			SHIP'S LOG 9702-9704

* It is with heavy heart that I announce the recent passing away of T'Ra's 
Mother.  

Words can not express the sorrow that we all feel.  Know that you and your 
family are in our thoughts and if there is anything you need, remember your 
friends are here for you.

* Kalabra recently fell victim to a serious illness and we almost lost our 
only chocolate officer.  We are glad she is making a tremendous comeback and 
recovery.  Good chocolate officers are hard to come by.

* Commendations go to all the fine cooks of the Conquest for their delectable 
contributions to the February meeting.  

*  Special commendation goes to Lt Kalabra for her efforts above and beyond 
the call of duty.  Cooking not only the main dish, but making her first 
contribution of chocolate as the chocolate officer, plus putting together 
the salad.  All this was done under the adverse conditions with a power 
failure.

* Commendation also goes to Corp RamyoD for his contribution of Godzilla
movies to round out the evening.


* Crystal Dagger's Anniversary dinner was attended by Cmdr Kade and Lt Cmdr 
Krump.  Besides being a good time and seeing old friends again many ideas 
were hashed out on the journey.  Ideas also came from other groups that will 
add to the Conquest experience.

* March 20th the command staff met and discussed some future issues and 
projects.  A couple of the ideas tossed about are an educational library 
program designed to promote science and reading through science fiction.  
And second, compile a chocolate cook book.  The proceeds would go to
charity.  Anyone interested in either of these projects see Cmdr Kade.

* On Feb 28-Mar 2nd K'Zar, QIghpej and Kalabra attended Astronomicon in 
Rochester.  It sounds like they had a good time.

* Mar 9th QIghpej and K'Dok were the Conquest representitives at the Rochester
 Con.  

* April 4-6 Krump and Kade went to Bablecon in Pittsburgh.  The creator of 
the Klingon language, Marc Okrand was the guest.

* April 4-6 was also the Toy and Collectable show in Lockport.  QIghpej, 
Kalabra, K'Zar and RamyoD represented the Conquest.

* April 6, John Delancy was in Buffalo.  Obertin was the only crewman able 
to attend.

WORDS FROM THE ra'wI'
