Aaaand closed. Winner will be announced in a moment.

And the winner is...
With the entry:
"First I immediately would change the course towards Earth. Once my ship reached transporter range, I would beam to the brig all recalcitrant IP & Copyright holders that don't want to deal with GOG, and send my loyal Vulcan crew to perform mind-melds with the noble purpose of changing their erroneous beliefs. After this, they would be beam back to the planet.

Those few Earthlings immune to mind-meld would suffer an unfortunate group accident (a fortuitous depressurization in the cargo bay). Then would come the turn of negotiating with their replacements in the same way. Rinse and repeat until all obstacles to my noble task had been solved.

This done, I would leave for an epic mission of five years, with the holodeck well stocked with the full catalog of GOG, not bored any time..."

The Captain's Log of Roderick Mathewson (first entry):

"Finally the day has come! Little did I imagine, a few days ago, the adventure that was about to undertake...

But the dream cherished since I got my hands on what little remained of the ship's Log of Captain Frederick Stevenson will become reality. This journal is one of the few documents have survived -although fragmentary- that dark period of history known as "The Fall of the Federation")

Today I am leaving with a ship identical to the one Captain Stevenson used so many years ago. I hope to find enough clues to track him down and find out what happened to him and his crew. I have hope that my project will be crowned with success and shed some more light on the events of that turbulent period...

And I owe it all to my kindly sponsors on the Galactic History Society, Gazoinks and Starmaker."
