WEBVTT 00:00:04.029 --> 00:00:07.370 It inspired me to find a way to get in the way. 00:00:07.610 --> 00:00:10.789 And I got in trouble. Good trouble. Necessary 00:00:10.789 --> 00:00:23.350 trouble. Private remote connection established. 00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:27.870 Accessing resilience flight recorder data directory. 00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:39.789 File selected. Playing log. Come in. Hello, Counselor. 00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:43.049 I was told to report for a psychological workup 00:00:43.049 --> 00:00:45.670 as a part of my physical. Do you have a moment? 00:00:46.030 --> 00:00:52.689 Yes, of course, Lieutenant. Come on in. This 00:00:52.689 --> 00:00:55.950 is a nice place you have here, Counselor. It 00:00:55.950 --> 00:00:58.210 sure beats the hallway of ensigns on the lower 00:00:58.210 --> 00:01:01.759 decks. Actually... Members of the ship's counselor 00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:07.180 program don't really go through that. What? We 00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:11.640 don't generally get out into space until after 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:17.359 we've been promoted to lieutenant or LJG. Really? 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.840 Mm -hmm. We do a lot of clinical work at various 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.200 facilities around the Federation. Once they're 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.900 sure of our counseling skills, then we are permitted 00:01:28.900 --> 00:01:32.340 to practice in the field. So you didn't have 00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:35.359 to go through the whole lower decks, no privacy 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:42.640 process? No. Why? No reason. So, let me ask you. 00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.420 You are a full lieutenant. That's right. So then 00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:51.340 how long have you been on the space duty? We're 00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:55.530 not here to talk about me. Why don't you take 00:01:55.530 --> 00:01:59.230 a seat and we can get started? I knew I should 00:01:59.230 --> 00:02:00.709 have made a different choice at the Academy. 00:02:01.170 --> 00:02:04.349 Well, we can certainly talk about that at another 00:02:04.349 --> 00:02:08.009 time. But for now, I'm going to start the recording 00:02:08.009 --> 00:02:11.789 of our session, if that's all right. Absolutely. 00:02:12.490 --> 00:02:16.009 Computer, begin recording this session. Save 00:02:16.009 --> 00:02:19.050 it to my professional files, Voice Print, T'vel, 00:02:19.069 --> 00:02:25.060 Tau, Kappa, 3584. Okay, let's begin, shall we? 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.080 Please state your name, rank, and current assignment 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.759 for the record. Mia Colt, Lieutenant - Actually, 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.740 Mia, I need your full name, please. Do I have 00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:43.500 to? Yes, I am afraid it is regulations. Fine. 00:02:44.819 --> 00:02:49.780 Josephine Miriam Mia Colt, Lieutenant Chief Helm 00:02:49.780 --> 00:02:53.250 Officer on the USS Resilience. That seems like 00:02:53.250 --> 00:02:57.370 it should be an interesting starting point. Do 00:02:57.370 --> 00:03:01.389 you not like your given name? I should have known 00:03:01.389 --> 00:03:05.430 you would make a big deal out of that. Where 00:03:05.430 --> 00:03:11.449 do I begin? Okay. Vulcan and Romulus have a lot 00:03:11.449 --> 00:03:15.449 of traditions, don't they? I believe you could 00:03:15.449 --> 00:03:19.419 say that. Go on. Okay. So you know what it's 00:03:19.419 --> 00:03:21.500 like to have to do something because it's a tradition 00:03:21.500 --> 00:03:24.599 and not for any other logical reason? I suppose. 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.280 But how does that relate to your name? My name 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.840 is the result of a long -standing family tradition. 00:03:32.740 --> 00:03:35.639 My dad's mom is named Josephine, and my mom's 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.800 mother is named Miriam. My parents decided they 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.240 would call me Mia for short, but this is a family 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:45.000 tradition going back generations. You sound like 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.439 you do not approve of this tradition. I don't 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:54.300 know. I know I'm not happy having a seven -syllable 00:03:54.300 --> 00:04:00.500 name. It's so long and formal. That's why I could 00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:02.560 have killed Nick when he introduced me to the 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.259 senior staff by my full name. By Nick, you mean 00:04:06.259 --> 00:04:10.300 Captain Moore? Yes. Sorry. Old habit since I've 00:04:10.300 --> 00:04:12.860 known him for so long. Are you and he close? 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.839 Not as close as many people seem to think. We're 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.339 really good friends, and he was my mentor. Okay, 00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:25.480 let's go back to your family for a moment. Tell 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.019 me about your parents. Matityahu and Aliza Colt. 00:04:30.379 --> 00:04:33.000 My dad is the rabbi for Community of Terra Nova. 00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:35.899 It's a small congregation, but he serves them 00:04:35.899 --> 00:04:39.879 faithfully. Are you devoted to your faith? I 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.600 am more so when I get back home. On a starship, 00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:48.899 it's hard to be 100 % observant. I try to stay 00:04:48.899 --> 00:04:51.459 observant with the dietary restrictions and I 00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:54.180 observe as many of the holidays as I can, but 00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:56.540 life on a starship... It does tend to get in 00:04:56.540 --> 00:05:00.339 the way. Exactly. My father knows that I try 00:05:00.339 --> 00:05:03.319 to follow everything as well as I can. He used 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.279 to say to me, Bubalah, God knows your heart. Keep 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.180 that in the forefront of your life and he will 00:05:09.180 --> 00:05:16.250 guide you. He sounds very wise. Yeah. I'd say 00:05:16.250 --> 00:05:19.769 he's the wisest man I know. And I love him very 00:05:19.769 --> 00:05:24.509 much. What about your mother? My mom is one of 00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:27.790 the rocks of the community. She's always trying 00:05:27.790 --> 00:05:30.389 to make sure everyone is taken care of. If someone 00:05:30.389 --> 00:05:32.870 was in need, my mom was right there lending a 00:05:32.870 --> 00:05:36.610 hand and organizing helpers. She's a real force 00:05:36.610 --> 00:05:39.889 of nature. Sounds like you really look up to 00:05:39.889 --> 00:05:45.129 her. I do. She taught me that caring and supporting 00:05:45.129 --> 00:05:47.470 others is one of the keys to doing God's work 00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:51.149 in our community. So, as a kid, I was her little 00:05:51.149 --> 00:05:55.449 assistant. I noticed a couple themes in your 00:05:55.449 --> 00:05:59.889 life. Oh? One, you mentioned community a lot. 00:06:01.009 --> 00:06:04.949 Yeah. Community was a large part of my life growing 00:06:04.949 --> 00:06:07.389 up. And that fact that my parents were at the 00:06:07.389 --> 00:06:09.550 center of a community made it hard for me to 00:06:09.550 --> 00:06:12.310 avoid. In fact, that's been one of the hardest 00:06:12.310 --> 00:06:15.970 things about this transfer. What is that? I had 00:06:15.970 --> 00:06:18.269 to give up the great community I had back on 00:06:18.269 --> 00:06:20.750 the Intrepid. There was a group of women on the 00:06:20.750 --> 00:06:22.470 ship who were involved in each other's lives. 00:06:23.009 --> 00:06:25.550 We would go out for drinks once or twice a week, 00:06:25.589 --> 00:06:27.689 and if something happened, we had each other's 00:06:27.689 --> 00:06:32.310 back. It was nice to have that support. You believe 00:06:32.310 --> 00:06:36.069 you won't find that on the Resilience? Maybe. 00:06:36.649 --> 00:06:39.889 I don't know. When I went to the Intrepid... 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.800 They already had a group in place. So I was just 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.459 welcomed in, but here people just seem so isolated 00:06:47.459 --> 00:06:50.819 and cut off. I have noticed that, Lieutenant. 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:54.519 Right? It's like they all want to keep everyone 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.000 at arm's length. This place really needs a support 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:02.519 system. Well, if it will help, I will be your 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.220 first volunteer. Really? A support community 00:07:06.220 --> 00:07:10.040 is a good idea. And I would be happy to assist 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.600 you. Great! Now we just need to find one more 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.639 person to join us. I'm thinking Commander Ch'rega 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.240 would be the best candidate. If we can get her 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.920 to go along with us, it will be easier to get 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.439 others to join. That sounds like a good idea. 00:07:26.980 --> 00:07:30.199 Just let me know the details and I will join 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.800 you. You bet, Counselor. I'm thinking a ladies' 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:38.000 night would be a great way to get started. Ladies 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.759 night? Just a bunch of women having drinks. Really 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.100 fun. I can explain more later. I don't want to 00:07:45.100 --> 00:07:47.620 waste our time together. You said there were 00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:51.959 two things about me. Yes. The first, your sense 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.319 of community. The other is how you refer back 00:07:55.319 --> 00:08:01.379 to faith. Oh. Yeah, I do, don't I? Yes, you do. 00:08:01.779 --> 00:08:05.139 I assume it's a significant part of your life? 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.279 Well, my dad is a rabbi, so it's kind of ingrained 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.459 with the territory. Fascinating. It's a commonly 00:08:13.459 --> 00:08:15.720 held truth that children of spiritual leaders 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.139 tend to be a degree or two more wild than the 00:08:19.139 --> 00:08:23.360 average youth. That is not the case in your situation? 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.600 I guess not. I think what happened in my case 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.519 is that my parents always seemed to live in the 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.500 faith they were professing. It wasn't just words 00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:35.750 to them. So, like I said, as a kid I learned 00:08:35.750 --> 00:08:38.110 what it meant to look after the sick, widows, 00:08:38.110 --> 00:08:40.990 orphans and the foreigners. No matter who they 00:08:40.990 --> 00:08:43.110 were, no matter what happened, I learned to treat 00:08:43.110 --> 00:08:45.629 people like I would be treated. Of course, I'm 00:08:45.629 --> 00:08:47.570 not saying there weren't times things felt a 00:08:47.570 --> 00:08:51.070 little strained. But my father would sit me down 00:08:51.070 --> 00:08:54.129 and explain who each of us was and what God required 00:08:54.129 --> 00:08:59.149 from us. I wasn't a perfect kid, but my parents 00:08:59.149 --> 00:09:02.539 loved me and I loved them. And they gave me valuable 00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:06.080 lessons to live by. That's very interesting, 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:10.639 Mia. I am curious about one thing, though. What's 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:15.379 that? If I am not mistaken, Judaism comes with 00:09:15.379 --> 00:09:20.700 a certain dietary restriction, does it not? Yes, 00:09:20.740 --> 00:09:24.600 yes it does. How do you manage those restrictions 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:30.090 with the non -earth cuisine you encounter? That 00:09:30.090 --> 00:09:34.190 is a good question, counselor. And let me just 00:09:34.190 --> 00:09:37.210 say that I can't just call my dad on the subspace 00:09:37.210 --> 00:09:41.090 every time I have a question. Believe me, I've 00:09:41.090 --> 00:09:44.470 tried. And it is really hard to duck out of the 00:09:44.470 --> 00:09:47.090 buffet line at the Klingon consulate to determine 00:09:47.090 --> 00:09:51.049 if garg is kosher. The Klingons take offense 00:09:51.049 --> 00:09:56.720 at that. Oh no, what did you do? Just... Went 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.000 along with the rest of the delegation and asked 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.500 for forgiveness later. That is very interesting, 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:06.460 Lieutenant. I look forward to hearing more stories 00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:09.860 from you. I have some great stories about the 00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:15.940 Captain. Fascinating. I believe I have everything 00:10:15.940 --> 00:10:19.120 I need for your evaluation. Thank you for stopping 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.299 by. You're welcome. Let me know if you are interested 00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:26.659 in getting a drink some night. I will. Have a 00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:28.860 great night, counselor. I will show myself out. 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:43.320 Good night, Mia. End of selected file. Logging 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:48.519 out.
