Arrival

[Felix Savali]

Off: We cant have them let you off that easily , ill play them for a while if you don’t mind to make the things more interesting

After Tiff left off to shop with Tolani , Emelye and Merlain decided to go out and do some exploring of the city and they left Felix alone with the man of the house.

"So its just you and me is it Felix", the main said smiling

"How would you like me to tell you about how me and Tolani met ?", the man asked

"Sure it would be interesting to hear just you go ahead."

"Well...", the man started to talk


---------------Meanwhile at the place where Tiffani was held------

As they untied her Tolani was reading her mind hoping that she will find out more but she couldn’t dig up anything more.

"I let you go in the hope you will tell me the truth but obviously you do not want this to be settled the easy way, you had your chance now we will resort to some more extreme measures.", Tolani said motioning to two of her friends who caught her by her hands and started to tie them behind her back with some sort of rope.

"But what are you talking about , I told you everything you read my mind you know I’m telling the truth.", Tiffani said

"You very well know that there aren’t anymore races in the universe , we are the only one , your friends must think better how can they think that we are so naive that well be fooled by such a false story it is obvious you are working for our enemies, and we will have to resort to other measures which I didn’t want to use on you , but you gave me no choice.", Tolani said

As the women were finishing to tie her they tied her hands behind the back and then for the chair , they also tied her legs at her ankles and knees and at the bottom of the chair.

"But I am telling the truth I....", she started but couldn’t finish as she was gagged before she could end her sentence

"Now we are going to have some fun", Tolani said motioning for the others to leave the room

Off: Your q Tiffani unless you want me to continue

[tiffani]

OFF: Poor tiffani *L* and Please continue im curious to see what you have in mind for Tiff *L*

[T'Mar]

Hello all,

I know I've been idle lately but I've been terribly busy with study and two concerts last weekend. I promiss I'll post tomorrow.

As off Saturday I will be away on concert tour for a week. I leave Commander Savali in charge untill then.

Commodore T'Mar

[Felix Savali]

I will look after the ship as best i can as i have been doing till now. Im on LOA till monday and after that ill be here to tend to the ships needs.

[T'Mar]

Hello everyone,

Maybe I could add something for Tolani. I think she might use herbal methods for the interrogation and telepathic enhancing.

I'll just post something and you'll be able to go from there.

-----------------

Tolani left the room and returned with some bowls. "We have methods of persuasion." She put some herbs in a bowl and poured hot water on it. "The extract of Arbol leaves will get you to answer my questions."

Tiffany had become annoyed with this woman. "I've told you all there is to know! I'm not afraid of those herbs of yours. In fact I like a nice cup of tea!" she grinned.

Tolani smiled. "This is not an ordinary cup of tea my dear." She forced the hot broth down Tiffany's throat. "It must be drunk while hot my dear."

Tiffany coughed and wheezed and felt like her throat was burning. A few seconds afterwards it seemed that her throat was allright. She even felt happy and lightheaded. "This is weird stuff" she murmured.

"Where do you come from?" Tolani asked again.

Tiffany smiled. "Earth! Great place, I'd like to show you around some time. Go shopping" she giggled.

"What is Earth? Where is it my dear?"

"It's a planet my dear" She giggled. "Third rock from the sun!" she shreeked.

"LIES!!!!!!" Tolani barked.

A short while later, Tolani returned with a metallic looking rope which she attached to Tiffany's face at several locations. "This is a telepathy enhancer. With this I can probe your mind and discover any memory, anything you know."

Aboard the Scavenger, T'Mar contacted Felix.

"We're fine Commodore. We have been invited at the home of one of the locals here and we have been well treated. The lady called Tolani took Counsellor Rylka for shopping. They've been away for a long time now. I guess they're just having fun shopping" Felix reported.

"Yes, the women's desire to engage into activities like shopping is apparently also an important feature here. I know of Human and Betazoid women to be very fond of it. I do not have any desire to see a dozen shops without purchasing anything, or purchasing items I do not require."

Felix grinned. "The whole point of shopping I guess is having fun. Though I see no fun in dragging yourself from shop to shop all day."

"Very well. I do wish you will contact Tiffany to find out where she is and when she will be returning to the settlement. What have you found out last night?"

"Well, they are most friendly sir. We have taken biological measurements of them and the environment. We have even been helping doing chores around here. The atmosphere is great." He also thought of last night. The bedroom was very pleasant. He also wondered where Tiffany was as she and Tolani had already been away for hours.

"Good. I think this planet is quite safe. I will disguise myself so you can introduce me. I am curious about the planet and I wish to meet the people."

"Very good sir. I will send you suitable coordinates to beam down and we'll come to fetch you."

"I shall see you soon Felix. T'Mar out."

Tolani had sent a man back to the settlement who rounded up some other men and went to capture the rest of the awayteam. Some minutes later after Felix had transmitted coordinates, he and Meralin and Brianon found themselves surrounded by not too friendly looking people.

[tiffani]

(OFF: Just a small note if people are going to use my character please spell her name right Its TIFFANI not TIFFANY. Also if your going to write in my character getting hurt please ask me first before writing in damage to her i find it common curtsie to ask before causing someones character to be harmed even if it is part of the storyline thanks in advance)

[thirteen]

OFF: I have received an email in which it is said that if I wouldn't post soon I'd be put on Trivia-Only, well I'm still here, and if you've read my latest post, you will see that I'd probably not manage to post for two weeks. In any case: I'm still alive and kicking, and I'll post within two days.

[tiffani]

OFF: I will post again sometime tonight before i go to bed right now im off to do some chores *meh*

[T'Mar]

It's allright Meralin, I may have overlooked your post or forgotten it. My fault.

I'm going on concert tour for a week. I expect to post again after Easter.

Have fun!

Greetz,

T'Mar

[thirteen]

OFF: No problem captain. Due to personal circumstances I will not be able to post for two weeks, my apologies, I will try to post ASAP.

[tiffani]

Off: perhaps we should just give up on this mission? seeing as everyones either not active or alyways onleave? *ponders stuff as she disappears to get sleep*

[emelye]

OFF: Firstly, I apologise for not posting for so long. I generally only access the net from work and I have been extremely busy of late. I didn't raelise it had been quite that long however...

In other news, I am getting married. I propsed to my boyfriend of 4.5 years last Thursday and he accepted. The wedding isn't planned until September 2005.

Finally, as it has been so long since we posted, I will pick up from when we arrived at Tolani's house if that is ok.

ON: Emelye hung back a bit as they walked towards the natives' house. She set up her tricorder to take periodic air samples and do preliminary analyses. Full examination would have to wait until she got back to the ship, but she was determined to find out if her theory about the pheromones was correct.

Dinner was a bit daunting. People weren’t really her thing, she is really quite shy. But that didn’t seem to matter. Tiffani is friendly enough for everyone. Emelye just couldn’t wait to get away and start analyzing the data.

Finally dinner was over, and Emelye went up to her room to look through the tricorder readings. There were definitely faint traces of chemicals in the air. But the molecules appeared to be plant, rather than animal matter. The traces were well below the threshold for the human olfactory senses to register, but she couldn’t yet rule out the possibility that these people had a better sense of smell. It could be a matter of not using the right soap. But the hypothesis was getting less and less plausible. At breakfast she would try to scan on of the avalans physiology.

The next morning Emelye scanned Tolani while she was busy chatting to Tiffani about shopping. Leaving the rest of the body for later study, Emelye honed in on the nose. It seemed to be equivalent to the human version. So the pheromone theory is disproved. She would need to talk to Tiffani about her theory. It could wait until they were alone, since Tiffani was leaving already to go shopping. These people seemed friendly enough now that they had overcome their initial distrust.

That afternoon, when Tiffani still wasn’t back, Emelye decided that she should at least tell Commander Savali that her theory was debunked. She found him pacing the room, something seemed to be bothering him.

“Ah, sir. Could I have a word with you for a minute?”

Felix looked up, slightly startled. He didn’t seem to have realized Emelye was there

“What is it Commander?”

“Well, sir. I seem to have collected enough data to show that my pheromone theory is incorrect. But I can’t find Tiffani to discuss with her the merits of her theory. She has been gone a long time. I am probably just being impatient as I’m not shopping too, but it will be getting dark in an hour or two”

“Yes. I have to admit, I’m worried too.” agreed Felix

“Perhaps we could go for a walk to try and find her. What do you think?”

“That sounds like a good idea”

Emelye and Felix set of in the direction of the village.

[Felix Savali]

Off: Its good to have you back with us commander Emelye , and also i would like to congratulate you on your upcoming wedding. Now as we have several different storylines here ill attempt to merge them into one. To ms. Rylka we will continue with this mission.

Felix and Emelye were slowly heading towards the village to check what happened to Tiffani and Tolani as they never returned from shopping. They went to the town market and were asking around but the locals claimed that they never saw Tolani nor Tiffani.

Just as they were about to give up a female approached them saying she knows where Tolani and Tiffani are, and that she will take them to them. So Felix and Emelye not suspecting anything proceeded after the woman. As she took them to a distant part of the town and then around a corner.

When they turned around that corner they saw a group of the local women with raised weapons.

"Surrender now", they said

Felix and Emelye had to think quick, if thy were ambushing them here this meant that Tiffani was already captured, and Felix couldn’t allow them to end up captured also. They had no choice but to attempt to stun the attacker there were 4 in front and one in the back.

He motioned to Emelye to take her phaser slowly and stun the girl behind them and he will attempt to set the phaser to a wide beam and stun the people in front.

"Will you surrender?", the women asked them

"Give us a moment to think", he said as he was unnoticeably pressing some buttons on the phaser

"What’s to think you are surrounded, what are you pressing there", the women asked, "Give that to me now ", she said raising her weapon to him

And he pulled the weapon out pointed it at the group and fired , a wide beam came out of the phaser and stun the whole group in front of them and Emelye managed to stun the one behind them.

"We must move quickly», Felix said to Emelye

As they started moving towards the village , they were lucky that the group they encountered didn’t have any telepathic powers , but they didn’t know these people had any at all.

Meanwhile Merlain was preparing to greet the commodore at the beam down location he selected. He attempted to contact Felix and Emelye but he couldn’t reach them, he thought they were in a group of people so he didn’t persist.

=/\=Savali to Merlain , do you read me=/\=

"Nothing my communicator has been damaged from the phaser discharge , you try with yours", Felix said to Emelye

=/\=Cmdr. Brianon to Merlain , do you read me=/\=

"No nothing we are stranded we can not contact him , well have to use the tricoder to scan for his biosign"

-----------------Meanwhile Merlain was awaiting T'Mar to beam down at the coordinates he provided-----------

T’Mar has just transported to the surface when out of the bushes jumped a group of 6 locals armed with guns and raised them at Merlain and T'Mar.

"Surrender your weapons now .", they said

----------------Meanwhile Tolani was attempting to extract info from Tiffani------------------

When she couldn’t get anything out of her using the herbs , all she could find out from Tiffany was something about a united federation of planets which couldn’t be true as their planet was the only space object that had life on it. Tolani decided to play something different on her.

She tied her up tight and gagged her then she began telepathically projecting images of Felix in great pain into Tiffanies mind hoping that this way she would get the information she requires from Tiffani.

[tiffani]

*being so exhausted from the torture tiffani could not fight the images that Tolani was putting in her mind as she tried to probe information out of her she kept falling in and out of unconsious*

i do not wish to cause you harm tiffani but you leave me no choice, if only you would tell me the truth *commented Tolani*

*half awake tiffani replied with a bit a slur* i told you the truth it is you who does not believe the truth. *just then an image of Felix being shot by a weapon flashed in tiffani's mind* nooooooooo *she cried out* Imazadi *she yelled as she fell into uncounsious as she heard Tolani speak*

She is no use to us right now let her rest but keep her guarded we cant afford for others to find out about us *she commented to a nearby female*

OFF: I hope that Tiiffani will be rescued sooner or later im getting bored playing a captured female

[Felix Savali]

Emelye took her tricoder out and started scanning for Merlain's bio sign , luckily these people were not developed enough to poses jamming technology and after a few moments she isolated his bio sign and also she found a Vulcan bio sign which didn’t belong here and she presumed it was T'Mar's.

«Sir , if found Merlain's biosign , he is accompanied by the commodore and they appear to be surrounded by 6 locals.», she said

«You go ahead and check what’s going on there and» , her threw her a weapon from one of the locals «if it comes to a tense situation use this , you’ll minimize the possibility of us affecting this culture too much , ill look for lt. Rylka», he said pulling out his tricoder

And they split up , Emelye heading towards Merlain and the commodore and Felix looking for Tiffani. He took out his tricoder and began to scan for her life signs. He found them after a few minutes they were leading to an abandoned building or at least it seemed like that , he scanned 5 local life signs and Tiffanies which was weakening ,he had to think , he couldn’t let his feelings get in the way of his judgment.

He had to think up a plan a diversion of some sort , he took one of the weapons these locals used it looked like one of those powder guns humans used in the early ages. He used his phaser to set fire to some leaves then he threw the gun into the fire and went to hide. Shortly after that the bullets started to explode and 3 people came running out of the building to see what’s happening , and while they were staring at the fire he managed to stun them with his phaser.

-------------------------------Meanwhile Tolani sensed him coming------------------

«So your loved one is coming to save you is he», Tolani said to herself

«You», she said to the only remaining guard, «Go and stand there behind the door», «We will prepare a surprise for him

But fortunately Felix had planed something using some terms Tolani couldn’t understand as they referred to some technical terms far more advanced than these people , and he used the tricoder and detected the guard hiding behind the door , and was able to shoot him with one of the weapons the locals used.

When he entered he saw Tolani holding a knife under the half unconscious Tiffani.

«Surrender now , or you can say goodbye to your loved one», she said

Felix remembered some of his antiterrorist training from the academy and it was never negotiate with terrorists.

«Loved one , I have no idea what are you talking about I do not love this woman», he said

«You can not fool me I can read your mind , this surprised you didn’t it , I have telepathic abilities just like your leader , now you will surrender and tell me everything I want to know or she’s done for», Tolani said

Leader , what is she talking about Felix thought the he remembered she could read his thoughts and he tried to not think about what hell do next he was thinking about the gun he left outside meanwhile reaching for the phaser he had on his belt hoping his deception would work. And to his aide came the fact that Tiff just regained conciseness and Tolani diverted her attention to Tiffani allowing Felix to grab hi phaser and stun Tolani.

Then he ran to Tiffani and started untying her.

[tiffani]

*tiffani was still half out of it and she seen Tolani get shot just as she looked up to see who it was that shot her she was relieved but somewhat shocked to find it was Felix*Felix *she said just barely* but i thought *she watched as he begin to untie the ropes*

"Are you ok?" , he asked while he finished untiying the ropes binding her to the chair and helping her get to her feet
i am a bit sore from the ropes *she leaned on him a bit as she got to his feet* but i seen you get shot *she was still a bit woozy so she held on to him to keep her balance*

"Shot? Well you must have dreamt it becuase i wasnt shot , but we better get out of here before these people start waking up", he said as he was leading her out of the building "Tolani said she had telepathic abilities?", he asked her as they were moving out
yes apparently some of them have telepathic abilities *She commented as the headed out of the buildind* but only a select few and they try to hide it as much as possible that is why she wanted to get me from the rest of you she sensed that i was like them

"We must find the others before its too late , if there are more of them with telepathic abilities the others could be in danger , and well need to mark this planet off limits to all federation vessels because it is too dangerous, can you stand on your own i haveto get the tricoder out?", he said

*she straightened herself up a bit* i think i can manage still have a pounding headache from the tea she forced me to drink *she watched as he got out the tricorder*

"Tea? Never mind well talk about it more later", he said as he began scaning for lifesigns of the rest of the group , he soon detected them in a forest outside of town , but he couldnt detect any locals so he assumed they have taken care of them "Let's go this way", he said to Tiffani leading her towards the forest area

*she nodded* agreed *the headed off toward the direction that felix picked up teh lifesigns and the spotted the rest of the away team*

When the group saw them coming Merlain ran to Felix to help him lead
Tiffani to the others. "I am glad your are fine commander and you counselor"

"Commodore , i would advise that we beemed of this planet before we cause any more damage than we already have caused, these people poses telepathic
abilities, and it is not safe for us to remain here anymore."

*Tiffani weakly smiled at Merlain* like wise lt *she nodded to the others as
she listened to the cmdr felix and the commodore speaking* regretfully i agree with your suggestion commander lets gather are stuff and beam
back to the ship *she paused momentarily*
perhaps one day the will be ready to join the Federation

"Once they realise they are not alone in the universe", he said , "If you could signal the ship commodore my comm badge seems
to be malfunctioning" "Understood commander"

=/\=T'Mar to transporter room 3 , 5 for transport=/\=

=/\=Understood commodore, standy by=/\=

And sfter a few moments the lovely surface of the planet was slowly disappearing and the familiar transporter room of the federation vessel was coming into view.

Off:Just a note even though we wrapped the mission up you guys can backpost on how you got free from the group of 6 locals that have sorounded you after the commodore beemd down and any other details you may want to add.

[emelye]

Emelye headed off in the direction of T'mar and Meralin. As she got close, she peered around a corner to assess the situation. T'mar and Meralin were at the centre of a circle of six locals. She took out the weapon that Felix had taken from one of the locals. It wasn’t as efficient as the phasers, but she didn’t think it would kill any of the locals, and it was better than creating further breaches of the prime directive.

Emelye took off around the corner at full speed. She took aim as she ran towards the group and fired passed her shipmates to the locals that were facing her. She kept running and fired at a second local. Everyone was turning around by now to see Emelye running for the cover of another building. Just as she was rounding the corner she felt a sharp pain in the back of her leg. She dived around the corner the corner, but her safety wasn’t going to last for long. Her leg was totally numb and she couldn’t stand. And one of the locals would be following her for sure.

Emelye had created enough of a distraction that the locals had momentarily turned their backs on T’mar and Meralin. They had just enough time to draw their phasers and be ready for when their captors turned back around. With one of the locals going after Emelye, and two already down, that made it three on two against T’mar and Meralin.

Emelye lay on her back around the corner. She aimed her weapon at where she thought chest height would be of whoever followed her around the corner. It felt like for ever before someone finally came around the corner. She fired, and hit them square in the chest.

She still couldn’t stand, but she could hear phaser fire from where she had left T’mar and Meralin. She hoped that they would get away, as she was starting to feel dizzy from the pain as the adrenalin started to fade. As she fainted, she heard footsteps running towards her and she hoped that it was T’mar and Meralin.

[T'Mar]

As T'Mar beamed down, she was greeted by Meralin. But as soon as she materialized, she felt that there were others near her. Vulcans could tell because they sensed the presence of other people and knew when they would be of other kinds that Vulcans or Humans.

"We are being watched!" she said to Meralin calmly. "Be on your guard Lieutenant."

But as soon as she had said that, the attackers surrounded the commodore and Meralin. But there came Commander Brianon dashing into the open space and took out most of the Arvalans. T'Mar took her phaser hidden under her garments and stunned the remaining assailants.
Then she noticed that Brianon was wounded and jumped to her side to check. "You have been shot in the leg. We must get you back to the ship. Meralin, where are the others?"
Soon Commander Savali and Tiffany appeared and they beamed back to the Scavenger. Commander Brianon was taken to sickbay.
"That bullet got stuck into the bone but it's nothing I can't handle" the doctor reassured the science officer.
"A small price to pay for the Commodore's safety" Emelye grinned.
T'Mar was grateful for Brianon's swift action. The Commodore knew Brianon to be cunning in combat. "I thank you for your action today Commander. Though I am afraid that we will not visit this world anymore, in the near future at least. Get some rest Emelye and I expect you to attend the staffmeeting tomorrow at 11:00 when we will be discussing our findings and course of action. Goodnight."
"Goodnight sir" Emelye replied. "It is a wonderful world to see but we kinda made a bad start I think."

T'Mar left sickbay. Emelye was right. There were things they had not been aware of which they should have anticipated. T'Mar worried how much damage was done to this culture.

[tiffani]

*Tiffani and rest they away team was back on the ship and in sickbay getting healed or haaving their cosmetic surgery removed. the commodore was the first to be completed and after she checked on Cmdr Briannon left but not before addressing the whole group*

Their will be a staff meeting at 11:00 hours i want you all their so we can discuss what excatly happened on the planet. *came the commodore's voice*

yes sir *came the groups reply*

Commdore Tmar Turned and left leaving rest the group to get tooken care of.

*Tiffani was being checked over by the doctor when Felix came up to him* how is she doing doctor? *questioned Felix*

besides a few minor cuts from the ropes she seems to be in good health although i recommended she gets a few days shore leave due to the drama of her condition *commented the doctor*

*felix nodded* i'll make sure she gets it

*Tiffani smiled at him and listened to them talk as she was driffting off thinking about Tolani and sighed cause she wasn't able to convince them who the truely was she felt as though she let the whole team down* So doc can i return to my quarters now?

I dont see why not *he commented* you are in good health now but i strongly suggest those few days of relaxation.

Yes doctor of course *she smiled not wanting an argumenet with him, she jumped down off the bio bed and looked over at Cmdr Briannon who was being treated for the wound she took protecting the commdore* will she be okay *she nodded in the Cmdr's direction* she shall be in good health in no time the shot only caused minor damange that will heal quickly she will be able to return to active duty soon *came the doctors voice*

Good *Tiffani smiled as she turned to leave the sickbay with Felix along side, she was still lost in thought as they entered the Turbolift*

[Felix Savali]

As Tiffani and Felix were entering the turbolift, he noticed that she seemed distant, like her mind and body weren’t at the same place. He thought it might have something to do with her being kidnapped, but he wasn’t sure.

“Tiffani”, he said while he was running his hand across her face gently

That made her snap back into reality instantly

“Felix”, she said taking his hand and putting it to her face

“Are you ok, you seemed distant to me?”

<Tag, Tiffani>

After a few moments they arrived to Felix’s quarters. Tiffani went and lied down on the bed and Felix took a seat in his chair and started writing his report for the staff meeting tomorrow. This mission was a fiasco he thought; of all the things the Arvalans had to turn out to be telepaths. While he was writing the report he was thinking about everything that went down in the past few days while they were down.

After a while he was finished writing his report, and the he decided to add to his log.

=/\=Computer, First Officers log, stardate 901304.9=/\=

=/\=The away mission turned out to be a total fiasco. The Arvalans turned out to be telepath and were pretending to be our friends, when in reality they knew who we were from start. The first day went out fine, we socialized, they pretended to be out friends and everything went on fine. But the second day was a disaster. =/\=

=/\=First they kidnapped our counselor lt. Rylka and interrogated her; we still do not know what exactly they did to her as she has not written her report yet. Then they attacked Cmdr. Brianon and me. And in the end they attempted to take the commodore into custody, but thanks to the bravery of our CScO they failed in their mission. And the Cmdr. ended up with only miner injuries. The debriefing is scheduled for tomorrow at 1100 hours. =/\=

=/\=Computer end log=/\=

After he was done with writing his log he stored his report and went to the bed where Tiffani was lying and thinking.

“Tiffani “, he said , “ You do not seem well at all , tell me about what happened while they held you captured, it will make you feel better”

<Tag, Tiffani>

*Tiffani half smiled then nodded* i will be once i get a bit of rest just have alot on my mind and need to rest. *she leaned against him as the walked back to his quarters she did not care if any of the other crewmates seen them, she needed to be held by him now*

After a few moments they arrived to Felix’s quarters. Tiffani went and lied down on the bed and Felix took a seat in his chair and started writing his report for the staff meeting tomorrow.

*tiffani sighed heavily as she curled up against felix, it felt nice to be in his arms, in a safe heaven, she looked up at him and stared at him before she started speaking* I dunno where to begin, i dont understand how i come i couldn't detect their deception before hand. I should of been more focused *she tried to hold back her tears as she spoke*

Tiffani *replied Felix* dont blame yourself for anything that happened on the planet it wasnt your fault

*she sit up on the bed and placed her head in her hands for a moment then raised her head up and continued* Tolani seemed so polite at first i can only assume that the reason i didn't detect her true nature was that she was able to supress her thoughts, its the only thing i can think of...

(Tag Felix)

*she smiled at him and leaned against him with a sigh* i just dont understand how i could misread someone so easily

(Tag Felix)

[Felix Savali]

Tiffani *replied Felix* don’t blame yourself for anything that happened on the planet it wasn’t your fault

*she sit up on the bed and placed her head in her hands for a moment then raised her head up and continued* Tolani seemed so polite at first i can only assume that the reason i didn't detect her true nature was that she was able to suppress her thoughts, its the only thing i can think of...

”You shouldn’t be thinking about it that much now , you know that you will need to say everything that she has done to you in the debriefing tomorrow. Try to calm yourself now you don’t need to tell me now what happened , just relax and free your mind.”, he said

*she smiled at him and leaned against him with a sigh* i just don’t understand how i could misread someone so easily

”You shouldn’t be worrying yourself that much about how you misread her , no one expected that these people would be telepaths , and you are only a half betazoid so you shouldn’t blame yourself if you couldn’t read past their mental blockade.”, he finished he gave her a gentle kiss while unnoticeably pressing a hyposprey which the doctor gave him.

And before she realized what was happening she drifted off into a dreamless sleep. She will be sleeping for at least 12 hours after this Felix was remembering what the doctor told him. He put the spray back into his pocket and he got off the bed. He covered Tiffani with a blanket before heading out. He couldn’t sleep so he decided to find something to do.

He first went down to sickbay to return the hyposprey.He saw that Emelye was there and sleeping. So he activated the EMH.

“Please state the nature of the medical emergency”

“Hello doctor , ive returned the hyposprey you gave me”

“Well it is nice to see someone returning something I give him. I trust she is sleeping now?”

“Yes she is”

“Good tomorrow she will feel much better”

“How is cmdr. Brianon?”

“She is doing fine , I was able to cure her leg she will be like new tomorrow , now you should get going we have patients to treat here”, the EMH said

“Right , well thank you for your help doctor.”, Felix said before he left sickbay

It was already late , as he was heading towards the bridge he didn’t expect to find the commodore up. After all she is Vulcan and she is probably meditating in her quarters he thought as he took a ride towards the bridge.

When he arrived he saw that he was right. A cmdr. From Ops was on duty. Once he saw Felix he raised from the center chair.

“Take it easy”, said Felix , “You can keep sitting in the chair”, he said smiling

“Any new developments?”, he asked

“No sir , we are still in synchronous orbit around the Arvalan homeworld.”

“And on the surface?”

“The people you have stunned have woken up and after searching for you , they have given up and returned to their usual routine , like it was before your arrival , I do not expect any permanent damage from your visit sir.”

“We will be returning to starbase Assailant tomorrow”

“Yes sir”, the officer said

“Have the maintaince on the warp manifolds be done tonight, and run a full propulsion system diagnostics, I do not expect any problems but its better to be safe then sorry. “, Felix said

“Yes sir , ill notify engineering right away”, the officer said

After finishing the talk with the officer Felix entered the turbolift and went back to his quarters. After he arrived he decided to catch a few hours of sleep even thou he doubted he was able to get any. He saw Tiffani sleeping and decided to sleep on the couch tonight. He grabbed a blanket and a pillow and lied on the couch and before he knew it we fell asleep dreaming about the Arvalans and everything that happened in these past days.

----------------------Next Morning--------------------------

*Tiffani woke up bright and early she laid in bed a few moments rubbing her eyes before she realized where she was at* I wonder where Felix is at *she said outloud to noone in particular, She got up and got dressed then headeding into the kitchen area* *She spotted Felix laying on the couch sleeping and smiled, she went ahead and headed to the replicator* Computer two plates of bacon, egg and toast suddenly the plates materliazed before her eyes and she placed them on the table then ordered some Orange juice and placed it on the table*

*after she made breakfast she went in and woke up felix, Leaning down on the couch she leaned over and lightly kissed him on the cheeck* wake up sleepy head she said *Felix rubbed his eyes a bit as he stirred from his sleep and smiled as he seen Tiffani* well goodmornign sunshine *he said giving her a gentle kiss* your up early

*Tiffani smiled* yes i feel much better this morning, I've made breakfast its sitting on the table *she stood and waited for him to follow*

((OOC: I'll be on a weeks leave starting tomorrow i'll try and post when and if i can but i'll be extremely busy helping my mom get last minute things done for her wedding on the 24th feel free to use my character at your discreation but no more getting her kidnapped, tortured or killed for a while *L*))

[T'Mar]

T'Mar sat in her quarters eating breakfast which consisted of vulcan bread and tea. She reviewed reports and data on their last mission. She wondered how the counsellor was doing after her trying experience. Vulcans abhored mindrape which she thought had happened to Tiffany. She decided to pay the counsellor a visit.

A while later she chimed the door of Rylka and Savali's quarters. Tiffany opened.

"Goodmorning Counsellor, may I enter?"

"Sure Commodore, please come in" Tiffany answered.

T'Mar entered and asked how Tiffany was doing.

"I'm fine now" Tiffany answered. I don't really like to think of what happened. I'll be allright.

T'Mar looked at her with concern. "Tiffany, if you get any problems later on, do not hesitate to seek counselling. What happened to you is what I would call mindrape which is serious."

"Serious or not, I'd rather not think about it right now sir."

"Even so, I need to be sure that my crewmembers are allright. You are responsible for our mental wellbeing. Your responsibility could be impaired by this.

Tiffany sighed. "It was quite awful. That's why I don't wanna think about it right now."

T'Mar nodded. "Can I be sure I can rely on you counsellor?"

"Yessir!" she answered smiling. "If you will excuse me, I have some things to do here." T'Mar nodded and Tiffany went off to clear the table.

When Tiffany was gone for a moment T'Mar confided to Felix to look after Tiffany as he is closest to her.

<tag Felix>

Then T'Mar left and went to her readyroom to prepare for the meeting. On her way she met Commander Brianon who'se leg was healed.

"Goodmorning Emelye, how is your leg?"

<tag Emelye>

Together they went on to the bridge.

Later on the meeting started and everyone presented their findings.

<tag Felix, then Emelye, then Tiffany, then Meralin>

T'Mar concluded. "We have discovered a great deal about the Arvalans. There is no doubt about that. But we may have done conciderable damage to their culture. This damage may be for a large part undone by their belief that their planet is the center of the universe and that they are the only sentient race in it. If I am not mistaken, Humans believed this too for a long time. However, this may lead to unrest and even procecution. I am well familiar with Earth's history and untill some centuries ago, people were procecuted for their ideas which deviated from the teachings of the church. I fear that we may have brought chaos to this world. Though I would prefer it, it is not wise to send anthropologists here to monitor the Arvalans to see how they deal with this. It is too dangerous because they may be discovered by ways of telepathy and add to the damage.
I also think it is too late to wipe their memories as we know too little about their physiology and that it may have been to long since we beamed up for such a procedure so the damage is permanent.
I have decided to leave a warning bouy for other ships not to investigate the planet. They might be discovered when they beam down and get into serious trouble with the inhabitants like we have.

Does anyone have anything to add?" She looked around the room.

[tiffani]

*Tiffani returned to the living room area just as the Commodore left* Dont forget about the meeting *she commented and left*

*Tiffani looked at felix* i'll be fine i dont need a babysitter *she sighed slightly dreading the debriefing, knowing she would have to relive what happened on the planet a part of her wished she could skip the meeting but knew she would get in trouble*

of course not *replied Felix* the Commodore just wants to make sure you are okay.

*Tiffani made a hmpfh sound* we better get going or will be late for the meeting *she looked at felix and smiled, kissing him before heading to the meeting room*

-----------Later in the Meeting-------------

*Tiffani and Felix was the last to arrived she smile and nodded to different ones as she quickly took her seat and listened as the commodore spoke not really wanting to be the first one to speak up she hesitated a bit but when she realized that everyone was waiting on her she begin* well Commodore I dont know where to begin *she sighed slightly and wished it was done and overwith*

Just give the specific Counsellor *commented T'mar*

the first night went out without a glitch they seemed friendly and cooperative however i soon realized how Unfriendly they truely was *she looked around and saw all eyes on her* after me and Tolani left the house we headed into the city i still dont understand why i couldn't detect her true nature im assuming they've found some way to block their emotions and things they dont want others knowing that would explain why i didn't pick it up right away *she paused for a moment* she mislead me to a buidling where i was tied up and gagged for a while *she paused for a moment then stood feeling kinda edgy sitting down and started walking around the ready room telling the rest of her story* then after i told her everything about who we was and where we came fram *Tiffani paused and looked at the commdore* I know that was a breach in the prime directives sir but i didn't know what i was doing at the time She had given me some Tea it made me kinda groggy and she was putting images of the away team Speciffically the Cmdr *She looked at felix* into my head being hurt i was scared and frieghtened a place i never want to be again however she continued to harm me until Felix rescued me *she sighed sitting back down for a moment and waited for any sort of responses the others or the Commodore*
