Personal Log Stardate 47004.4
After talking with Vedek Marsel, and reviewing the Klingon doctor’s work on Bajor, I am so very homesick.

Having grown up on Usal IV, I’ve never spent much time on my home world. I’ve visited only once the Cardassians left, right after Bajor was liberated. What a glorious homecoming that was! I don’t think I have time to visit before I take command of the Avenger. I miss my people as well. I haven’t been lucky enough to be assigned with other Starfleet Bajorans yet. It’s my hope (and I did make a request of Admiral Verata) that I’ll have some Bajorans in my crew. I hate attending services alone. Our religion, our faith, our culture is communal; we need to be with our own kind. It would cheer me to no end to have half a dozen or so Bajorans assigned to the ship.
