This is Christine Chapel; leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

If this is an emergency, put down your communicator and go get some help.

Someone with a device registered under 'Kirk' has requested I preemptively remove you from your volunteering position. I told him to take the request to you instead.

If you have changed your mind, tell me before I have reason to call upon you.

[mynameischristine]

If I had changed my mind you would have heard it directly from me.

Kirk is my commanding officer back home. Please don't judge him harshly for his request; he feels a sense of responsibility to those who serve with him. He likely believed asking to release me from our arrangement was to my benefit.

I assure you, our arrangement remains unchanged. I do thank you for your courtesy in checking with me.

I will judge him less harshly, then.

[mynameischristine]

Thank you.

He can be brash and apparently disrespectful at times--he's a man who leads with his heart rather than his head. But he's a good man. We don't know each other well enough yet for my opinion to have any real meaning, but I trust him implicitly, and I respect him.

I don't believe he resides in District 4, but should a situation ever arise where his assistance was needed I don't believe he would hesitate to give it.

So far he has shown to me anger and an eagerness to protect his own people. I cannot trust that he will do the same for my own. He has offered his services and given voice to his qualifications, but I have no need for the headstrong. Having heart is admirable, but the men I need are those who can also put aside themselves for the sake of the brother or sister next to them. Perhaps he has shown this quality to members of his fleet, but I do not believe he has the understanding nor desire to lay his life down for people in my district.

In the future, when his vision clears, my opinion can change. For now, it will not.

TEXT

[mynameischristine]

The fact that you are willing to reconsider your position should he first reconsider his or show more of the qualities you find necessary is more than fair. I appreciate your openness to the possibility.

Adaptation is a necessity to survival - on both sides.

TEXT

[mynameischristine]

Indeed. I hope it's something we can continue to foster--on both sides.
