Personal Log, Stardate 68196.7

For the longest time I've wondered what it would feel like to be back home -- to Starfleet HQ in San Francisco after our detention at Kreanus. It felt years away and like an impossible dream for many of us over the past few months, but now that we're back, I feel...bored. Well, maybe apathetic would be the more correct term. The city is thriving and the Academy and headquarters' halls are filled with people...but it doesn't bring me much relief. I fear the scars of everything that's happened have run too deep, and even the feeling of relief is now absent.

My crew and I are all under strict orders while Command investigates our disappearance and return. Being confined to the city isn't such an inconvenience, but we've also been prohibited from contacting any other members of our crew until the inquiries have concluded. I can only imagine how long that will take given Starfleet's known competence for such matters...

I wish to talk to Amaranai, and Nesh, and the others I met along the way such as Ban and Wyatt. Without them, it is hard to feel free or accepted. We're prisoners within our own home and I don't like the feeling. I suppose what has to be done will be done eventually, but in the meantime, this is no homecoming. Moving back to Vajripam feels even more and more appealing as the days go by.
