Musings While Confined

ON: [[Earlond's Quarters, MD02, 2300]]

I have been confined to my quarters for some time now. I do not fault Iluvar for his decision; my actions left him no choice. However, given the choice, I would do it again. No one wanted to leave the issue unresolved in that colony, but Iluvar’s hands were tied by his status as task force commanding officer and as the Pandora's commanding officer. I knew that I could take the fall far better than he could, so I sent the team in secret. I would never have imagined that we would have to leave them out there. Michael is an excellent officer, however, and his team is more than competent. I have no doubt that they’ll be fine, despite our lack of contact with them.

In hindsight, it’s good that I made sure I was the only one involved in the teams formation and sending off. From what I hear, someone’s got it in for Iluvar; he can’t afford to have any evidence against him. I’m sure this Mercer guy would love to pin my actions on Iluvar; I only hope that – if this is, indeed, the case – I am able to take responsibility and account for my actions in court.
