I suppose if it brings you fulfillment it is not a silly wish
I suppose if it brings you fulfillment it is not a silly wish
You may, if you so choose
My wish? I don't wish for much, a bit of prosperity, a little success, a full dinner bowl and a warm bed. Not such a big ask of the universe
There is joy to be had even in dark times. The coolness of water on the lips, the light of a winter sunset, a warm breathed partner waiting to hear your step at their door.
I don't waste time on wishes, I seek to fulfill my dreams through action
I dream of the stars and our relentless advancement through them. To walk on alien worlds, to see a sun never before seen by Romulan eyes break the dawn.
When I look up at them, feet firmly planted upon a planet, I hear them calling.
Wishing on shooting stars, as if space dust has a hand in Fate
The calling of the Endless Sky encourages me to wake each day renewed; I am a simple man after all
I'm not taking it personal at all, e'lev.
I'm sure if you hated me you would spread vicious slander like a Ferengi trying to drum up business
You wound me, truly, your words like a dagger through my ribs...if I cared about your thoughts I am sure my pride would surely be smarting
Oh, of course not, you merely wish to bully me for no reason. A huffy air, dark eyes flashing...not flirtatious at all
Ahh, you flatter me...such sweet words
Emm? Is there an issue deviling you?
Oh, and why do you feel so inclined to do that, e'lev?
Indeed, I fear I have been busy at work
Hmmm?
You disagree?
Hmm

"I wanted you to know I don't blame you, commander. You've always been an excellent officer, that is what's saved you, no one could make a case that you were anything less than a loyal Imperial officer. You retain your ship, your rank, your crew...less-
-and got him to defect?! We are given out that he is on leave until we can get a handle on the fallout. Your officer is an unfortunate casualty in this...I am leaning toward needing to kill Spock and cutting off the mogai's head."
"You did everything right, you hold no blame in this. If you'd engaged the Enterprise it would've started a war and this...little internal matter...would have been splashed across the holonet. It's bad enough that these disruptive agents are skulking about but that they've corrupted M'Ret-
-are rewriting what happened. You know how it goes...you could've lost command or much worse."
