2. Hello everyone Mystery here. So you are all probably wondering what’s
the deal? Well see my old lappy died. All my other stories went
Kaplooee. Yeah. Bummer. From what I hear I’m not alone which is one
small comfort, I guess.
So anyway I decided to try another challenge. This time I’m trying my
hand at an ISBI. Yep I’m nuts. As of right now we’re going for 5
generations, but we’ll see if I feel up to going longer.
Alrighty then let’s meet our first torch holder! Mysha Bowman
3. Stardate 2197: It’s official starfleet hates me. They tossed me through some
temporal rift thing into another universe/dimension….whatever. So maybe I did
“cheat” on all my exams at the academy. I mean how many women did Captain
Kirk “date”. You didn’t see him get tossed through strange portals.
I personally believe this is in violation of protocol 2671, but I guess there’s not
much I can do about it now. I’m stuck in this Belladona Cove gathering
information for the rest of my life. Great.
4. Captain’s personal log: I’ve been living on the streets of Belladona for
nearly 3 weeks. Apparently it’s customary to live in an apartment on this
planet. And there must be something in the water because I swear these
natives are insane. I’m drinking my own water.
However, I’ve convinced a native Rosemary to rent me a small apartment
on the east side of town.
5. Like I said there must be something in the water around here. These
people talk out of their heads 90 percent of the time. My universal
translator can barely make sense of them. At least they seem friendly
enough.
6. I’m doing my best to fit in with the locals as much as possible. I attend the
weekly social events. I’ve also been checking out books from the local
library, translating them, and then reading up on local customs and
history. This insanity must have been going on for a while because all of
their newer books are total gibberish.
7. All in all things are going relatively well. Other than I have no idea
how long Starfleet intends to leave me here.

8. Stardate 2197.2 I suppose an update on my progress is in order. My
translator is still having trouble making sense of things around here. This
language here is complete gibberish! Still no idea how much longer I’m
stuck here.
9. Still despite the difficulties I’m managing to have a bit of fun every
now and then.
11. This has led to some complications. I guess getting home will have to wait. I don’t want to
put the baby in danger. Would Starfleet consider this breaking rules. Well to hell with
them. I’ll be taking my child home whether they like it or not.
On another note, I took a job down at one of the local buildings known as a coffee shop.
Apparently these sims still use currency for trade. Something called a simoleon. Well, I’ll
need them to pay the bills and to feed and clothe my child.
12. I also recently mastered the local dance known as break-dancing. A
Breakdancer..yes that’s his name…or at least the translator kept
telling me that was his name….whatever. Breakdancing is fun. I’m
keeping it tame right now. Don’t want to risk hurting the baby.

13. Stardate 2197.3 Makoto and I are still seeing each other. I
don’t mind really. Sure he’s out of his mind, but he is the father
of my little girl.
14. I haven’t introduced him to Kes yet, but he seems to understand we
have a child together. He keeps asking about her whenever we
meet up in the lobby.
15. It’s funny this motherhood thing hasn’t been so bad. It’s even been
fun at times.
16. I really dislike leaving Kes home with a nanny most of the time. But I’m never
going to figure out how to get us out of here unless I head out into this strange
land and explore. I need to get my com systems to work!
Rosemary suggested a possible nanny. So far according to the nanny cam I
installed she’s doing okay. She spends A LOT of time in the pool, but she’s been
feeding and changing Kes regularly so I guess she’s alright.
17. Sanjay Ramaswami said he’d be willing to help me unwind after work.
Gotta say that will be nice.

My little girl is growing up so fast! She and her nanny get along great. I’m a little
concerned about the constant radioactive glowing, but this special formula is part
of the custom around here. I’m still bound to follow the prime directive while I’m
here. One because I know Starfleet would lock me up once I got home…never
mind this whole thing was THEIR fault. And 2 I’d rather the demented aliens stay
friendly.
19. The nanny even cooks dinner every night. Granted some of
this local cuisine is just awful. (Especially the stuff she
usually cooks) But some of it’s not half bad.
20. Kes does seem to be learning incredibly fast though. I guess this
radioactive formula is good for them? Or maybe it increases the likely hod
of them all going nuts? I hope not.
There has been another complication to my plans. I guess I really should
stop the late night outings after work, but a girl’s gotta unwind right?
21. Kes really does look a lot like her father, and she loves music as
much as I do. I also think Makoto likes music as well. I realized last
weekend that he’s a lounge singer.
22. And honestly I think I’m settling into life in Belladona Cove. I
never thought I’d say this, but I think I’ll really miss this place if
I ever leave. Even though she’s always got this creepy smile
on her face, Karin and I get along really well.
23. I finally introduced Makoto to Kes. The two got along just fine. I have to
say the old guy has grown on me. I never thought I’d want to get
married, but I’ve realized that I want to spend my life with Makoto. He
said yes, and we moved into a larger apartment together.

24. Stardate 2197.5
Makoto and I are officially married now, and I’m not really too
keen on figuring out how to go home anymore. How could I leave
my family?
26. And this is honestly the only world my little girl has ever known. I can’t just
tear her and my unborn baby away from this place if they really don’twant
to leave. And really what do I have to look forward to back there anyway?
So what if I lose my mind when I get older. Better to die happy right?

27. So that’s where I’ll leave you folks. For now. Here’s a little info on our lovely founder Mysha
Bowman.
Mysha Bowman:
Romance Sim (LTW 20 Lovers)
Leo
Turn-on’s Fitness and Full Face make-up. Turn off: Zombies
28. Also if you haven’t guessed I’m using a Star Trek name scheme
for this ISBI. The first member of our family is Kes named after
the Ocampa from Star Trek Voyager. Her OTH is music and
dance, but other than that I don’t know too much about this
lovely lady. See ya soon.
