Computer this is so infuriating. Play Parla Più Piano.
Nessuno sa la verità, / neppure il cielo che ci guarda da lassù, but we can try to learn what we can from each other.
You know, I have copied a lot of files here, mostly of the “ask me” kind. There was, among everything else, a list of philosophical questions, including this one: “Is a “wrong” act okay if nobody ever knows about it?” The answer to that would be of course more complicated than a simple yes or no, the base line being, “Did the act itself harm anyone?” There is a difference between, ahem, picking your nose and commiting a murder. I believe there was harm done in what I was manipulated into doing. The fact that the history does not know seems more like distorting it.
But I do appreciate you willing to forgive whatever I might have done. You are also very right that I am somewhat disconnected from the consequences of my actions.
As for the point, there has been no threats related to leaving the organisation or sharing information about it. The process was unpleasant, yes, but it was presented to me rather like I was a rebellious child leaving a loving family. “You are wrong, but we forgive you, and we will be waiting for you to come around again.” Whether this was a standard procedure or a special manipulation for me, knowing I joined them shortly after breaking up with my own family, I do not know. I did dislike the actions, not the people, and they made a great job convincing me that approving of a person means accepting their actions… So much gaslight can harm anyone’s eyesight.
On the other hand, I would have never believed they even exist if I had not been contacted by an agent. We do have a boogeyman or two these days, and some people are as sceptical about clandestine Starfleet spies as they are about carnivorous black holes that travel through space and hunt spaceships. There are many conspirologists that study the Section, or, now that I think about it, it is more likely to be called a conspirologist if you bring up the number “31”. I understand how such people may give you greers creeps; still, they seem not to have turned into anything that distasteful yet. Collecting the data I need may be a little difficult because some is classified and some disguised, yet I will try my best. I might even ask a certain Trip to help me, he is always so enthusiastic about breaking into secrets. And I will prepare a detailed description of “my” missions for you. In case anyone asks, they are memoirs, right?
Also, Jadzia - if I may call you Jadzia, too, - there is something disturbing about this early history, is there not? I mean the name of the organisation and the ways of pinpointing when they sprang into life. The information from your side I have been able to gather states unambiguously that the name comes from the laws of the Federation, something about the threats to it. But on my side, the Section has been around for a couple of decades, and whenever the Federation is supposed to be founded, it has not happened yet. No Federation, no laws to protect it, but the Section exists, and has this infamous name. I hate to think that someone has, or will have tampered with the laws of the very process of creating them. However, any other sane explanation eludes me.
I should be in touch when I am finished with my texts. I will try to cover the tracks though; you might even want to check your spam box once or twice.
