The Casual returned home for repairs last week after the ill-conceived "Race around the Rings" competition. Participants were given the helm and scored on how fast they could pilot the Casual around the rings of Alpha Crucis IV. It made for an exciting series of time trials.

   The contest Saw a variety of flying styles; from the "Blind Drunk" navigation to the "Piloting while having unnatural acts performed upon your body" maneuver.

   The winner was Party Marine XO Bizarro with his "Push buttons at random and see what happens" style. The damage occurred when Captain Bizarro careened off one of the ring particles at full impulse. The collision deflected the Casual onto the precise course needed for Bizarro to beat the other competitors' times by a full minute.

   As we reported in the Casual Observer on 19902.09, Commodore Erickson and now Ambassador Sulleven were misplaced some eighty years in the past. They were able to return to our time with the assistance of Captain Spock. The effects are still being felt thoughout the timestream.

   We have recently acquired a file from Starfleet showing how widespread these changes really are. Here a "Commodore Erickson" from Special Operations dresses down Captain Kirk for his mismanagement of the whole V'ger affair. Starfleet is conducting an inquest of their table of organization in an attempt to locate Comm. Erickson or indeed the existence of a Special Operations division.
