personal log

SD 50309.17

 

         

            Tovan sighed as he finished his hourly report to his chief. For a moment he thought about his sister, he thought about her welfare and how was she feeling, Tovan hoped that she was not frightened like the day her oldest brother perished in a shuttle crash. He made a personal notes in his padd.

 

            Looking towards the busy crewmembers working on repairs, it reminded him of his good old brother, who was also an engineer in star fleet one of the finest, he missed his company since his death, and now he missed him even more. Every time Tovan picked up a tool or panel or tapping an engineer's console it reminded him of his brother, derok.

 

            Alot of things in main engineering seemed familiar, the debrie, burnts and smell of plasma fires, all too familiar just like that crashed shuttle. The crash that took his brother's life away.

 

            Tovan was only 20 years old back then, his brother promised him he would come, for his birth day celebration, and uses of logic, also his entrance to star fleet.  The only thing is, he did not come. For 4 days Tovan and his family waited for him, but he did not come, the 5th day a report was distributed that a federation shuttle had crashed near the artic wastelands, two Humans, one Bolian, and one Vulcan was killed, as of that moment Tovan's family became silent, the moment of peace to derok's death, his mother spoke, almost emotionless.

 

            "He lived well, He was propserous, and now itis time for him to move on."

 

             Tovan felt tingling sensation all over him, he wanted to cry for some reason, the news sadden him terriblely, but he did not, he could not.

 

             Meanwhile in main engineering over seeing the repairs, he continue to write his log.....

           

             "After repairs, i will go to see my sister, i wish i could share with her the moments aboard the manticore, but she is not old enough to, she is still on the road to pure logic. i wonder if she had made new friends in her new home, it has been a few months since i last saw her." he wrote in to the padd.

 

            Tovan was so overwhelmed with his brother's death, so obessed with it, traveled to the crash site, inspected every square inch of the shuttle, reviewed every detail on its flight path, but all suggests a fetal melfunction. Perhaps this was why he chose the path of his brother, to be the best of an engineer as you ever could be, to remember this melfunction and never let it happen ever again. Whatever it takes.

 

           As he look at the padd and back at the engineers, dedicated people they were, just like his brother. He looked away as he wrote the last few sentences and tapped "end".
