LCARS:Song Lyrics
From LCARS
Many of our Mission Logs are titled with song lyrics. For logs that were split into multiple parts with the same title—something more common in the early days of our game—the link goes to part one. If a log is not listed here, the log title was (probably) not a song lyric.
