Time to reflect

Personal Log, Lieutenant Commander Jonathan Keller, Chief Security Officer, USS Callisto.

Another mission in the books, though this one has left me with more questions than answers. The crew performed admirably, and for that, I’m proud. But I can’t shake the feeling that something went wrong… something we missed.

As many of the wonderful missions for the current campaign are coming to a close, it’s time for our characters to reflect on their journeys. What did they encounter, and how do they feel about the outcome?

In this competition, you are asked to create a personal log from the point of view of a character from your primary command. This log should recount the missions from their perspective, focusing not just on the events that transpired, but on how this specific character feels about what they encountered. What emotions, challenges, or revelations have they faced? How has the mission changed them, or left them with lingering questions?

This is your chance to delve deep into your character’s internal world and reflect on how their role and actions have impacted them personally.
