Personal Log:

I find it merciful that most of the chaos of ship transfers have been gradually been winding down as everyone has made it on board. I don't know what we are going to be experiencing next, but whatever it is, we shall figure out when the time comes!

Honestly, this posting is completely different as to what I experienced in my earlier postings. First off, there is no real set "route" that I will have to endure with like traveling up and down the neutral zone looking for Romulans that may or may not show up. Instead, I am on the frontier, looking through the darkness of ignorance to have the light of exploration shining upon it. Again, I am not sure exactly what it will entail, but I can only ponder what it will be.

One thing that I understand, which I think will be my biggest challenge for me, is that I have to accept the fact that we, are, alone. If anything happens, we're dead. There will not even be a chance for my body to be recovered if the ship blows up. I honestly do not know how I feel about that. I remember being told that there will not be a proper funeral because Ryan's body, well, disappeared when his ship blew up. Those involved knew right away when Ryan's ship got destroyed. It could take a long time for anyone to find out our fate.

I do not dwell on that possibility though. I can't. I've been in Star Fleet long enough to know that if I dwell on what could happen, I'd might as well take a long walk out of the airlock singing "I Believe I Can Fly." That being said, I know that I am surrounded by the best, and my shipmates will do whatever they can to get back home, somehow. We shall see.
