Reflections

 

Pneuma personal log.

 

I am currently flying on course with the USS Reaent. I just left Cestsus III colony and I have to say, I am thrilled to be returning to some sort of semblance of home. I won't be at my old post anymore. Going to be a scientist as it seems. I will miss the bridge and working with the old girl but alas I guess things change. Only one way to handle it. Accept it and move on. Of course I won't be doing any acrobatics in the science department but who knows what will happen?

Theres the old girl now. Its been a long time and I wish I never left. ::Scratches his chest and adjusts the new uniform.:: I couldn't leave give much notice when I left nor much reason. I was summoned to Betazed by my house to tend to family matters. Turns out my the ninth house decided that they be the dominant house on Betazed and began trying to rally support against a few other houses. Mine being one of them. Considering my position in the house as well as the benefit to the Federation I went back and stood by my family. The Ninth house were talking about withdrawing from the Federation. They actually got a respectable number of people to back them up but after 3 months of debates and disputes they finally renounced their claim to dominance and submitted to the majority will of the other Houses. It wasn't long after that when I began packing for my return trip to the Reaent.

As I was putting my things into the cases, I received a top secret communique which resulted in my changing destinations from the Reaent to the Cestsus III. They needed someone there to act as a mediator between a few groups who were squabbling over a few issues. I was happy to oblige, sadly Reaent wasn't going to be getting her shuttle back for a while. While there I began to study science to be able to assist more on the colony, even though the place never really was home. Science was not my forte at the academy. I preferred to fly anything I could get into. The science end eluded me. Thankfully I met a man named Erik Tameron while at the colony who managed to teach me a bit more about science.

Erik... what an interesting character. He had a knack for anything science. He was also extremely smart. He shamed most anyone I met at the academy with his intelligence. He did teach me a good bit about science. Enough that I can comfortably take my new post without much worry about messing up. He used star ships to explain different things about Physics, Chemistry and even biology. The man stunned me with how much he new and he wasn't that old either. He quickly became a mentor to me. “No matter what you do, Do it like its the last thing you will ever do,” he would tell me. Even now as I make my way back to the Reaent those words ring out. I am not exactly thrilled that I am being ordered to leave already. I mean I will miss just learning. Doing the job as a mediator there was a wonderful experience. Not to mention that this journey has finally gotten me on par with my family on Betazed as far as my abilities go. I am just more comfortable with them now.

::Pneuma looks out at the Reaent which is now the grand vessel he once navigated.::

+Reaent+ Reaent this is Lt. Pneuma reporting. I am home.

::Before a response is given from the Reaent, Pneuma accelerates the shuttle and sends her around the Reaent once width wise and again length wise. ::

+Reaent+ ::Laughing:: Sorry for the show Reaent I am just really happy to be back. Look forward to seeing everyone. Pneuma OUT!

::Pneuma proceeds to the shuttle bay and lands::
