“All in a Days Work”

 

Mona stood on the bridge wrapped in the energy of their new guest. She had been trying to communicate that by it draining the ships power it was hurting the crew. She looked around her and thought, “Obviously I didn’t quiet make myself clear.” She was starting to get slightly frustrated. Everyone on the bridge kept telling her if the being drained any more power they would have to take drastic action. It didn’t take a warp drive specialist to know that. She knew her first duty was to the ship and its crew. She was a doctor after all; it was part of the job. She shook her head and wondered if anyone on the bridge realized what it was like to try and communicate with this thing. When they tried to dock the ship and the being had been overwhelmed so had she. Not only was her head still sore from the mental impact but also her body ached because she had stumbled back into a bulkhead when it happened. Trying to contain some of her emotions so that the energy being didn’t sense it she stared at Jamie. What did he think she was? It wasn’t as easy as it seemed. What most people always forgot about Mona was the fact that she was only half Betazoid. Because of the accident when she was a child she had spent a lot more time than most honing her skills. Years of painstaking work, hours spent with doctors and hundreds of experiments had gotten her to where she was today. Even tho her skills were strong she wasn’t an expert on contact with new life forms. This was out of her area of expertise and she didn’t like the feeling. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, quickly trying to regroup. She remembered her grandmother had once told her “You can do anything you want with grace and dignity as long as you don’t ever give up.” She opened her eyes, looked at Jamie and smiled sweetly all the while thinking, “I will not sacrifice this ship nor will I sacrifice the innocent life form. There will be a compromise or I will die trying to find one.
