Personal log, Commander Sonya Gomez, planet Sarindar, Stardate 53289.4
Iâm a complete idiot.
I made the biggest mistake you can makeâhumanizing a machine. Well, maybe âanimalizingâ is more accurate. But I should have realized that my idea wasnât going to work.
The ruby-like flowers werenât what lured the shii to the trap in the first place, it was the three Nalori. It was looking for more food to collect for its masters. Because itâs a machine. Machines do what theyâre programmed to do, and this one is programmed to kill animals and decapitate them so their masters can eat.
So, naturally, when you collect everyone in one spot, thatâs where itâs going to go.
God, itâs like Iâm a green ensign back on the Enterprise again. And now fifteen more people are dead, and itâs my fault. Iâm supposed to be in charge, and all Iâve done is get people killed.
One of the workersâI donât even know his nameâjust came in and asked me to perform the funeral rites again. I was surprised at this, but he said something that surprised me even more:
âIt is not your fault, Commander, it is ours. We fooled ourselves into thinking you were the sañuul, that you had lifted the curse of this miserable place. But you are, in the end, just a womanâas you yourself told us all along. You did not wish us to call you sañuul, and we should have listened. Instead, we are simply all victims of the curse of Sarindar.â
With that, he left.
I wish it made me feel better, but it doesnât even come close. Iâve failed in my duty here. And itâs past time I made up for it.
