Today must have been one of the worst days of my life. Not because of the Klingon ship, that decided that today was a good day to die, but because of all things, my voice broke. And it decided to do this on the bridge, in front of everyone, whilst I was broadcasting today's mission over the com. I could have died as the captain and McCoy burst out laughing. I told them to stop only to have "stop" jump several notes higher. By this time even Sulu was laughing at me. It was horrible. I tried not to speak for the rest of the day but sometimes I forgot and accidentally squeaked out words.
I managed through the next day alright and thought it had passed but No, the universe was just storing it up to dump on me at its next possible convenience. This happened to be as I was chatting with Yeoman Dills She was laughing and everything was going great till my words mangled into an unintelligible squeak. I was mortified. She just looked at me as if I had grown two heads. I could feel myself going beetroot and then she shook her head and walked away muttering about kids. Maintenance is still trying to work out how the dint in the wall got there.

Shortly after my voice fiasco I had a run in with Kevin Riley. He was mocking my accent and went white when he saw me. I simply glared at him and marched past. He made noises at my back and carried on down the corridor. By the time I reached the mess hall I was trembling with rage. I joined Sulu and Scotty at the normal tabled and sat down with a huff. Scotty asked what was wrong and I told him about Yeoman Dills and Riley. I explained how angry it made me to be treated like a child and that my accent wasn't as funny as everyone thought. When I finished my explanation I looked at him. He was staring at me blankly. I knew he hadn't understood a word I had just said and this made me even angrier. I don't know why. And when Sulu asked me to repeat it I lost my temper. I screamed at him and told him how hard it is to mentally translate from Russian to English and I was sorry it came with an accent but half the time I couldn't understand their accents. Mr Scots` Scottish accent confuses the hell out of me and so does doctor McCoy`s with all their phrases and words for words that already existed. In my fury I fail to notice that the rest of the mess hall has stopped to watch and as I march out again I spot Mr Spock and the captain looking at me. My anger turns to embarrassment but I do not stop until I reach my quarters. There I lay down on my bed and punch my pillow as hard as I could. Stupid Sulu stupid Riley stupid Scotty and more over stupid me. Although they were my friends I had yelled and screamed at two superior officers in the presence of the captain and his first. I said good bye to my career.
