Personal log: Stardate 53360.80 (ref: 2376, May)

Well, it has been an interesting couple of months. Once I accepted my post with Admiral Dwyer, he set straight to work training me in Starfleet procedures. I even learned a few new self defense moves that I will spend time perfecting. I have been posted to the station, DS9, one that I know well, as Special attache to tactical. A klingon works in that department, oversees it actually, and he has become quite a legend, I understand. But, for the most part, he leaves me alone as I work with the training simulators of the stations holodeck.

I have enjoyed quite a refreshing taste of home, thanks to the many cookeries on board, and even managed to secure some Rihannsu ale, a special treat, to be sure! What I am learning in such a short time would fill a book. The Tal Shiar were structured, but their compartmentalization meant that little of this knowledge would go beyond the individual needing specific information. These Federation types seem to want to share everything, to let everyone know how to do a job, in case someone gets taken out.

It's good. And, thanks to the war, I have been largely accepted. No indication that anyone recognizes me from my past, or that I have anything to fear...yet, something nags. Some hidden part that won't let go. That I made the right choice 2 years ago is readily apparent. Despite the loss of my Tal Shiar rank, I am still respectable, and receive the courtesy of any Starfleet officer. Admiral Dwyer has been true to his word, and covered my background completely. As far as I know, no one here knows my true identity, and he has promised only the Senior Officers of my new ship will be privy to the information.

Which brings me to this post. It appears that the U.S.S. Hartington, an Ambassador class vessel is my next home. I have heard that I am being considered for the post of Tactical Officer, and will be shipping into the Gamma Quadrant. Excellent! I relish the opportunity to travel and explore, to not have to spy, hide, run, or be on my own again. I must find within myself the ability to work as part of a team, a shipmate.

Can I do it? Yes, I believe I can. I have survived 20 years in Tal Shiar service, done things for my Empire that many men could never do, even killed. Now, I belong to a new service, one that believes in peace first, defense if necessary, aggression as a last resort.

In reading the bios and ship's logs, I believe I will find an ally in the Chief Security officer, this Major Ludwigson. Human names! But, there will be others to be brought into line, corrected in thinking, and watched.

Vrassoc, for example. I don't know him, but then the Tal Shiar is the 2nd largest force on Romulus. Perhaps he will not know me. At any rate, it is irrelevant. Whatever enemies I have made over the years will now need to go through Starfleet to reach me, and that is a comforting thought. Maybe things will be all right after all. Time will tell.

uvek out.

I suppose, good sir, that I am one of that sort.

Master At Arms:

Your experiences and qualifications are beyond question. However, your mental state appears to need focus.

This will be an opportunity to focus on techniques that will bring your feelings into line. Of course, Vulcan mental discipline is nothing to scoff at, I know, but there are other, more physical means that may be well suited for this purpose.

Given your current level of experience, I believe it is time to re-focus from weaponry to other more visceral skills.

Noted, good sir. And what exactly is meant by visceral skills? Something akin to the martial arts? Such as sambo which I frequently practice?

MAA Koester,

We will have ample opportunity to discuss this when our postings are official. Until then, I hope you will trust me when I say I find you to be a valuable resource and member of the Hartington crew.

There will no doubt be an adjustment period for all of us. However, my goal is the same as every officer and staff member here. A goal you no doubt share and will see through. The exploration of the Gamma Quadrant and the safe return of all souls aboard.

Until we meet and can discuss our situation in person, I suggest you continue to work on the realization that members of a race acted inappropriately during the last 4 years. No one on this crew has harmed you in anyway and, whether Dominion or Cardassian, they need to be (and in fact I'm sure will be) treated with the same respect and recognition given to you.
