Personal Log, Stardate 69343.8

I met one of the new medical officers today. Tall, nice physique, freckles...British islands accent. Maybe a ginger but I don't care. She's beautiful. It's been a long time since I felt anything romantic for someone. Doc Allyndra was the last one. I...still miss her. But we're worlds apart in our cultures and species. She never deserved someone like me. A grunt.

Not that Ember does; that's her name, I learned. Rice and I did some combat training in the holodeck and cut each other up a little. When we went to sickbay to get checked out afterwards, she was there along with the new Ba'ku counselor I met on Regula I. Karras. He's a total pacifist. That's not a bad thing, but I don't think he understands me. I tried taking him into a drop simulation on the holodeck and he did pretty well. Didn't puke on the way down but also didn't want to touch his weapon. I think he's concerned about me now. Asked me if I wanted to talk about things. Yeah, I want to talk about Ember.

Computer, reorganize log and delete references to Karras

So back to the point. When we went into sickbay, Ember started telling me about ancient Earth. Historical stuff. Something about this soldier named Leonidas and one of his battles. A thousand versus 300. So, I can tell she likes a real man...one with combat experience. And I'm that guy. I'm about to do some research in the computer database and try to program a recreation simulation where I'm Leonidas. Why not? That old man doesn't have a step on me, even in his prime. Just have to figure out what kind of costumes they wore back in the day...3,000 years ago...
