"Captain's Log supplemental: Eh, beedoobeedoobeedoo. That's all."
Captain Picard: I find myself with little time to decide the fate of forty of my crew stranded aboard the derelict Hathaway.
Chuck: (as Picard) That's why I chose now, of all times, to make a log entry. I've wanted to get that Wesley killed for so damn long, and now all I've got to do is run out the clock. Hah!

"Commence station security log, stardate 47282.5. At the request of Commander Sisko, I will hereafter be recording a daily log of law enforcement affairs. The reason for this exercise is beyond my comprehension, except perhaps that Humans have a compulsion to keep records and files — so many, in fact, that they have to invent new ways to store them microscopically. Otherwise their records would overrun all known civilization. My own very adequate memory not being good enough for Starfleet, I am pleased to put my voice into this official record of this day. Everything's under control. End log."

"Quark, signing on. To augment my official sanitation reports, I have decided to keep a diary of my adventures. Assuming of course that I have any adventures."

"Post-evacuation report of the commercial frigate Otranto. Day 458. I've been counting the rivets in the B Deck corridor. There are 28,582 rivets. That's two more than in the technical specs. I will have to tell someone when I get home."

"Captain's report-February 4th, 2531. Five years. Five long years. That's how long it took us to get Harvest back. At first, it was going well. Then setback after setback...loss after loss...made what was going to be a quick and decisive win...into five years of Hell. Of course, that's all Harvest is today...it's hell down there. But now it's ours again."

Captain Sisko: Captain's Personal Log: stardate 5-1-7... 5-1-7... 4? Computer – what day is it?
Computer: Stardate 51721.3.
Captain Sisko: It's only been two weeks... I need to talk about this. I have to justify what's happened... what I've done... at least to myself. I can't talk to anyone else... not even to Dax.
"A captain...should not be afraid. And I confess now, to whoever may hear this, that today, now, I...am experiencing fear. I must not let my crew know this. I must keep them busy. I must not let them know that the situation appears more hopeless with each passing day... Dictated by Captain Captain Mark Markary on the spaceship Argos, on the planet Aura."
