I'm not sure where to begin.
Saveena............. she....................... (The sound of pacing, and a deep breath) I had a dream about my mother. It was so real, as real as I'm standing here now. it was a few nights ago but I'm still thinking about it. I can't seem to get it out of my head at the moment.
Caroline gave me something to monitor my sleep patterns but I felt like I needed to talk to someone about it. Caroline is better than any doctor I've seen by far and she's great but.....
I've just returned from Saveena's. I must have been asleep there for a while. She's wonderful. Just talking to her really made me feel better and feeling so safe and secure in her arms. I feel like she really understands me.
There are times when talking about her own past, she gets this funny look and her voice looses all its emotion, it's like she's reciting something from a manual rather than recalling actual events. There is something wrong here, but I'm not sure what it is or how I can help her other by just being there for her.
Since she really helped me I want to do something special for her. I'm going to do some research and see if I can find something she really likes to eat, maybe something from her childhood as a thank you. I'm sure I'll be able to find something. As a special touch I'm hopefully going to try and make as much of it myself as I can. The replicator is good, but I think it needs the human touch.
Another thing. After talking with her she made me realise I've been putting off opening the storage box left by my parents for far too long. Now that I think about it, I don't really know why. I think it comes down to fear I guess.
I want Saveena to be there when I open it. I don't know what I'm going to find in there and I'll probably need her support. That, and a larger amount of Aldeberan whisky.
Cale seems to be fitting in to his XO position nicely, but his newfound empathic talents are causing him some troubles. Hopefully, with the Vulcan nurse's help, he can gain some sort of control. Ikiri is still in sickbay, I'll have to go and see how he's doing.
The Romulan situation has ended but tension is still running rather high. It seems they gave up just a bit too easily after almost causing an interstellar incident. I've heard some pods have been recovered from the crashed ship that was found. If what Carson says about the ship and its crew are true, this dose not bode well. Not well at all.
