A Letter Home

By

Ensign Sam Donnerjack
 

 

 

Dear Insa'lari,

 

I know it has been three years since my last letter, but I felt I should write 
and let you know how things are for me. Having been out of Starfleet Academy 
for a little under a year now, I have been assigned to the USS Meridian.

 

I feel I should tell you by now, that when I joined Starfleet, I assumed the 
name Sam Donnerjack, mainly so father couldn't find me. I didn't need him 
hunting me down, and dragging me back home.  I already have enough trouble with 
him.

 

I have had many adventures since I was assigned to the Meridian, from the Borg, 
to corrupt politicians. My fellow crewmembers are like a second family for me, 
and I have not been lonely since my arrival on the Meridian, Even though I have 
missed you.

 

I have some news, even father may not like, as I have followed my dreams and 
become an Engineer. I know he wanted me to be a stronger warrior like himself, 
but fighting was always boring for me, but creating things with my hands, and 
other such things, bring me such joy. Just the other day, I saved the life of 
every member of the crew. All in a days work though, especially for an 
Engineer. 

 

I have never realized how much strife and suffering there was in this universe, 
until I could see it all. It is horrible. It seems like every other mission has 
us either: fighting off someone who wants to rule something or someone, or 
stopping somone's plans to make a deadly and scary weapon of mass destruction. 
However, I feel that I am helping to bring peace to the universe, one planet at 
a time.

 

On an upside even father may appreciate, I showed my true warrior spirit not to 
long ago, and resisted an evil madman's attempt at torture, but alas I wont 
have any scars to show for it.

 

Tell everyone I'm doing well and look forward to the day when I can come home, 
and see everyone again. 

 

Your loving son,

 

Is'leian
