and sometimes they start to worry me

I accepted this idea to try realigning the timeline, expecting to be the only Starfleet officer there, and somehow the first person I ran into was Kathryn. I'll call it a stroke of good luck and move on. If I try to make sense of it any other way, I doubt I'll be very successful. She seems to hail from a time long after my own, which can be both a good and bad thing. I can tell her everything I remember, but the Prime Directive prohibits her from saying anything past that. I'll likely never know what she knows.

That's all right. I'd like to know, but pressing for something like that would only destroy her sense of duty and ethics. I could never do that to her. Instead, I'll fall into the same position I always do. I'll follow her orders as my Captain and if I don't agree with them, I'll at least tell her what I think before I act on them. That's how we've always gotten along and I'd say it's served us well so far.
