Why this must be read:
For a lot of The Next Gen Troi was an underused character. Mosca takes the idea that in addition to being an empath and Riker's on/off love interest Troi is a starfleet officer with the rank of commander and runs with it.
For four years, we have carried the same rank. When I passed the commander's test, Captain Picard wrote me a letter of congratulations. It was an awkward thing, but he sometimes finds it easiest to express himself when he has time to edit his words. "This crew has a tendency to forget that you are not only an excellent counselor, but an excellent officer," he wrote. "I hope that this will help you remember."
Every morning, I fasten three gold disks to the collar of my uniform and remind myself that I am a Starfleet commander. I have sat in the center chair of the fleet's flagship, and I have done her as proud as I could. (I only crashed her once.) Starfleet has been sending me on sensitive espionage missions. I am ordered to probe the enemy's thoughts and wrap up her secrets in the recondite corners of my mind. I have made a career of keeping confidences.
