RESOLVE

by T'Lin 0110.15

I find my situation difficult, but tolerable. I am becoming accustomed to the barrage of emotions. I do not share their enthusiasm, but understand it, to a degree.

I am perplexed, however, by Hoshi Sato. Her skill is beyond anything I have experienced, yet her fear of the unknown nearly cripples her. She could very well be a liability instead of an asset in a first contact situation.

Since the captain is refusing her request to return home, I must do what I can to teach her arie'mnu … if not for herself, then for the safety of the crew.

Note: arie'mnu - Vulcan word meaning "Passions Mastery"
