Chief Science Officer's Log:

It's been a rather tempestuous couple of days on the Gally with this mission. I'm not gonna lie, it's been hard for me. Organising the department whilst still attempting to get to know the crew that I'm leading isn't easy. And to top it off I'm still no closer to even theorising what has been happening with these mining operatives.

I'm just about to lead a team down to the surface in order to gather some soil samples to see if these lead to something more promising.

I think the hardest thing I have to contend with is this... unspoken unrest with some of the crew members with regards to assisting the Cardassians. And more on a personal level than I suppose I'd care to admit. What I'm struggling with is that this isn't the first time my former hosts' experiences have conflicted with my own. *SIGH*

My third host Yvaine was a member of the Trill Senate Tower in the vein of developing and securing off-world relations. That was my first experience of the Cardassians and, despite the war Janel fought through, I still couldn't shake the haunting memories of my past. Or my lover Marayn. I can't justify the betrayal I doled to my husband, or abandoning my three children for those two months of reckless destruction. But he wasn't like anyone I had ever met before. Kind, loyal, strong, driven yet tender. I eventually came to my senses and returned home to my family but the damage had already been done. And my views on the Cardassian race ever changed. I see him in some of the people we've spoken to. A facial expression here, and flippant and proud retort there. And it keys me. Scars my heart when I'm reminded.
