Location: Sickbay
Timeline: Following “voices in my head”

{ON}

Will was beside himself as he heard Amethyst cry.

Brol wss returned to quarters under house arrest. But surprisingly a new face joined the scene as the Pak'shree being arrived to sickbay.

" Kind Commander what has happened. I sensed something and wanted to help." it asked Will.

" The Counselor was given a fruit that is hurting her." Will restrained his reply.

Amethyst awoke with another scream, still clutching at her head. “The voices ... they’re so loud!! Please make it stop!!!”

" Commander the Brol are non violent except to the arachnids. They tried to make peace in this region. They have no formal language. Non do here in this reagion. Telepathy is the norm," said the Pak'shree.

Amethyst was still clutching at her head as the voice of Brol entered her mind, overriding all the other voices that were threatening to drive her crazy.

(( Now you are almost complete. Now focus only on one voice. Try mine.)) Brol replied.

(( I ... I can’t!! It’s all too loud!! )) beside her bed a tray of medical equipment started shaking, items rattling on the tray all by themselves.

" Doctor what's happening to her?" Will yelled.

"I am trying to determine that very thing, Commander. Mental issues, especially for Betazeds, isn't exactly bedside reading," explained Bjorgo. "From her actions I would say that some mental spike is mucking with her cognitive functions." He continued to run his feinberger over her body, gathering as much data as he could for a better prognosis and treatment.

Brol remained in Amethyst head. (( Each voice is a door. Tell your mind to close all doors but mine.)) Brol told Amethyst.

Amethyst did as Brol instructed slowly closing the imagined doors in her mind, she started to slowly calm down as the voices slowly thinned out. (( It ... it’s working ... ))

Brol still there added, (( I will not forsake you. I do not wish to leave this ship any longer. May I stay here, with you? I can help you evolve your new gifts.))

Amethyst was taken by surprise at Brol’s comment. (( But Why? What about your home? ))

(( We are explorers. You need me, your Captain needs me. I will learn to speak people speak.))

(( I would like that )) Amethyst slowly opened her eyes and looked at Tore and Will. “I ... I’m okay, the voices are quieter for now. Brol has been teaching me.”

" You're in contact with that thing after what it did to you?" Will angrily replied.

“Will please!” Amethyst gave him a pleading look. “Brol didn’t intend me any harm! He was trying to help ... I chose to eat the fruit, I wasn’t forced. It’s just ... not like anything I’ve ever felt before.” She looked at the Doctor. “Doctor, I suggest an inhibitor I can adjust. I need something to help me until I can adjust.”

Bjorgo gave her a glare. "Do I tell you how to counsel? Not all the facts I need are in, yet, Lieutenant Aloran." He went back to his scans and reading the data stream on the biobed monitors.

Will turned to exit with intentions to confront Brol but Brol and Eva met them at the door.

" Sir he insisted to come. He adapted to the translator." Eva told Will.

" Will I am not a threat to My Friend or you. She will be fine." Brol said in his automated voice.

" She damn well better be Brol." Will puffed his chest in response. Brol moved to Amethyst.

" Now we can people speak for a while until you are recovered." Brol told Amethyst.

Amethyst nodded but right now she was tired and worn down by all the exertion, she needed sleep. Plus she also wanted to get home to Kal, to reassure him she was alright.

Will left sickbay upset but could feel Amethyst worry for Kal. He never liked people probing his thoughts and especially didn't today.

The Doctor looked to the Brol. "If you can help, then do so. If not, leave my Sickbay." His eyes met that of a Security officer across the room and behind the Brol, receiving the slightest nod of confirmation that he was ready to respond at a moment's notice. "Well?" Asked Bjorgo, fully intending to make good on his promise as he looked to the alien.

" I will leave this space. I meant no harm healer," the automated voice replied. Ensign Eva Humphreys escorted Brol away.

Amethyst looked at Tore. “I ... I’m sorry I didn’t mean to tell you how to do your job. What ... do your readings show?”

"That your synaptic processes are over-reacting to the Brol telepathic stimuli. In other words, he's much stronger than you." Glancing up at his monitors Bjorgo spoke as he was reading. "Also, that--fruit, it seemed to kick your own mental disciplines into high gear." He looked down into her eyes, a stern expression there. "As a medical professional I can say don't eat it if you don't know what it is, or if it's dangerous to your digestive system. This is not necessarily dangerous except for the fact you ingested way too much at once."

“I’m sorry I was just ... trying to make myself useful. The Brol are so different and knowledgable, I trust the Brol not to purposely hurt me.” She massaged her temples, now Brol wasn’t near the voices were getting louder again. The tray nearest to her started to shake again. “Am I ... dong that?!” She looked at Tore. “I’m not a telekinetic, Betazoids can’t do that!”

< A few minutes later >

During Tore’s examination the stimulant he’d given her finally took its tole, Amethyst fell asleep finally getting the rest she’d been needing.

Will returned a few minutes later with Kal. Just to show him his Mum was asleep.

" I know Father. I love you Mummy," Kal whispered.
