A fresh start ... a new beginning. That's how I'm viewing the transfer to COLUMBIA. Admittedly, I haven't made any friends among my engineering staff -- according to the Captain, a couple have already asked to transfer out -- but working with friends has too many complications. I'm not going to make the same mistakes here as I did on ENTERPRISE. You can't be an effective leader if you allow friendship to get in the way.
But even at a distance, I find myself daydreaming about T'Pol. I'm not sure what that's all about, but I must make sure it doesn't happen again.
