Lieutenant's personal Log

I have been having nightmares about the last mission since I got back. I have been doing things that I shouldn't but I just wanted the nightmares to stop. Nicole had called me out on it but at the time I wanted to get away with it. I didn't want to deal with it and just wanted to hide behind something to make me forget. I asked Nicole if there was any going back, if there was going to be a normal after what I had seen and she told me that there is no normal after what we saw and that would be something that is hard to forget. What I saw on board that ship was nightmare fuel to be sure but what had happened to them was what affected me. I did not know who had done it or why they had done it. I never figured it out and that is what hurt me the most. If I were being honest, I would say that I feel like a failure and that I felt like I owed that crew something that I wasn't able to give at that moment.

I am not sure that I will get over this easily but then that is the challenge isn't it? To get over it but not to forget it and let the determination of wanting to do something to make this right and bring those who did this to justice drive me forward. To those that did this, I want you to know one thing and that is the fact that no matter how long it takes, I will help find you and destroy you. Not physically but I will destroy whatever you have planned and make sure that you will not be able to do it again. I will help my crew crush your ambition and bring you to justice. This I swear, as a samurai and a Starfleet officer.
