It’s been a rough couple of weeks, there’s no denying that. Losing my ship, my crew, myself . . . it’s a lot to go through. Add to that the hours and hours spent being interrogated by Starfleet Intelligence and things just start looking like they’ll never get better. I suppose they are getting better, though. I still have no way of reaching out to anyone I used to know, and it sounds like I’m trapped out here in the Delta Quadrant, but at least Intelligence released me back to service. I might not be with Operation Sunrise anymore, but at least I can make myself useful.

The USS Victory seems like a good ship, and a good crew. I can tell they’ve been through some hard times, and it’s no surprise. It can’t be easy to be out here, cut off and feeling alone. What’s worse, there are rumors that they recently uncovered a spy aboard their ship – quite troublesome from purely a strategic standpoint, not to mention the effect on everyone’s psyche. It can only make the isolation worse to introduce such a measure of distrust among the crew. I know I’ll probably be facing a lot of that distrust myself, at least once people start finding out where I’m from. It’s not all that critical so I thought I’d keep it quiet, but we all know how fast rumors spread on starships. Besides, being secretive will only make it harder for people to trust me. I’ll just have to do my best and hope to find acceptance.

It looks like the Victory is making its final docking arrangements. I can’t wait to board and get underway. As much as I understood the necessity for my debriefing here, it’s an experience I’d rather leave behind me. Besides, now I’ve just been left with brooding, and that isn’t doing me any good. It’ll be good to get out on the frontier again.
