I am Daniel Reed, a former security officer aboard the USS Enterprise. According to these records, I was a hybrid of 7/8 Human and 1/8 Vulcan heritage. 

It appears I had a difficult family history, as my Vulcan great-grandmother's clan was disgraced when an emerald was lost. She passed on a hatred for its keepers to her descendants. 

When the Enterprise discovered this lost gem, called the Vulcan's Glory, on the planet Areta, I was determined to recover it to restore my family's honor. Regrett
