Title of Log: Here and Now
____________________________________
Captain’s Personal Log,
I have just rendezvoused with the Vengeance after attending Captain Devon Scott’s, of 7th Fleet, wedding on Risa and am now heading for StarBase 37, in the Alpha Centari Region. Personally, I don’t know the Captain that well, having only met in passing, rather I was at the gathering as Commander Honda’s escort. It was a polite, conservative ceremony though having only been to two other such ceremonies I have little frame of reference. As for the reception on Risa, I am reminded why many factions in the galaxy think the Federation as soft.
Risa is a lush, exotic world to be sure but to convert the entire world to a resort seems to be a shameful waste of resources. The logistics of maintaining the weather control network would be enough to manufacture a dozen medium size star ships. Maybe my opinion of the world is skewed because I grew up in a remote, impoverished region of the Federation. Being on the sandy beaches felt oddly wrong to me and I felt more than a little out of place in general.
I believe Commander Honda did what she could to make me at ease, even though I was supposed to be there for her emotional benefit. I find myself surprising at ease around Honda, I normally find it hard to trust people but I do consider her a true friend. Part of me wonders if anyone was convinced by the charade image that we were a real couple. Although I think the image was intended to spur an emotional response from Captain Scott, I will admit I liked the feeling of having an attractive, young woman at my side.
Regardless, until things cool down for the Vengeance and its crew, I have keep my mind on the here and now. Daydreaming of things that would never happen will only take me off my edge.
