Personal log, Amynta Markos.

I have to admit, a Nova class ship has never appealed to me before. It looked cramped, boring and in honesty just pure rubbish. But I am now seeing a different side to it. The people I have met from it are refreshing. The Captain is intelligent, witty and has a wicked side to her. My Chief is outstanding, and I understand where she is coming from. Makes a change really.

I still miss Carus. I dreamt of him last night. I don't like it. Sentimentality will get me nowhere and he would not approve either. I have tried my hand at some of the card games here, but was told off for counting cards. Not my fault I know that skill and God know I cannot unlearn it. It is hardly my fault. Stupid rules.

And yet I find myself constantly following rules. I sometimes wish I could disregard them completely. But then again, that would make me everything I hate rather than something that I love. Fate is funny that way. I have enough rebellion in me to dislike obeying, yet I am too strict to consider other options.

Truth it, this is the only life there is for me. Here. Now.

No second chances.
