I spoke about my situation with Paul Graves. He seemed to be shocked with it, albeit understanding with me. It's made me feel a bit less alone in the situation and a sense of release. However, it's not quite over. He said I should definitely talk to Drake about, which I will. I am finding myself putting it off though, I met with Patrick to go Orchids & Jazz and in doing so Lt. Shepard actually walked in, back from his away mission...
...So I asked him to pop by the office that afternoon so we could debrief each other. Really I was just delaying Drake for another day. Both Paul and I know the negative reaction he will have about all of this, but it's better that then letting both of us and the starbase get destroyed for the sake of this. The relationship between the command staff should be positive and one built of trust, and currently it is not. We need to either come together or go separate ways, somehow I need to do that without my career being affected.

I had the joys of meeting Lt. Collins the other day in the Science Department. I do miss my Xenology work and decided to pay a visit to her in the Science department. She was not what I expected, she seemed to have social problems. That sounds a bit harsh then what I meant, but she seemed to lighten up towards the end of our meet. Plus her adorable dog Oscar seemed to help her with that as well. In terms of her work though, it's outstanding. I must say I was a little bit jealous that she got to do everything she showed me, but I wouldn't take her position from her. Being able to see her enthusiasm and passion for the whole department made me happier inside to know that these kinds of people exist. I suppose Jade Lantz is another one. Her passion for Jazz, and I guess Orchids has made her set up one of the best places I've ever been to. I used to have the same enthusiasm and passion for certain things, but with all the promotions and expectations, they seem to get less and less...

...I hope I am able to see the other labs at a later date as I get a buzz just thinking about what else Lt. Collins has up her sleeve. Hopefully she will find a way to come out of her shell and be able to show the other senior staff members aboard how amazing she is. Although there are a lot of egos and personalities to deal with, so that might take even longer. Anyway, I'm going to sign off now. The day I speak to Drake is quickly approaching. This will change everything.
