Captain Jean‑Luc Picard's Supplemental Log (USS Enterprise)
A timestamped, captain‑authorized supplemental ship log entry stored in the USS Enterprise's official bridge logs. The metadata‑rich, voice‑indexed record captures terse mission updates, sensor readouts and declarative command statements tied to Captain Jean‑Luc Picard's credentials; it is treated as an authoritative, immutable record until formally amended and anchors the Enterprise's shift from hypothesis to investigative/diplomatic action.

Purpose
To create an authoritative, time‑stamped spoken record of the ship's status, orders, and observations—specifically to log the Enterprise's arrival at the Neutral Zone and to document the decision to proceed to the next station.
Significance
Acts as a narrative anchor and operational proof: Picard's measured supplemental log frames the mission, codifies the pivot from patrol to investigation, and preserves the captain's official account of the discovery at Outpost Delta 05 for later review or scrutiny.
