"Computer, begin recording personal log.", Rafe began.

"I wish I was able to be with Danielle. I miss her so much! I remember you advising me when things got tough at Jupiter Station to trust the system, to trust those around you in Starfleet. This is what I must do now. We are all in this together, even you, in a different timeline. I remember when we would go to the arboretum on Jupiter Station and take those long walks. You used to calm me down so much and make me be at peace with everything going on around me. And when I would get excited that I was going to be able to test out a new starship or frigate, or scout ship, you would hang on every word, even though sometimes I would drone on and on.

You kept me centered. You made me whole. You always challenged me to strive for excellence while not alienating my teammates. You helped me to be focused on the important things, like love, family, integrity, and building friendships that would last a lifetime. I miss you immensely but I will be home. We have a great team and this Lt. Vala sounds like he knows what he is doing. With luck, we'll be able to find how to get back home. I love you, Danielle. You may never be able to hear this as it will probably be restricted to top secret. Well, if it is then so be it. I don't mind as long as I get to see you again.

You will always be my number one! I love you.", Rafe concluded. He instructed the computer to end his personal log and the computer responded with an "Acknowledged".
