James walked into his quarters after one of his shifts, and sighed, as he was decently fatigued from the day. "Computer, replicate coffee, with cream, and please begin personal log." He pulled the warm drink out of the replicator, before beginning his personal log. "Personal Log, James Phoenix. Currently, I have just returned from one of my shifts. While it wasn't too tiring, this whole week, has resulted in a decent amount of fatigue. However, that isn't why I'm making this log. I'm making this log, because I have had a Flashback. One in particular, I choose to forget, which seems like it might be impossible to do so now. I haven't had one like this since the Academy. I wonder if it could be because of the rumors." While making his log, James stared into the vast vacuum of space, which was right outside his window of his quarters. "However, I won't be going into detail, as this memory is too painful to remember. But, You know, something about being in orbit around a planet, and seeing a planet from space, also poses as a distraction. However, I do hope that that flashback was a one time thing. Computer, end log."
