Broken T'Pel BOT 19-Apr-21 10:55 PM

*From a dark corner that was piled with pillows and blankets a pair of dark tired eyes opened from their slumber. There was something new that she could sense.*

Christopher BOT 20-Apr-21 02:09 AM

*A small boy came crawling from the other room, a small box in hand,* "I brought you breakfast, Mother. Are you awake yet?"

Broken T'Pel BOT 20-Apr-21 02:11 AM

*T'Pel was already sitting up, staring blankly at the door,* "We have visitors. Something *feels*...oddly familiar about them. One of which is I believe your little friend that had left."

Christopher BOT 20-Apr-21 02:14 AM

"Nazran?! He's back?!" *He said excitedly, but he quickly pulled back his enthusiasm. It always seemed to cause a pain reaction in his mother.*

Broken T'Pel BOT 20-Apr-21 02:15 AM

*She gave a single nod, but looked back at the door,* "I want you to go see who he has brought back with him. I do not sense the same people as before."

Christopher BOT 20-Apr-21 02:18 AM

"Ok. Be sure you eat, ok?" *He made sure that she took it, and gave him a nod, before headed to the door and unlocking it. Once out he locked it back up again. He hated locking her away like that, but Captain Vale and mother both insisted. Then he was off down the hall.*

Broken T'Pel BOT 21-Apr-21 01:27 AM

*T'Pel had done as she promised and eaten the breakfast she had been given. Though that was hardly ever an issue. She also did not have to wonder where the boy had gotten such a bedside manner. Though of all of Rownan's quirks, she was glad Chris picked up that one. He was a compassionate soul.* *But now, she had fiddled with the temperature just enough to help fog over the window in the room she sat in. Tracing from star to star, intricate maps from her memory. In some area's the lines were less map lines and more Vulcan Calligraphy.* *Just a word...* Sa'val *Then back to constellations.* *T'Pel had good days, which were mostly apathetic, and she had bad days. Today was an off kilter day. Somewhere in the middle where her emotions were betrayed by the occasional tear that rolled down her worn cheeks. All she could focus on was her drawings, and a song she softly sang to herself...* Soon, we'll be without the moon... Humming a different tune and then...There may be tear drops to shed... So while there's moonlight And music and love...and romance Let's face the music and dance Let's face the music and dance...

Broken T'Pel BOT 21-Apr-21 02:12 PM

*The window was filled with translucent scribbles and T'Pel was laying back looking at the "bigger picture". It was hard not to get board when cooped up in here. Sometimes she remembered why, and sometimes she did not. Those were the bad days, that thankfully most of the time she was spared the memory of.* *Rownan also refused to refresh that memory. The sadness in his eyes was often hard to bare so she knew she had been bad.* *However she was still half Betazoid and there were ways she had learned to "stretch her legs", so to speak.* *So she did just that. T'Pel closed her eyes and let her mind reach out. To 1: Check on her son, then everyone else. He was not troublesome for the most part, but what kind of mother would not look in on her own child.* *He was dragging Mevi off with his friend Nazran. Though, that was not their Mevi. "Oh that is right. They had visitors."* *So she searched for emotional signatures she was not familiar with.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 21-Apr-21 03:17 PM

*T'Pel sat straight and opened her eyes. There was something she hadn't felt in years. Her own sanity!* *Her hands were pawing at her blanket as she wanted to dig more, but Vale had taken notice of her so she pulled back.* *In a moment she was up and pacing. "What else was there to find?" she thought to herself, chewing on one of her nails.* *So she broadened her sear beyond the ship. Finding a few life forms that had seemed to come out of their ship.* *"Curious..."* (edited)

Broken T'Pel BOT 21-Apr-21 03:49 PM

*There was a very familiar mind she had brushed against. Very familiar indeed.* *That confident warmth. The effortless calm. His sense of humor and compassion!* *Tears kicked on in full force. It was a mind she had never thought she'd see again, but she doubled over in pain, pulling back her mind because she didn't want him to see her like this. This shell of who she once was.* *The fractures in her mind just seemed to scream and what was a off kilter day was violently thrown into a bad one as she gripped her head and screamed as loud as she was able.* *Facing the music and dancing was no longer an option, and she was forced to relive watching him die all over. Feeling his mind ripped from hers again.*

Broken T'Pel BOT 23-Apr-21 04:37 PM

*After laying on her floor for the last hour, the memories finally ebbing away, she had crawled back into her bed full of blankets and pillows. An effort to simulate being held, especially when she was too emotional to be around.* *Her mind slowly began to grasp the fact that this new ship had Sa'val. There was a disconnect in her logic that did not grasp that this Sa'val was different, though she did not understand how her mind was still fractured. He was right there!* *She could see him so clearly. That smile of his when he was comfortable enough to show it. A smile that had many times just been for her. It was like a dach' tag being plunged and twisted into her gut. One of his last painful memories that remained forever with her.* *T'Pel couldn't help the force of wails that followed as she curled up again. This time she screamed into her pillow, another fit taking her down that most painful rabbit hole.*

Father Rownan BOT 23-Apr-21 05:31 PM

*He stands outside the door then looks at Mevi.* “It’s our T’Pel....she isn’t...well...” *He opened the door after it was unlocked.*

Broken T'Pel BOT 23-Apr-21 05:34 PM

*It was Row. Dear Row. She buried herself further into her blankets in an attempt to hide from him. She knew he could feel her pain and she always hated that he would always come to take care of her. He should just euthanize her and save himself the agony!*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Apr-21 05:35 PM

*Mevi pulls up her own Data PADD with all of Prime T'Pel's vitals, quickly going over them and refreshing herself. Vulcan-Betazoid hybrid. Would mean more susceptibility to emotions on board ship. Couple that with Vulcan telepathic abilities and it would be a lot to handle. Especially after what this T'Pel must've gone through.* "Give me the elevator version. What happened to her?"

Father Rownan BOT 23-Apr-21 05:45 PM

“She’s suffered great grief. It was Sa’val’s dea....” *He clutched his stomach and wiped at his eyes. He couldn’t even bring himself to say the word. Oh boy this was a bad day for sure. How she managed to live through this....he’ll never know.* “TPel...it’s Rownan...” *He walks in slowly so and not to startle her.*

Broken T'Pel BOT 23-Apr-21 05:53 PM

*T'Pel couldn't stop sobbing, but she kept burrowing,* "Go away...you don't need this...just end me, Row...please..."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Apr-21 05:57 PM

*Oh. Oh dear. Her mate. This was extremely severe. Especially for a Vulcan far from home. Mevi takes a deep breath, pulls out her tricorder, and enters the room.* "Hello, T'Pel. It's Counselor Wyse. Your friends and colleagues are worried about you." *Surreptitiously, Mevi pulls her tricorder scanner out and begins to examine T'Pel's neuro-bio chemistry. Extremely elevated levels of cortisol. No surprise there, she'd been under some severe stresses. And it potentially had caused permanent changes to her brain structure.* "T'Pel?"

Broken T'Pel BOT 23-Apr-21 06:03 PM

*This was not their Wyse. There wasn't enough pain in her voice to be theirs. T'Pel's sobbing calmed as it was replaced with a more agitated tone, as she peeked a dark eye out of a hole in her blanket cocoon, the focus in it much changed from the cool ethereal calm she once had. It was a more feral focus.* "That is all they do for me. Worry. Concern. My situation will never change, yet they keep me as their pet burden. Because of some misplaced sense of loyalty. I keep telling dear sweet blueberry here they would all be better off with out me...but he will not listen."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Apr-21 06:08 PM

*Ah. She was at that stage of grief, and potentially had been for... years. Mevi, on an instinctive response, reaches into her pocket, and pulls out a chocolate, unwraps it, and offers it over to T'Pel. Maybe the effects might help calm her, and they probably hadn't had any in ages.* "Can I offer you a snack, at least, Commander?"

Broken T'Pel BOT 23-Apr-21 06:19 PM

*T'Pel caught the scent of chocolate and her own biology betrayed her as her mouth instantly started to salivate, but she sucked it back and looked up at Wyse. Something about this was irritating. T'Pel knew she was not mentally stable, but she didn't exactly like being talked to as if she was a child. Maybe it was because it was not their Wyse, so she felt like an impostor? As she pondered, her eyes darted from chocolate to Orion. She didn't want to come out, however...she also hadn't had chocolate in so long...* "I will pass. Give it to Row for his boy."

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Apr-21 06:23 PM

*Mevi notes the salivation, and the look in her eyes, and gives T'Pel a gentle smile, and places the chocolate in front of the little blanket pile, right next to the opening.* "I think Nazran's already had enough chocolate to last a lifetime, and I already gave Row some. So it's your turn, Commander."

Father Rownan BOT 23-Apr-21 06:57 PM

*He took a few deep breathes to try and suppress the grief. Once he was able to control himself he sat on a chair nearby.* “T’Pel you know I don’t think of you that way. You’re my friend, not a burden. I didn’t want to be alone, so I came to talk with you.”

Broken T'Pel BOT 23-Apr-21 07:00 PM

*Her eyes narrowed. Wyse usually meant well, but that made no difference as the mild irritation was turning into something more aggressive,* "I am no longer a Commander, nor am I a pet, Counselor. Why not go *swoon* over Ryn. There are two of them from what I can tell. Then again neither want your chocolate anymore do they." *Though Row's voice cut through, and there were two people who she could never seem to lash out at, Row was one of them,* "You are sweet, but a horrible lier, blueberry."

Father Rownan BOT 23-Apr-21 07:07 PM

“I’m not lying. I care about you and you are my friend. So...why not let me talk with you?”

Broken T'Pel BOT 23-Apr-21 07:58 PM

*T'Pel covered herself again and just whimpered. Her irritability was a result of so many emotions just swirling around in her senses. She was unable to block them the way she used to,* "About what?"

Father Rownan BOT 23-Apr-21 08:14 PM

“Well, about anything you’d like.” *He was trying to ground her to one stable thought. Maybe that could help calm her storm.* “Oh, I have good news Nazran is back.”

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Apr-21 08:20 PM

*That one hurt. But then again, T’Pel was a patient, who was lashing out in pain. Not moving the little treat away from the mouth of the blanket fort, Mevi sits down on the floor, next to T'Pel.* "Well, then again, I already did my swooning. And you already know neither of them want that from me any longer, T'Pel." (edited)

Broken T'Pel BOT 23-Apr-21 08:38 PM

"I know." *T'Pel said quietly, not specifying to which she was talking to, mainly because either fit.* *Suddenly she sat up, eyes wide. The mention of Naz reminded her of where he had been. A connection was made. It wasn't her Sa'val she had sensed...he was from another universe!* *Her eyes shot to Row, tears filling in them again as she was flooded with the thought of a perfectly fine her living happily with her love again.* "He is not the only one here..." *She whispered.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 23-Apr-21 09:46 PM

“It seems like you and I have a lot of catching up to do, old friend. Unless of course, you’d rather we sit here in silence. You’ve endured far more than you ought to have.”

Father Rownan BOT 23-Apr-21 10:07 PM

*When her eyes locked onto his he knew who she was thinking about. The feeling swelled inside him too. Man she’s so strong with her emotions today.* “T’Pel...you can’t....it’s not the same man.”

Broken T'Pel BOT 23-Apr-21 10:28 PM

"You tell me you wouldn't want to at least *look* at Nazral again. Tell me it would be easy to resist." *T'Pel challenged, despite the firmness in her voice, it was just instant tears. Ten years wouldn't have aged her so much had it not been for the stress and emotions that turned her into a weeping factory.* "I felt him, Row..."

Father Rownan BOT 23-Apr-21 10:38 PM

*Of course she felt him. She had such a strong bond, such a strong love. Having it ripped away then suddenly within your grasp? Yes she’d want it back, so would he. But she’s unstable, and her counterpart T’Pel already has Sa’val as her love.* “T’Pel...” *He squinted his eyes as his own heart ached.* “You can’t T’Pel. Please try to relax. Focus...we’ll get through this together.”

Broken T'Pel BOT 23-Apr-21 11:09 PM

*T'Pel let out another scream, gripping her head and she started to rock back and forth,* "I can't...*I can't*...**I will not**." *In her mind, what she had to do was suddenly so clear. There was only one way to make the pain stop, and sadly it was not going to be easy.* *T'Pel leaped to her feet and bolted for the door, pushing Row over and cross the room and elbowing Wyse in the opposite direction before running out the door at top speed.*

Father Rownan BOT 23-Apr-21 11:25 PM

*He winced and placed one hand by his ear as she screamed. The next few moments happened so fast he couldn’t completely understand how it all went down. T’Pel was suddenly heading towards him with pure determination to get past him. Her heart was fueled by pain, she was given a new strength from it. As she shoved him aside he was to slow to stop her body stiff from the grief she unintentionally bombarded him with. The first mistake he made was entering the room without locking the door behind him. The second was him trying to telepathically suppress what he could feel from her. If he didn’t do these two things, she probably wouldn’t have been able to escape.* “T’Pel no!” *He got up while calling after her. He gave Mevi a worried look as he dashed out, taking off after her.*

Counselor Mevi Wyse 24-Apr-21 09:46 AM

*Mevi sighs, and gets to her feet, chasing after the Vulcan. There was so much she was trying not to show, and so much she clearly wanted to do. But now, she was a patient who was not fully in control of herself. So Mevi had her duty to fulfill.*
