Captain's Blog, Cyberdate 20070408

Now over three weeks out of Federation Cyberspace, and more than a week after the realization among the crew that the United Federation of Bloggers is at war, the UCS Weblog is deep in uncharted cyberspace.

Officially assigned a mission of reconnaissance and diplomacy, the consensus among the crew is that our mission is one of scouting and surveilling a newly discovered enemy while disrupting through surprise attacks their hostile preparations against the Federation. Our hope is that as we move from battle to battle we will attract the attention of our sister ships and non-Federation cybervessels to a new enemy that is dangerous even to its de facto ally, the Morg.

The only way this enemy can be a danger to the Federation or anyone else is by hiding inside a cloak of secrecy. If widely enough exposed for what they are, nearly every civilization in the cybergalaxy will take action against them. Ironically, however, the UCS Weblog must herself remain cloaked nearly all the time as we collect intelligence on this most dangerous new foe.

Firmly convinced that nothing less than the fate of the known, inhabited universe is now at stake, the crew of the UCS Weblog is quite determined to defend not just the Federation, but all we hold dear, against the sinister, yet subtle, behind-the-scenes machinations of this shadowy enemy. Our patrol, now undoubtedly being executed under wartime conditions, has become a game of cat-and-mouse. As an added amusing twist to the situation, we are sure that we would disagree with our new enemy on one point, additional, yet critical: our perceptions of who is the cat, and who is the mouse.
