Star Trek The Next Generation

Savior

From the logs of Dr. Beverly Crusher

It's been three years since I have left the Enterprise in order to get away from the stress of being around Captain Jean Luc Picard. I needed to expand myself on another vessel after my son Wesley now old enough to serve on his very own vessel called The Aurora.

As part of the crew. Wesley had decided to take over the field of Navigation. Ever since he had come back with traveling with the time traveler. Until he was ready to change his life once again.

Dr. Beverly Crusher remembered the day she told Captain Picard about her decision on leaving.

Three years prior

Captain Picard coming from a shore leave on Betazed spending a few days with Deanna Troi and Commander Ryker. He had no idea that his Chief Medical Officer was planning on leaving the Enterprise.

Even though Deanna Troi had suspicious she might make a change in her career. One of the main reasons was the fact her friendship with Picard, wasn't going any where after several attempts over the years to get together again in the romance department.

Though Beverly Crusher was going to tell him in person. Knowing full well he was going to be coming back in a few days. She decided to leave him a personnel message to be opened once he arrived back onto the Enterprise.

Deanna Troi was waiting for Picard to come back from packing up his things. She and her friend Will Ryker were waiting for him at the beam up point.

"Will...You get the feeling the captain hasn't been all this happy of late?" She says with kissing him on his cheek while there were others passing them by in the court yard.

"In a way Deanna. Maybe it has something to do with Dr. Crusher." Looking around to see on whether Captain Picard was on the way over to them.

"Lately Will, I have been sensing something coming from Beverly that she hasn't all been happy. She might have been thinking of making a career change. In order to get away from the ghosts of the past concerning herself and Picard."

"Maybe it's why the captain hasn't been acting right lately for when it comes to her and running the Enterprise." Ryker says with finally seeing the Captain slowly walking over to the two inside of the court yard. "He's here Deanna. We need to discuss this further on the Enterprise."

"I agree Will." She says quickly and quietly in order not to have the captain here the general conversation about his Chief Medical Officer.

Taking a moment for him to walk over to his officers and friends. He was finally ready to beam up to the Enterprise to get back into his regular routine of running the Federation vessel. "I' m sorry for being late everyone. I just couldn't get myself motivated this morning. So is everyone ready to beam back up to the ship?" He asked with hearing the both of them answer in unison.

"We are Captain Picard."

They both said in unison before beaming up.
