=/\= Personal Log: Ensign Zara Qiri. =/\=

I’ve arrived at my assignment. The Elysium is even larger than I'd imagined. First of her kind. One could get lost in it if she wanted to. I’ve been advised by the shuttle pilot that Deck 10 is an island unto itself, like a town centre, bustling with activity and life. Noted, avoid Deck 10.

London has been a lovely place to return to, I might almost say I’d gotten used to living there again, but I’m glad to be up and away. Reconnecting with mum and dad, and Nell and little Emran... after so long, it was difficult. I can't say I'm happy to be leaving, but I'd be lying to say that I'm not relieved that the pressure to act—normal—around them, is behind me.

I haven't felt my nerves like this since the final battery of exams at the Academy. Butterflies in the stomach. Get it sorted, Zara. You've got a lot to prove to... everyone. That you're not who you were when Starfleet found you. When... dad found you. Chin up. Eyes forward, antennae aft.
