Journal 12/28/12

I wrapped things up on the Ideal and headed back to Gulf today. Mostly just paperwork stuff, and a few disciplinary matters. One crew member drunk on duty, couple cases of petty theft, and one case of assault on duty. That last is pretty serious, and none of it is a lot of fun to deal with, of course.

It's important to maintain discipline, though. Particularly on a ship like the Ideal where months of inactivity can be interrupted by a few hours where everyone has to do their job perfectly or put the whole ship in danger.

Sometimes I do feel like the town magistrate in one of those Frontiers holos.
