Chief Counsellors Log Number One, Lieutenant JG Eradaar Ezazzan speaking.
It has been a week since I departed the USS Poseidon and left my mate, Lieutenant Lazarus Kord, behind. Whilst we have kept close contact with one another, I would be greatly remiss in stating anything other than a great sadness at our parting. Lazarus has been my rock and foundation since the very inceptions of our feelings for one another. I understand now a few things about us, about our situation and uniqueness.
Lazarus was an outcast in his own home. His situation I cannot state here openly, but he was essentially a refugee from another place. I came along with another set of unique circumstances and, eventually, we found that uniqueness an attraction. I often wonder had things been different, had we as Gorn been so populated and abundant, that Lazarus would have still shown affection for me? Would he have sought another female? Would he had given me up when my womb was discovered to be barren? Am I forcing him instead to choose the only option? I lay awake some nights thinking these things, but everytime I mention them, he tells me not to worry.
He tells me he loves me, regardless. And I believe him.
I sit now in the waiting area at Starbase 92, preparing for my shuttle flight to connect me with another flight to the USS Missouri. My understanding is that they are in a tense situation at the moment, but I have not been readily briefed. I intend to continue catching up on my Counselling lessons as well as federation-specific psychology lessons. I have reviewed the most abundant species on the Missouri and have taken into consideration their cultures and how they treat their emotionally vulnerable. The time between here and the Missouri will be, must be, spent doing what I must to prepare for this most prestigious station.
Computer, end log.
