Reassignment

So I passed phase 12 a couple days ago. Yeah. Thrills. No more kidding myself about being young. At least Queiba Command ordered an overhaul of CENT-COM, our newly named central computer network. Hopefully they'll add progress indicators. But I seriously doubt it, what with the levels of incompetency going around these days. Maybe I'll just pick up a rock tablet and etch everything into it. It would be so much less hassle.

So my command was pulled. Again. They said it was temporary pending investigation of my alleged insubordinate altitude. Bah. Never got it back. Went back home, wrote a replacement CENT-COM server package for my own benefit, read every book in my library, and finally called up Command. Apparently my C.O. completely forgot that I existed. See if I ever work from home again. In the mean-time, they had the Qlaque shifted to control of a new Commander. Rumors say that it's Vurr, Command's new up-and-coming star officer. Without a ship to command, I've been reassigned to a development station to develop new software. Apparently my computer has been bugged and some bigwig caught wind of CENT-COM-ng. I give whoever pulled that off some points for skill; my kernel must have been patched because there were no rogue processes, and system checksums came back OK.

Bah. Being a ship Commander was getting boring anyway. Still, I'm not a formally trained software engineer; it was just a hobby. I hope I still get to fly.

-(Former) Commander Nemulo

About me

I am Commander Nemulo of the Qlaque, a grade-2 light cruiser meant primarily for light patrolling of the border. Note the word "meant". Not "used". Important distinction there that is lost on my superiors. But I digress.
I am cynical and have no patience for stupidity. I'm a member of the Qrab political system, and fully support their doings and conspiracies.
This blog is the story of my "ship" and my crew on our mission to do whatever my hare-brained superiors (with all due respect) request.
