Sulu's POV
Commander. I hope you are recovering well. I…well; Doctor McCoy for some reason wanted me to tell you about the Vorak incident. I had a split second to decide whether to destroy the Vorak or the Shoalwater. Turned out the Shoalwater was derelict, but I didn't know it. I could have destroyed the Vorak and it was carrying a hundred school kids to Betazed. I don't know how I would have lived with myself if I'd chosen the Vorak. Either way, Starbase 11 was saved. But it haunts me. Knowing how close I came. They say the end can justify the means, but…it was a crapshoot at the moment. I think about that often. How I made a choice without knowing the consequences except in hindsight. Oh. Yes, I forgot to mention I did spend time in counseling learning to deal with it, though. It was surprisingly helpful.
Feel better soon, sir.
