Michael entered his quarters; he was still wearing his off-duty jeans and a plain T-shirt. He brushed his long hair out of his eyes as he threw his big on the bed. He looked around the room, then sat down on the bed. He pulled a picture out of his bag of his brother and him; the last picture he had before his brother disappeared.
“Well Steven it wasn’t easy and almost didn’t make it, I hope I do you proud and honor your memory. I really miss you.”
He put the picture on the desk; he still had time before he had time before he was supposed to report for duty. He quickly changed into his uniform. Then got a PADD out and began writing a letter to his mother. She was the only one who supported his decision to follow in Steven’s footsteps and join Starfleet.
Mom, I arrived on the Zephyr this morning and am waiting to report for duty. I hope dad keeps his promise about his drinking. The quarters here are slightly larger than my quarters at the academy.
I’m sorry I didn’t have time to come home after graduation. Shawn and K’Tor have been assigned to other ships I didn’t have a chance to see them before they left either. Next time I’m back on Earth I hope to see you.
If you see dad tell him I love him, and I will watch out for myself and I will honor Steven’s memory.
Love Michael.
The letter was short, but it would make his mom happy to receive it. He often wonders if Steven thought about his family before his ship was attacked.
Does no good to think about things you will never have the answers to. Steven would have put his duty first and done what he could to help his crew and that is what you have to do to honor his memory.
He touched the tattoo on his arm that he got of a phoenix and cross as he stared into his own blue eyes looking in the mirror.
"I'll do my best to honor your memory big brother."
Michael lay on the bed and got lost in thought while waiting to report.
