Mayday Comms from the Brig (satire)

Admiral, this message come to you via an old subspace channel we used to use in the academy. I just hope Lt Riker is manning the comms when it reaches you - he will surely now of it, based on his escapades at the academy!
Hope all is well on the battle front! I know the crew will be doing their best carry the extra workload in these interesting times. Do keep an eye on Ensign Sato, she has tendency to not compete her daily tasks.
The brig at Starfleet Command is functional & comfortable. I have yet to receive my rations, although I very much doubt the current command structure will be adhering to regulations as we know them.
I have not been interrogated yet and am using the idle time to practice my Vulcan Meditation to build ability to resist their questions.
I will attempt further communication every so often - although I have no way of knowing if you are receiving these and no equipment to receive any hails from you!

20 hours into my incarceration, I have recieved no further news on the charges aginst me. I have requested communication on 8 occasions, each time taking care to ensure the request covered a seperate & specific point.
The officer recieving the requests does not wear or display rank on thier uniform - which is against federation protocol unless you are on a covert mission / section 31
I presume them to be from the diplomatic core - you know the type: smiles and nods blankly, giving the impression they are listening; but in reality they are thinking if when they can escpae to Risa again.
I tell you Admiral something is afoot - I just need more time! Oh what I would give for one of Geordi's scanners!!
And Admiral if Commander Data's tricorder malfunctions - remind him not to keep clicking the scan button!
There was no trial, just a proclomation of guilt, & a sentcing to the mines at Rura Penthe.
We were herded onto the trasnport shuttles when the uproar from the remaining active duty captains caused Starfleet to abandon thier reckless behaviour.
We were returned to our ships, ranks restored and most of our crew reinstated. However supplies and rations had been removed - the galley had been sanitized so to speak!
Most of us were just glad to have our commands back - although saddended by the unnecessary war and bloodshed. Many a captain had fallen in battle - never to been seen again - only remembered with fond memories and raised glasses.
Starfleet command had promised to restock the galleys with 2 sets of resupply caches - one via direct communication of its location and the other avilable via the Ferengi trading post near the tme portal where we were prmosied a fixed line of credit to collect our rations.
Many Captians found no such line of credit at the frengi trading post.
Starfleet command is not responding to hailing frequencies, although numerous communiques have been sent. Some captains have relayed instances of brief commications - but the news is not good - no clarifications or updates have been provided.
These are worrying times - Starfleet Command seems like its coming apart at the seams. Failing to communicate and admit its errounous ways, failing to provide promised rations and yet the expectation is that we will blindly explore the new sector of space they have opened up.....and expend our resources to test out Starfleet Commands' new expeirmental drive.
Whilst I canot speak for any other Captain - till such time as clear comms are established and assurances that were made are fulfilled, my ship & crew will not be navigating the new sector of space, nor using the new experimental drive.
Starfleet Command has descended into utter chaos.
A multitude of attempts to communicate over offical channels have been denied, citing duplication of comms. And yet the singular comms message that is deemed as unique has not been responded to
These are the supposed duplicate comms:
1. Request to clarify orginal brig charges
2. Details on Captains charter, behaviour and moral code guidlines
3. Disciplinary Policy & Procedures guidlines
4. MIssing Re-Supply Caches
5. Any issues with Captains sharing resources
6. Any issues sharing of federation resources beyond its boarders
7. Any issues accessing federation databanks for analysis / battle planning by non federation intelligent life forms on a non commercial basis?
I have come to the conclusion that the current staff at Starfleet command has succumbed to some sort of reality altering alien, which is causing this bewildering behavoiur totally unbecoming of the communications team.
I have attempted to communicate with the Admiral for Comunications & Logistics directly via personal comms - hopefully they have not yet been afffected by the alien entity and will respond with some better news.
