I’m terribly confused. I expected to wake up ether in a councilor’s office, or the brig a few days after being picked up, but instead I awakened in the middle of a hanger on a starship, and 20 frigging years have passed! I guess I should be happy that the stinking nurse is likely an old lady now, but that's little comfort knowing that I have some debts with 20 years interest built up out there waiting on me.
As to the crew of what seems to be my new posting, well what can I say?
The Captain seems at first glance a decent fellow, but I don’t think he has my service record or he wouldn’t have let that thing open my cryo pod, or maybe he would. I don’t know if this is a sign of gross incompetence on his part, or if over the years they lost my records as well as my body, or he could just like hurting people and wanted to see if I'd pee myself when I opened my eyes. I just need to watch him and see what sort of person he is, and find out who lost me for 20 years and why!
The XO didn’t say much, but that’s what I’d expect from a Vulcan. I must say what little I could see of her, she looked cute for one of those cold calculating people.
The Doctor? Well I’m batting 1000 there. She was drunk, and just this side of falling down, just like the last one. I don’t think I’ll be trusting her with much more than pulling splinters, though I’m not sure she is a MD. Considering what I heard, she may be a counselor. If so, she needs to talk to herself about the evils of drink!
Now for the part I didn’t really want to think about, that thing that was leaning over me in the pod. Gods I hope my ears were playing tricks on me, and just thinking about her makes my poor hands hurt. If M’Rander is that that things mother I wonder if it will want to carry on where it’s mother left off! I need to find some weapons, and soon if it’s loose on this ship. I will never end up like I was on the Tang again, alone and unarmed in the dark.
It seems taller than M’Rander ever was and had a look about it that was….. Kzin. I’m just happy that whatever it is, it’s off the ship now. Perhaps with luck it won’t come back!
I also have another worry, seems M’Rander is still alive. If I heard right, she is in an asylum somewhere, I just wonder how many of the guards have gone missing…… By the Gods! Could they have put me on ice to keep me from testifying at her court-martial? If so, will they be letting her out any time soon, or could the be on the way to find me to keep me from telling what I know? I need to find out!
