I went on my first Away Team today, and even though logically I know it is a simulator, it seems so real. I know real original observation right? How many Cadet logs have said the same thing?

 

But I'm not talking about the simulated wind on my face, sun in my eyes type of realism. I'm referring more to the gritty lessons that are much better learned and the mistakes better made in there.

 

As is my custom, I enjoy reviewing the Holodeck recording of the mission, you know so I can see what my classmates experienced, did, and said. Still trying to find a color of shirt I like the best.

 

I was on Away Team 2 and all we dealt with was a large double rotor helo, but Away Team 1 was dealing with a Large 4 legged animal. We had specific orders not to make contact in accordance with the Prime Directive, but this large creature was certainly imposing and always right on the verge of discovering the Team. I think it was Cdt. Gallus who noted, that it was entirely possible that this WAS the primary lifeform on this planet.

 

That thought had not occurred to me, although it should have after my little main hall expereience yesterday. My whole perception of what a primary life form is must change if I and Starfleet are to succeed. I simply cannot assume that all primary life forms will be bi-pedal and carbon based.

 

After the mission was over, a good friend of mine, Kevin Anderson graduated. This was a man who has been there with me from my beginnings. I was his AMO in my first sim and Kevin did his best to look out for me.

 

The Academy will be different for me now. Without a Kevin I will have to step it up a notch. Never know I may become another new Cadet's Kevin... I truly wish him the very best and whatever Starship he chooses will be lucky to have him.
