Hi Dad.
I know it's been a bit since I've sent a message like this...we usually just chat live...but I don't have time to call, and considering the conditions, it probably wouldn't be authorized anyway.
So, I flew the ship! The Artemis is an incredible vessel! State of the art, and the crew...they are incredible too. I still don't know why Grant chose me to take a shift at the helm, what with me only being a Midshipman, but...he did - and I am so grateful. While at the Conn we encountered an unauthorized ship and Captain Crawford decided to board it. I'll give you specifics when I can, just know it was pretty intense...but you were a Starfleet officer, haha, among other things - I'm the last person to brag about enduring something intense.
Just know that it was a heck of a first shift at the helm of a Federation Starship, and it'll make a great story to share over hasparat and tranya...
Or it will be...I hope I get the chance to tell you.
I've been chosen for an away mission duty - I'm not sure what I can tell you right now, but it's dangerous. The people on the team are the best on the ship though, so try not to worry. By the time you get this, it'll probably be over...
Anyway, Dad, I just wanted to tell you that I'm living my dream. I'm flying - for real - and I'm making friends of the people here. I am so proud to be part of this crew, and I hope that I make you proud...and...I guess Mother too. But more than that, I just want to do right by the Artemis and what we are doing on behalf of Bajor, Trill and the rest of the UFP. I just want to make sure that I earn my place here...my fortunate, incredible place....here.
I have to go. I just wanted to touch your pagh for a moment, even if it isn't live.
I'll comm you as soon as I can.
I love you Dad. Say hello to Tria and Ralora for me.
