Space, the Final Frontier

"Computer, begin recording personal log.

 

Space... its so big and vast. Over the last few days, i've been pouring over everything I can in the database concerning the journey of USS Voyager NCC-74656. As I come to read more and more and listen to the ships logs of those crew members being instantly sent over 70,000 light years from home. Home has a very special meaning to it. For some home is this ship, like me. For others home is Bolius, Earth, Qo'Nos, etc. My home was taken away from me when I decided that 'home' was not a nice place. The things I did for my home exceeded what was really needed to keep it safe. I didn't know better then but I know better now. Home for me is this ship, her crew my family. It's all I have left, my duties and my life.

 

As of late I seem to have struck up quite the friendship with Keb Mizu, our new pilot. I hope this turns into something for I hate being lonely. Ever since the only woman I ever had feelings for was killed many years ago I have really never looked. That was a moment of intense pain, she was carrying our child, and I was set to marry her in less than 3 months. I have never spoken of this in a log, she was killed by Romulans on a civilian transport ship, they thought was an undercover military vessel, she was but a navigator. Once the Order heard about this tragedy was when they gave me the mission to Romulus to kill the Senator whom had a hand in ordering the attack.

 

Well you've heard that story before, so i won't rehash it. Needless to say Garnoopy is acting irrationally and if he plans to really try and go forward with this plan of his that could kill billions, i will terminate his existance in the way I've done so many times before. Life is worth more than a ships crew trying to get home. I am home, and i know some people feel the same as I do. I know it sounds hippacritical for me to say these things knowing i've put an end to thousands of innocent lives. However during those times i was of course an operative, and i was brainwashed that what i was doing was in the best interests of the Order.

 

After Chief Garnoopy shot my idea down for trying to design a new power source for a new type of torpedo i'm trying to develop, just in case we get into some harsh situations like Voyager did. I snapped, I almost, well i did lose control. I punched a locker and busted up my hand, thankfully sickbay can fix these things. During this i found out that my wire is still working correctly. I've been order to accompany one of two away teams to these planets that we've found. I've never made first contact before, and this will be a first for me. Well I imagine the Admiral has made first contact with many species, hopefully if we find one he will perform above and beyond Starfleet's expectations.

 

I've also been reviewing ships logs and the database concerning times where people didn't follow the rules and broke them in Starfleets history, concerning sacrificing the the good of the few over the many. Captain James Kirk thought much the same way that Garnoopy is, except I think Captain Kirk would not make a decision to endanger the lives of so many. What can someone do to reconcile against such a diehard course of action. How can the Admiral allow Chief Garnoopy to research this plan of his. It's unthinkable, reguardless of how far away from 'home' we are it would never constitute us abandoning the Prime Directive.

 

In my reading Captain Janeway tried a few times to not follow the rules, and it always ended in disaster, this will end that way to. We must stick to the rules, it is the only way for us to remian true to ourselves and the values which we all swore to uphold. Life is precious and thinking about others not just ourselves is was sets us apart from the rest of the powers of the Alpha and Beta quadrants. We are honorable, we have courage, and we are committed to doing right and stopping the wrong. It is these core values that makes us aspire to be better than we are. We need these things in order to remain good and not bad.

 

Computer, end recording, and save log as personal."
