Valerie stormed into her quarters on the banshee, taking off the scream armour and immediately grabbing her corkscrew, opening a bottle of wine she had stashed in a little crate under her bed, taking a deep gulp, not bothering with a glass. She watched her PADD for a bit, green eyes burning with anger and narrowed, then sighed, grabbing it and turning the recording function.
"I do not do zese much too often, but it may be beneficial. Usually, when zis bunch of imbeciles angered me so much, a certain someone was zere to calm me. Well, not anymore, so I may as well rant it out."
She got up and started pacing around the room, stopping to turn on a digital photo frame, first getting through what would seem like a needlessly complicated security system for such - a fingerprint scanner, a retinal scanner and a password. After it was on, Valerie would watch photos of her and Cynna at Disney world, then a selfie of herself and Zee in front of the royal palace of Monaco, both wearing fake vampire fangs, with Val playfully "biting" Zee's neck, then a photo of Valerie proudly displaying her Tzenkethi war axe. She sighed, turning the photo frame off again, and continuing her log.
"Today was deeply personal for me. 1060 resurfaced. Posing as a starfleet nurse, no less. Of course, Liz wanted to go about it more or less ze standard non-lezhal way. Ze mistake she made was sharing it wiz zat bunch of self-righteous, 'olier-zan-zhou dimwits she calls a crew. Sharpe openly left ze Kiereses to guilt trip Elizabezh, proposing various naïve, stupid ideas, wanting to be "Good". Fucker wants 'is XO job so much, yet 'e does not know zat once an XO 'as voiced 'is opinions to ze captain, 'e supports 'er decision in front of ze ozhers, and keeps zem in check. 'E is nozhing more zan an ape in a suit.
Kiereses... Azacri is 'er usual endearingly naïve self. Or at least, pretending to be. In reality, she is a little manipulator, more zan 'appy to play on Liz's regrets and insecurities. David is what surprised me. So eager to get a crumb of 'is wife's approval, and maybe ze chance to stick 'is little carrot inside 'er, 'e told me to "Shut up.". I actually enjoyed it. 'E 'as a lot of guts for someone who is unable to go to ze bazhroom wizhout asking 'is wife first.
Cazerina and Scarlett were ze surprises of ze night. Zey will make fine officers yet. Zey actually listened to reason and were ready to do as neccessary. Sadly, such did not 'appen. Liz buckled, or seemed to, under ze pressure. Knowing 'er, it is probably anozher scheme. But it still infuriates me to no end. Instead of supporting 'er, ze majority of zose little pretend 'eroes are more zan 'appy to play Captain Picard and preach all ze lovey-dovey Starfleet bullshit."
Another gulp of wine followed, Valerie closing her eyes, nostrils flaring as she bit on her lower lip and tried to calm herself down enough to continue. After five seconds or so of silence, she continued.
"Zey are adults. Zey should know zat zis means eizher letting ze target go, costing who knows 'ow many women zeir unborn children, or zat if Liz complies wiz zeir bullshit plans, she is putting 'er ass on ze line. Big time. Zat is what astounds me most. Liz 'as put 'er career and life on ze line for zese people a million times since becoming captain. A million times before zat too, even if zey do not know it. Instead of showing a shred of gratitude, zey are more zan 'appy to exploit 'er sadness and 'er wish to redeem 'erself to fuel zeir own little 'ero fantasies. No matter what it means for 'er... I 'ope zese animals at least 'ave ze decency to feel bad when zis inevitably goes to shit. End log. Encryption 'Arpy TAU-6-1. Personal Log."
