Revision as of 18:15, 19 December 2006

The Personal log of Donald Varley was recorded during his service aboard the USS Yamato. Several entries were made in 2365. They were later reviewed by Captain Jean-Luc Picard where his search parameter was limited to entries containing the words "Romulan" and "Iconia". (TNG: "Contagion")

While Picard requested "Captain Donald Varley's personal log," the computer display read "Access File • Captain's Log • USS Yamato • NCC 71807" and included entries from Commander Steven Gerber and Lieutenant Commander Beth Woods.
