I feel the bottom drop out of my stomach... It's so immeasurably large and real... how do you measure a mind? I squeeze both Cora's and Ksenia's hands, and like a flea on an elephant, I psi-send... I don't know, something... // me at my sketchbook,…
-
"We're about to find out..." I sound less nervous than I feel. Ksenia may pick up on it. It's probably blindingly obvious to Cora. I move closer to Ksenia, close my eyes and reach out to hold her hand. I take a deep breath, and... / cora are you re…

I can't drive a boat, but it's very relaxing to be on the ocean. I enjoy the whine of the engines, the fresh air whipping by, the occasional spritz of water on my skin... and Ksenia's eyes on me. I smile a little secret smile and pretend I don't kno…
-
I nod once, small, to myself, and set my jaw. You got this, Mei. You're be fine. I open my mind a little, and "reach" out to "hold" Cora's "hand" since I don't want Ksenia to see how much I want to hold hers. I look at my tablet's deckplan, noting …
-
"You're right." She's right. Of course she's right. I tap a few keys to the systems to finish up, then stand slowly, pressing my palms to the table. I steal a few glances at her, not really trusting myself to not kiss her on the nose in gratitude (e…

"Thank you, Church... It's still hard to grasp the sheer physical size of the raft. I got the data squirt, I'm reviewing the data now... Seems like Hartman might be easiest to communicate with, if possible." I'm working on my pad, looking back and …
-
I want to go through the systems and account for all the people. It will be short work, now that we know where to look. I also want to move them, but that's somehow... unseemly. "I think the last two are on a boat out at the raft. Yeng tried somethi…
-
"Agreed." I pull myself to my feet, smiling at her attitude, still holding her hand. "Maybe the bridge can do a lifeform scan?" I purse my lips."And we need to account for and rule out any submersibles, perhaps with a sonar sweep."
-
"ohhhh," I say softly, my hand relaxing into Ksenia. "We can't do a wall. They're still connected." My eyes lose their focus. With a note of sadness, I say, "And two are missing, maybe dead. Unless they're surviving somehow...?"
-
I consider, my excitement draining into facts. "There's a possibility that they're not trapped in their bodies, but instead trapped out there. On the raft. I have no idea what a psi wall would do." I slap the table with the heel of my hand, frustrat…
-
The chair squeaks as I turn around to face Ksenia, looking up, still holding her hand. "I have an idea. A psi wall might be the answer, if I can set it up to block any influence from the raft. We might get the crew back, all at once!" I focus, and …
-
I reach up and clasp her hand, my soft fingers twining into her metal ones, and I squeeze hard. "I..." I really wish we had a few more hands. "I'd rather try to help the crew first before venturing out to the raft or doing any diving. How far away i…
-
I hold, mid-keystroke. "It's reaching out to me." I keep the budding fear from overwhelming into something worse. "I don't want to be... lost like they are."
-
"Almost a third of the crew." I mutter. I can wait the few hours for the roster before I try a psi-scan of someone. I nervously glance at Atkinson. Her quiet breath sounds louder than it should. I really don't want to be alone when I try to touch th…

"Ensign Cribbage," I say over the comm. "This will take some time." My brow is furrowed in concentration and I occasionally chew on my lip or tap a fingernail against my teeth in thought.

Discovery - (Rolled: 1d10. Rolls: 3. Total: 3) Science - (Rolled: 1d8. Rolls: 5. Total: 5) Lourdes - (Rolled: 1d6. Rolls: 1. Total: 1)
-
Discovery - d10 - I'm determined to know who's here, and why, and what for, and anything else I can know! We have to help the Psi Corps staff. Science - d8 - I crack my knuckles and get to work on these databases. Lourdes - d6 - She can remotely pro…
-
The personnel list is first. I want to know more about who's here. Hopefully, that will give me more insight into what happened.
-
My heart is warmed, and a smile bursts free. I give her a friendly wave and almost blow her a kiss as she goes, but I keep it in check. Let's see what I can pull out of the system.
-
I nod, still running through possibilities and potentials in my mind, working at the console. "Let's keep comms open, okay?" I keep the unease out of my voice.
-
I'm thinking of the Dauntless as I stare at the holo. I'm fascinated, tracing the paths and wondering at the marvels of the universe, of evolution. It's clearly a mind, but its brain is made of of "cells" that are different multicellular species. Ho…
-
I blink, taken aback. No, I didn't mean with psi. What if it's contagious? Be brave, Mei. Conscious of the open comm, I nod back. "I'm on it." Now, let's go find the Psi Corps crewperson. I step into the corridor and look both ways before following…
-
I give her a look, curious and attuned to her touches and hints and somethings in her voice. "Should I take a look?" She's probably already updated the "found" roster, but I don't check it yet. Another Psi Corps down. Hopefully, they've left notes…
-
Softly, I say, "Oh, wow." I stand stock-still for a second, blinking slowly. My eyes are almost but not quite out of focus, and a flicker in the back of my mind wonders about psi and AI... Ksenia comes back and I shake my head, tuck a stray bit o…
-
My mouth quirks. "I'm not sure tapdancing on an alien's brain for first contact is on my bucket list, but we need to finish our sweep." Ksenia knows just what to say to cheer me up, but I notice she didn't answer about a tandem psi-link. I'm alread…
-
I look at her suddenly, worried. "Do you really want to link and go in?" I'm not sure if that's a great idea. We haven't canvassed the whole ship yet, which adds to my nervousness.
-
I'm staring at the monitor, fascinated by the patterns I can almost make out. "I'm going to have to go in there, K." I murmur. I clench one fist, reminding myself to blink.
-
There's a lab and a fitness area on this level. I follow Ksenia, my eyes seeking everywhere. She gives me a quick look. Of course I'm thinking about whatever may have affected the crew psionically, but I'm being cautious... on two fronts. I don't w…
-
I look at her with a bit of concern, she sounds a little strained. Surely she's not as weirded out as me? "Ensign Cribbage," smiling a little, trying to reassure her, which itself is a little backwards, "It's puzzling. Even a comatose person needs w…

"Very odd," I muse at the reading. "Church, maybe there's something earlier? We'll keep exploring." I roll my hand, gesturing at Dr. Wong lying crumpled. "It's like they just... stopped." My empathy tears at me.
