It’s been an exciting past couple of days for me. I might go so far as to say I’m overjoyed at recent events in my life. The Captain decided to make me the acting chief engineer… but if I slip up once I’ll be sent back to Ops. –Faint coughing is heard as Nate clears his throat- I’ve no intention of letting her trust in my abilities be incorrect… I aim to prove her trust was well placed and then some.
-The noise of walking is heard as Nate stood up and moved to his replicator-
Ice water… -the sound of the replicator materializing Nate’s order is heard and soon his footsteps as he returns to his chair- There’s one last thing I want to get off my chest, even if it’s likely no one will ever hear this log, I did have a nice chat with Lt. T’Ruri. We talked about the long months of flirting and other things… at least it began that way. I’ll spare a vast amount of detail, but she had a lot on her mind about the subject, and I gave her the best honest answers I could to help. It didn’t take long for it to become my turn. She asked just a very simple question, one that I honestly don’t know, how am I so controlled. –A loud sigh is heard- I just don’t know… I’ve always been this way the longest I can remember. It’s how I was raised. To be polite and control my own urges.
-Loud footsteps can be heard as if someone was pacing around near the computer-
Then it turned towards my parents I talked about how strict my Dad is, about his perfection complex, and his orderly lifestyle that I can only assume rubbed off on me. –yet another loud sigh is heard- I even told her the real reason I joined Starfleet… not because I wanted to, but because my Dad wanted me to. –Nathan again sighs loudly- I joined because of him, but now I’m staying because I want to. I did it in hopes to make him happy and proud of me… which when he heard about me being accepted into the Academy was true. He was the happiest man alive. T’Ruri seemed to think I was the victim of passive child abuse, which maybe I was, but I don’t believe I was… she suggested I talk to the Doc about it, which I may just do that.
-The footsteps abruptly stop and the sound of someone tapping their fingers on a hard surface is heard-
Well, despite the small bits of history of my past I don’t usually share to people… I did enjoy just talking with her. I also really enjoyed the view I had. –a loud cough is heard- Alright, computer… End Log.
