Risking Hope
Nine years since I last set foot on Enterprise? It hardly seems possible. This is my ship...was my ship; I'm not even in uniform today.
She looks much the same, from a distance. Inside, there is a pall. Trip...Captain Charles Tucker...imagine that...says it's anti-matter conservation. It feels more like lingering defeat. Their loss is less raw than my own, but the scars are deep.
I caught three flashes of hope: a smile, if brittle, from Trip--for old times' sake. The warmth of Hoshi's hug, for friendship.
And the light in Malcolm's eyes. For love.
