Family History
My teacher here on the Tycho Brahe wants all her new students to write their family's history and read it to the class. I will now read what I wrote into my personal log.
My Father's father is Seceyl, who teaches at the Vulcan Science Academy. He is a physicist. His wife is T'penn, who teaches Biology at the Academy. My father, Seraat, is 47 and head of Astrophysics on board this ship. He's a Lieutenant Commander.
My Mother's father is K'plarr, who teaches hand-to-hand combat at the Klingon Military Academy. His wife is Ley'sarr, and she is a physician. My mother is 30, and helps in the arboretum.
My father was serving aboard the Xiang Zhao when an ion storm destroyed the ship. He was injured, but made it to an escape pod. He found out later that most of the escape pods that got away were also destroyed by the storm. Two other crew members survived, and were later rescued. Father's pod was carried by the storm into Klingon space, where he was able to land it on an M-class world. The COMM system was damaged, and he could not repair it, so he was stuck there.
The planet was inhabited by a Klingon religious sect, that in Federation Standard would be called The Seekers Of The Essence, of which my mother was a member. Their goal was to try and find the deeper meaning of the teaching of Kahless. They felt the best way to do this was to separate themselves from all other people and all technology and, in surviving day to day as a group, they could find the true goal of a life of honor.
They decided not to kill Father, for which he was grateful. Later, he and Mother decided to marry, and I was born. When I was a year old, a transport arrived bringing new members of the sect, and we left.
We returned to Vulcan. Father's first wife had been told that he'd died, so she re-married and had a child. As she and Father had no children, it was decided that it would be left like that. It's just as well. I don't think she likes me very much.
Father started working at the Academy with my Forefather, doing research. Mother worked some with the Klingon Consulate, and also tended a garden with my Foremother.
The first time we travelled to Q'onos to visit my mother's family, Father broke K'plarr's arm, but they like each other now, and I like visiting there. Mother, Saareyl, my little sister, and I went there before coming to the Tycho Brahe, and my friend B'lar and I killed a Targ. B'lar's 11, and her father teaches at the Klingon Military Academy with my Forefather.
Anyway, I'm 8, and we're new on the ship, but so is everybody else right now, so that's all right. And that's my family's history.
