Personal Log – Deanna Troi

Space… the Final Frontier.

 

These are the voyages of the Starship...Enterprise. Its continuing mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE...

 

That is the mission of this vessel…

My mother Luxanna Troi (a force of nature in her own right) has kept a journal for as long as I can remember. I on the other hand have had no such urge… until now.  We are about to welcome a new Captain, First Officer, Engineer and Doctor… seems as good a time as any to start a journal.

 

So let me introduce myself just in case an archaeologist were to find this (hee hee!) I am Deanna Troi: half Human and half Betazed, raised on Betazed.  My people (Betazed) are a physic race.  I am an empathic and a telepathic; tools I find quite useful in my work. After years studying Psychiatry and serving all over the galaxy… I am now on the flagship: ENTERPRISE! and I am the ship’s Counselor. 

 

Of the new officers joining I know (in the biblical sense at that) the First Officer. William T. Riker.  My first love and my Imzadi.

 

Imzadi… If I must explain then this is as close as language will allow.  Imzadi is the soul mate… the missing rib.  The one you are made for and finding them will make you complete.  Without your Imzadi you do not live you exist. You may think that you are living but you are only existing.  An inadequate explanation but there you have it.

 

On the way to collecting the officers we had an encounter with a being called Q.  I suspect that this is the first of many encounters with Q the omnificent one.  Also I believe that life on the Enterprise will be nothing like serving elsewhere.  It seems that Q has now placed mankind on alert… and Enterprise as the microcosmic representative of the race.  We slip and the species slides.

 

Talk about pressure!

 

We eventually arrived at Farpoint where Will joined us; his first test being to rejoin the saucer section with the rest of the ship. We had separated in the face of the threat posed by Q.

His second test was facing me.  I was expecting him but not the emotions that flowed out of him.  We agreed that the past should stay there but the force of what I felt from him and for him was surprising to say the least!

 

Oh yes life onboard the Enterprise will indeed be interesting!
