I am happy to report that our attempt to retrieve the away team was successful. Luckily, we never had to go to the captain and try to convince him to stay based on our rather flimsy evidence; instead, the entire thing ended up taking care of itself. I guess the away team was able to figure something out to give us what we needed. I think even Deb was happy to see her lost corpsman. And it’s nice to know that I didn’t lose a new security officer.

 

In other news, I’m packing up to head home for a while. Great-grandma Walters’ condition isn’t improving, and I want to be there with her. The captain has approved my request for leave, and I’ll be transferred over to the USS Scovil for transport to the nearest starbase. From there I can get on a transport ship back to Earth.

 

Great-grandma Walters always had an odd fascination with me. I would almost go as far to say that she cared about me more than she cared about her own children. Nobody seems to know why, but everyone just chalks it up to “that’s how grandparents are”. It’d be nice to see if I can learn the real reason, though. I hope I get back in time.
