Personal log, Brad Boimler

The personal log of Brad Boimler contained log entries kept while he served in Starfleet.

Boimler's pretend captain's log. (LD: "Second Contact")

• "Captain's log, stardate 57436.2. The Cerritos is docked at Douglas Station for routine maintenance and resupply. We will soon set course for the capital planet on the Galar system, where we're scheduled to make second contact with the Galardonian High Council. First contact is a delicate, high-stakes operation of diplomacy. One must be ready for anything when Humanity is interacting with alien race for the first time. But we don't do that. Our specialty is second contact. Still pretty important. We get all the paperwork signed, make sure we're spelling the name of the planet right, get to know all the good places to eat."

Boimler's reaction to the new protocol. (LD: "Temporal Edict")

• "Personal log: I've completed all of today's assignment's ahead of schedule, and I have requested more. Space: the funnest frontier?"

Around Mixtus III. (LD: "Cupid's Errant Arrow")

• "Ensign Boimler, personal log, stardate 57601.3. The Cerritos is in orbit around Mixtus III to assist in a controlled demolition of an unstable moon. We're providing support to the Vancouver, a Parliament-class ship which focuses on complex large-scale engineering projects."

• "… So the moon's decaying orbit could cause catastrophic blah blah blah blah blah– okay, okay, the real news is I get to have lunch with the coolest, smartest officer in Starfleet, Barbara Brinson, who also happens to be muh girlfriend! That's right! We met a month ago, and it's just been magical!"

Boimler often re-recorded the captain's logs into his own personal logs. After the crew was grounded following the arrest of Captain Carol Freeman and repairs on the Cerritos, Boimler, Mariner, Rutherford and Tendi diverted a replica Phoenix to the drydock to retrieve Boimer's logs he kept on a PADD near his bunk. After they arrived on the Cerritos, where he found entries going back to stardate 58018.7, which included the following entries… (LD: "Grounded")

• "The Cerritos is en route to the Laapeerian system to assist the Archimedes in a first contact. Oh, and I think I heard Ransom say my name today. He might've said "Boiler," but still, name recognition! Oh, my God!"

Log 1122.90487

• Log 1122.90487: "Got caught sniffing the captain's chair again."

• "The alien atmosphere is giving me insane gas."

• "Got to be better about hiding my purple hair dye. Nobody knows my real hair color is…"

• "…dropped my tricorder in the toilet again."
