Chaotic Neutral T’Lyn

computer, query: how does one find a female mate

Pride Month seems a fascinating and dare I say fabulous means of remembering the infinite diversity in infinite combinations that is humanoid sexuality and gender

to close with a traditional greeting for this time of year, Happy Brick Throwing Month, my trustworthy personal log.

the reason for this midday personal log is my learning of this human celebration called Pride Month (an entertaining nomenclature, given how the Bajoran year is not divided into months)—it originated in the late 21st century (standard Earth reckoning) on one of Earth’s northern continents

personal log, stardate 622025.9

today I had brunch at this Human restaurant that just opened on the Promenade 3 days, 5 hours, and 26 minutes ago.

The food was tasteless but the unexpected entertainment was intriguing. There were many rainbows and several entertainers in drag.

*attempt at making a personal log*

stardate…

computer, what is the stardate and where have I been these past few weeks? months? specify local station time and convert into standard vulcan system of temporal measurements

and woefully unprepared to step into the dating pool

unfortunately I do not

oh dear I believe I am in need of sexual intercourse

personal log: an update

after consulting with Dr. Bashir—I was overdue for my physical anyway—it turns out it was, to employ a human turn of phrase, just gas.

personal log

I am feeling the onset of pon farr and a bit out of sorts. Meditation to follow.

hmm Garak. Why does his name sound familiar

asking my new Deep Space 9 colleagues if any of you might know of a good tailor on station? my uniform from the replicator is in need of some adjustments

[insert meme of senator palpatine telling a young anakin “we will watch your career with great interest]

Fascinating. Not many in the Federation even knows the California class vessels exist but even unsung heroes, to use a Klingon turn of phrase, live and die with honor.

I am glad to hear that. As of late, it has been very odd not to be in their company. Please inform me the next time any of them visit.

Alas, I must return to my quarters. It’s been good to speak with you, lieutenant.

Horchata. Intriguing. I shall remember.

Yes, it was quite an experience

*cracks the faintest smile as she looks away almost nostalgically into the distance*

In that case, I shall be immensely grateful for my time spent on the Cerritos as preparation for this insanity

I shall try some of this English Breakfast tea tomorrow. Do you recommend any other Earth food or drink, given your time spent on that planet?

I appreciate that. When I served on the Shv’ahl, this would’ve been grounds for two days of intense mediation

I am also exploring human food and drink cultures. How is your… is that English First Meal tea?

Apologies, sir, my mind is scattered today. My current intake of caffeine may be to blame.

You sound well-read in Romulan history.

After finishing Spock’s holo-biography I became intrigued about their history, especially as it intersects our own being the Sundering. Book and holonovel recommendations would be much appreciated, sir.

personal log, stardate 202503.12

I have acquired a new hobby: Collecting painstakingly visualized data of complex planetary systems.

*replicates Saturnian system map to decorate new quarters*

this fact is partly why I remain committed to the teachings of Surak. Although occasionally warranted, progress should not require violence to be achieved.

*takes sip of vulcan tea*

regrettably, humanity’s volatile nature is akin to ours. It is unfortunate so much progress appeared to require such bloodshed.

okay, hear me out, a lord of the rings remake but with these two taking the One Ring to mordor:

yes a truly admirable period of human progress equivalent to what Surak gave to us Vulcans

ah if memory of human history serves me right, it was a tool of capitalism of primitive Earth up until The Luigi Incident of 2025

having met and befriended my own universe’s Mariner, this makes logical sense for her counterpart in your reality

Of fascinating note, Bajoran orchids are not to be confused with the Terran Orchidaceae nor with the Vulcan equivalent.

Curious how the evolution of life across three separate planets contain infinite diversity yet at times reveal surprising parallels.
