Personal log, Stardate 91526.3
I received a message today that I thought impossible. It said simply, "Come home."
Only two men would have sent that message, and it seems as the less likely sent it. K'Pomak, my husband. His voice still resonates in my heart as it once did, even it echoes through my nightmares.
I can only speculate as to why the old targ would summon me now, of all times. Perhaps he is dying and wants to humiliate me one last time. Perhaps his dishonor has caught up with either him or K'vok and he wants to remove the stain once and for all. Or perhaps he'd like me to do that for him.
Or perhaps it's simply a trick. A ruse to get me to return to Qo'nos and corner me, at once redeeming his past failures in a way that would compromise my brother's position and my family's name.
Regardless of the reason, should I go, it is unlikely I would be returning soon. Too much unfinished business waits on Qo'nos. Too many burdens.
It's funny. I've always kept my own counsel. "Too headstrong," mother would say. Yet right now, I would pay latinum for someone to talk to, to finally explain what happened so long ago, why I couldn't stay, and why I fear returning.
My father once said, "One day, you will learn that though you should never live in the past, your past will design your future."
I think that day has come. I must prepare.
