"Computer begin recording, Lieutenant Commander Luke Wyatt, Chief Security Officer's personal log stardate 96296.06.

The ship has finally left spacedock and I must compliment the firework display we received. I think after the last few months and after the destruction of the previous Galileo people really needed something to get behind and feel proud about, I believe that this ship and our new mission is just it.

As I walk around the ship to my day to day things and see all the new smiling faces however I can't help to think about the people we lost. Either as a direct result of their deaths or through being posted out for personal reasons. I was deeply saddened to hear that Command Ban would not be joining us on this voyage whilst obviously proud and excited for Commander Blake. Despite our differences, I believe I will also miss Ensign Derani and I had hoped that we would be able to reconcile however she too had prematurely left the ship last minute. Finally, there's my very complicated Mirror Universe daughter Abbey. She informed me that she would be leaving after receiving an invitation from the Starfleet intelligence Corps senior director, they believe her experiences in the Mirror Universe would highly benefit their motivations and thus she too left as a result.

With all that said and done, however, I do have something that has been playing on my mind. While I must respect Commander Blake's hand-offish relationship with me something that I must respect. I also understand that I may forever be looking from the outside in like some chided puppy, however, I did meet someone who I had never really spoken to before. After a prolonged and enjoyable encounter with them, I often catch myself thinking about them and ways that I could perhaps meet with them again without scaring them away.

If Abbey was here I'm sure she'd tell me to stop being so stupid and just ask her on a date, but after all these years being openly interested in a woman who obviously shows no romantic interest in me I am extremely cautious. I also know that my feelings for Commander Blake won't just disappear overnight and I can not expect any other person to share her with me, it just wouldn't be fair or right.

At this time I think the most tactical approach would be a to keep a close overwatch on the situation to see if anything further develops, that way I'll avoid being burned again and won't spend years chasing someone.

Anyway, I seem to have digressed a little. The department is running at expected efficiency though they some are a little distracted due to their excitement towards starting a new tour of duty, I gather as time goes by they'll settle into a normal work routine. In terms of ship wide security, I am currently in the process of finalizing the training program myself and the ships Boatswain had discussed. Captain Lirha seemed to take well to the idea and during our 6 month transition period, it would make for great use of the time.

I do not have anything further to report at this stage though I am sure as time goes on my personal logs will become more interesting.
