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 --> 00:00:10.769 And I got in trouble. Good trouble. Necessary 00:00:10.769 --> 00:00:23.329 trouble. Private remote connection established. 00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:27.870 Accessing resilience flight recorder data directory. 00:00:41.440 --> 00:01:06.040 Computer. Blood wine. Computer, begin recording 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:19.659 personal logs. Personal log, stardate 212608 00:01:19.659 --> 00:01:35.150 .29. We had the memorial service today for Commander 00:01:35.150 --> 00:01:38.590 Straan. He had a tragic but honorable death, 00:01:38.769 --> 00:01:42.450 saving Lieutenant Maysha. The lieutenant managed 00:01:42.450 --> 00:01:45.269 to escape with only minor injuries. However, 00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:49.989 she now battles with demons of the mind. Her 00:01:49.989 --> 00:01:52.829 abrupt exit at the memorial while speaking was 00:01:52.829 --> 00:01:56.890 concerning. T'vel and I found her attempting 00:01:56.890 --> 00:02:00.409 to meditate control over her feeling. She was 00:02:00.409 --> 00:02:05.579 not successful. The situation was complicated 00:02:05.579 --> 00:02:08.020 even more when Dr. Narlin attempted to assert 00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:11.460 dominion over Maysha's treatment. This sparked 00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:14.840 another battle in the war of Dr. Narlin and 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.699 Dr. Flint. I agree that Lieutenant Flint should 00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:21.259 respect the authority of the Chief Medical Officer. 00:02:22.219 --> 00:02:26.780 However, her characterization of Narlin being 00:02:26.780 --> 00:02:29.300 derelict in his duty to the full crew is not 00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:33.580 something which can be ignored. I will have to 00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:35.439 address this with Captain Moore at some point. 00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:39.340 Speaking of which, this evening Captain Moore 00:02:39.340 --> 00:02:41.680 and I will be dining with Admiral Kilgallon in 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:46.219 his quarters. I am not looking forward to that. 00:02:46.939 --> 00:02:49.919 It took all my restraint this afternoon to keep 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.099 from breaking him in half the way he spoke to 00:02:52.099 --> 00:02:56.620 Lieutenant Maysha. I am not fond of bullies, and 00:02:56.620 --> 00:02:59.039 the Admiral is clearly the biggest one I've seen. 00:03:02.090 --> 00:03:04.930 I had honestly thought that misogyny and xenophobia 00:03:04.930 --> 00:03:09.030 had died out amongst the humans years ago. But 00:03:09.030 --> 00:03:12.750 there it was in engineering for all to see. He 00:03:12.750 --> 00:03:15.150 praises a male officer and degrades a female. 00:03:16.250 --> 00:03:19.229 I half expected to be dismissed so the men could 00:03:19.229 --> 00:03:25.889 talk. This is one area where the Klingons have 00:03:25.889 --> 00:03:29.250 the advantage over humans. Both sexes fight equally 00:03:29.250 --> 00:03:33.469 for the Empire. Of course, there are no women 00:03:33.469 --> 00:03:36.090 on the council leading, the great houses, or the 00:03:36.090 --> 00:03:41.069 generals. At least we fight as equals. Even more 00:03:41.069 --> 00:03:44.050 puzzling is Captain Moore. He is practically 00:03:44.050 --> 00:03:49.150 a giddy schoolboy over the Admiral. I half expected 00:03:49.150 --> 00:03:51.370 the Admiral to give him a treat to roll over 00:03:51.370 --> 00:03:55.310 and do other tricks. And it's a little weird 00:03:55.310 --> 00:03:57.789 of him to ask about his father's medical test. 00:03:58.650 --> 00:04:00.689 It's like he's too close to the people under 00:04:00.689 --> 00:04:04.330 his command. There is so much about this situation 00:04:04.330 --> 00:04:07.969 which is sounding red alert. I don't like it, 00:04:07.990 --> 00:04:09.990 and in particular, I don't like the Admiral. 00:04:10.629 --> 00:04:13.210 When I get my own ship, I'll pray to Kahless that 00:04:13.210 --> 00:04:17.149 it's under a different Admiral. Something about 00:04:17.149 --> 00:04:22.449 Kilgallon is dangerous. I hope the captain is 00:04:22.449 --> 00:04:25.300 only going through a phase. This had better not 00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:27.480 happen every time the Admiral is in range, or 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:29.660 I will be looking for a post somewhere else. 00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:34.680 I will not berate someone for a mistake, and 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.420 I will not roll over for the petaQ. My honor 00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:42.300 is worth more than that. I am grateful to Captain 00:04:42.300 --> 00:04:44.199 Moore for giving me this chance to be his first 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.620 officer. So far, he has come across as a good 00:04:48.620 --> 00:04:52.939 man. And I think he is exactly what the resilience 00:04:52.939 --> 00:04:56.240 needed. In the few days he's been here, it seems 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.079 like there's a sense of new life despite the 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:04.879 recent tragedies. On a lighter note, I received 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.379 another communication from my mother today. She 00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:10.480 keeps asking when I'm going to come back home 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.620 to Japorii 2 for a visit. Her letter included 00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:17.639 an unnecessarily long story about Mrs. Thom's 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.050 gout. You would think a 97 -year -old woman would 00:05:21.050 --> 00:05:23.189 take better care of herself and listen when the 00:05:23.189 --> 00:05:25.410 doctor tells her to lay off the Andorian ice 00:05:25.410 --> 00:05:29.170 bores. The worst part is, I've seen her eat a 00:05:29.170 --> 00:05:31.290 tray of ice boars with blood sauce, and it's 00:05:31.290 --> 00:05:35.149 not a sight for the weak of heart. If I had to 00:05:35.149 --> 00:05:38.050 compare it to something, I would have to say 00:05:38.050 --> 00:05:40.949 it's like a pack of targs eating a fang beast 00:05:40.949 --> 00:05:44.649 after a glorious kill. There's blood everywhere 00:05:44.649 --> 00:05:48.560 and a lot of snorting. At least the fang beast 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.519 is no longer suffering. Not sure I could say 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:56.480 the same for the ice bores. I should be grateful 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.939 she talked about Mrs. Thom and didn't keep asking 00:05:58.939 --> 00:06:01.319 when I'm going to settle down and begin giving 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:06.360 her grandchildren. I don't have the heart to 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.560 tell her why I'm not in a relationship she would 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.500 approve of. Actually, I don't know if I would 00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:15.509 actually call it a relationship. It might better 00:06:15.509 --> 00:06:19.569 be called a convenient complication. Prow knows 00:06:19.569 --> 00:06:23.129 my feelings about prestige and nobility. He still 00:06:23.129 --> 00:06:25.509 plans to go back to take over his family's house 00:06:25.509 --> 00:06:29.470 on Kate one day. If what I'm hearing about the 00:06:29.470 --> 00:06:32.250 new captain is true, I will want to put an end 00:06:32.250 --> 00:06:35.889 to this situation. Prow wanted to talk with me 00:06:35.889 --> 00:06:38.269 this afternoon, but I told him it wouldn't be 00:06:38.269 --> 00:06:42.250 a good idea right now. This was not well received. 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.819 Of all the people on the ship, why did I pick 00:06:56.819 --> 00:06:58.319 the one who comes from the background, which 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:03.199 is everything I despise? The great houses of 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:05.519 Cait are no different than the great houses of 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.040 the Empire. They are all a way for the elite 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:10.899 to hold power over the rest of the population. 00:07:11.540 --> 00:07:13.860 Either you work for one of these houses, or you're 00:07:13.860 --> 00:07:17.079 a faceless no -one in the crowd. I heard and 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.600 saw what that life did to my parents, and for 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.730 what? so my father could have his honor stripped 00:07:22.730 --> 00:07:25.149 away and he ended up dying because of a grudge? 00:07:25.430 --> 00:07:28.050 The Federation may be imperfect, but it's still 00:07:28.050 --> 00:07:31.649 more stable. Cait may have held on to their class 00:07:31.649 --> 00:07:33.990 structure, but they have made it work within 00:07:33.990 --> 00:07:37.389 the Federation. Kronos could learn from them. 00:07:38.310 --> 00:07:45.790 Although I don't see that ever happening. I was 00:07:45.790 --> 00:07:48.370 also invited to something called Ladies' Night. 00:07:48.889 --> 00:07:52.550 by Lieutenant Colt. She described it as a fun 00:07:52.550 --> 00:07:56.170 night of women supporting one another. It seems 00:07:56.170 --> 00:07:59.149 the support she is referring to is whatever we 00:07:59.149 --> 00:08:03.790 need, such as a relationship or career. Apparently, 00:08:03.810 --> 00:08:05.790 the idea comes from a group of women who would 00:08:05.790 --> 00:08:09.329 meet regularly on the Intrepid. Somehow, she's 00:08:09.329 --> 00:08:11.730 convinced the ship's counselor to T'vel to participate. 00:08:12.410 --> 00:08:15.709 I'm not really sure how I feel about this. I 00:08:15.709 --> 00:08:17.769 know as First Officer I need to be more accessible 00:08:17.769 --> 00:08:22.149 to the crew, but this almost feels too familiar. 00:08:23.930 --> 00:08:26.310 Maybe with only three people it won't be so bad. 00:08:26.949 --> 00:08:30.069 Besides, that's tomorrow night's problem. For 00:08:30.069 --> 00:08:32.529 now, it's time to get ready to report to the 00:08:32.529 --> 00:08:35.629 Admiral's Quarters with him and Captain Moore. 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.940 The truth is, it feels like someone took a rusty 00:08:51.940 --> 00:08:54.200 duck -tuck and carved a sectioned valley into 00:08:54.200 --> 00:09:00.500 my cranial ridges.
