution."

This mission may not be reproduced in any form without the express, written authorization of STARSHIPS OF THE THIRD FLEET.

Prologue

Captain’s Log:

There is a lot of tension aboard ship. We’ve had several fisticuffs and some have been placed in the brig for disobeying orders from a superior. My crew is tired and over worked and a shore leave is most welcomed. The battle with the Jirzzaques took its toll and I, myself, am looking forward to getting off ship for awhile and on sound land. Admiral Daniel Evans has been kind enough to grant a month R&R for my crew while the PHOENIX is under repairs and restocked.

I have just finished the last communication to the family of lost crewmembers. It’s one of the hardest duties I must fulfill. It saddens me greatly and I miss my fellow crewmates.

My plans are to take Jade on an outing on Enya. She needs to be out of her cage and get some sunshine and exercise. In fact I need the same thing. I look forward to roaming some country spots and maybe a bit of horseback riding. There is a cabin in the foothills that a close friend has offered for my use when I’m on leave. I think Jade and I will spend some time there.
