The last few months had been a blur but somehow through it all JT found himself back on a runabout returning to the Memorial. When he had left several months ago he did so as an LTjg and the ships helmsman. Today he found himself wearing the pips of a LtCMDR and returning as the ships XO. No doubt there would be questions as to the hows and whys, both to his promotion but also his disappearance. Sadly orders were going to prevent him from disclosing much, but to say it had been an eventful trip would be an insult to understatements. His medical report would also be fun to go over with the doctor, lord knows they like the details of broken ribs, and internal trauma. Sadly they would just need to settle for the ‘whats’ and not worry about the ‘hows’.

As JT continued to try and remember all that had happened, there was a blip on his scanners. Looking down he could see the Memorial coming into range. “Home sweet home” he thought to himself before sending out a hail.
