Personal log of Commander R'nard Lokran.
The mission went better than expected, and it was something I have needed for quite a while. I felt cooped up in my past missions here, not able to do what I was capable of doing, trapped in the technology of Starfleet.
We have become much like the Borg, having our technology do all for us and taking us over, negating for the most part what is real about each species in Starfleet. In this, I regained much of what I lost.
It is strange, seeing the way my companions look at me, as if I was this demi-god or something, with abilities they could never master. They could not be more wrong.
There is nothing special about me or my abilities, it is something that everybody has within them, but they do not know it..yet.
They did not have the advantage of my life-long training in the Tralazar monastery, which began when I was only a very small cub. Something that was my very life, and energized me to do what seemed impossible. In fact, doing the impossible is the goal of my order.
To be at peace with the universe, yet fight like a demon, is the balance that is needed.
It is my hope that the others in my group sees that, and are able to see what has always been within themselves as well.
