Thank you, Historian, for this account of my father’s life. I try every day to honor his lasting memory, to defend my people, yes, but live for peace, not war.

You do well. I hope we can achieve it.

I’ll recover

Its… it’s alright

So it did…

Indeed.

Hm? We’re picking a small transport ship on orbit on long-range sensors. It looks to be fairly minimally armed. Maybe some other ally of the old Praetor?

I’m sure someone can.

Great, I’ll ask around if anyone’s looking.

Anytime.

I’ll let you know if I find any friends I could set you up with

I wish you good fortune

Confidence can be difficult to have, even for a starship commander

Why wouldn’t they? You’re a wonderful person. Just because he couldn’t appreciate you doesn’t mean no one else will.

Understandable anxiety, I’ve been taking things slow myself… for the most part.

I just think maybe it could be good for you. I dunno.

Right…

Have you considered… finding someone new?

And I’ll try to be a good one. Try to see the best in things. Dhael.

And look after those kids. I know what it’s like to lose a father.

I find that admirable.

We should be at Glintara soon.

I’m sorry that happened. It was kind of the Bajorans to try to help us, and ships are always good to have, but D’Tan *can* be rather reserved at times. Some of the Vulcan disciplines he picked up in the underground, maybe.

That’s nonsense, you have a wonderful family, and friends, like me.

Dhael, you seem down… what’s wrong?
