[Will Banowsky]

Mission: Murder on the Exeter Express
Day: 2
Stardate: 2445.12.02

(USS Exeter – Gym, weight room – CO, Captain Trip Williams – 2115)

Trip was frustrated, but there wasn't much he could do. He was responsible
for a full ship, so while he wanted to put all his focus on catching the
murderers, he also had to focus on every aspect of the ship. There had been
a few broken holodecks, a sick CMO, three crewman had an accident during an
ice skating holoprogram, Ensign McGillicuty broke up with Ensign Locarno,
which followed with Ensign Locarno slapping Ensign McGillicuty across the
face. Security had to break that one up. He trusted his senior staff to
handle the big things. It was just frustrating that he had to be more hands
off than he would like to be.

He was also worried about his command staff. They were running on fumes and
he was worried about them suffering from burnout. He wish he could just
say, hey take the next 3 hours off, sleep. But he knew that wasn't the
right call. He was frustrated, he was angry, and he needed to let off some
steam. Trip knew what could help, and that was by hitting the weight room.
He was dressed in his standard PT gear and walked over to the bench press.
He placed 300 lbs on the bench and activated a hologram spotter to help,
just in case. Though Trip knew that at this weight, as long as he didn't do
anything stupid, he could easily do at least 4 sets of 10.

He laid down on the bench and lifted the bar up and began doing reps. He
was frustrated. One. He wanted clarity. Two. He wanted his command staff to
be able to sleep. Three. He was worried about their burnout. Four. He
needed to talk to Ronnie. Five. He didn't know how to open that
conversation with her. Six. How do you be dad to your daughter from an
alternate future. Seven. Who was your same age. Eight. While also catching
a murderer. Nine. Who could be anyone on his ship. Ten.

Trip racked the weight and sat up. As the endorphins began moving and he
could feel the adrenaline began to run through his body, he was still
frustrated. But at least he still had 3 more sets to try and work it out.
