Captain Valerie Kirk, reporting for 77/2551.
Start-up sequence ... complete. After everything she's been through. The old girl still runs. Who'da thought she'd outlast me?

Hands are shaking. Injury isn't healing right. Odds of getting anywhere without Nav. Mod. are a trillion to one. If I have to die, then I'm going out on my own terms. In case I don't make it, the code is 83759.
This is my last log. I don't expect to survive. But I'm feeling lucky today.
