Seeing Fayth’s panic intensify Joseph felt it start to come over him, and he began to feel just as panicked as the Doctor, his body began to shaking and his own field of vision began to waiver. ’ NO’ he thought, he was not going to fall into the same state as Sharah. Rainns closed his eyes took a moment to calm himself, he flushed out the feeling and he felt his body stop shaking as she communicated to him. He opened his eyes, his field of vision restored, ‘I can do this’ his hand went to his combadge, =^= Rainns to sickbay, Medical Emergency, Security office deck 7, I need a 50 ml Melorazine sedative right now stat =^= In a few moments a doctor had rushed in with the requested sedative, after Rainns explained the situation to her, she administered the sedative, Rainns watched anxiously to see if the drug had any effect.

The Melorazine started working fairly quickly. It made her groggy and began to relax her. She wasn’t ready to open her eyes just yet. She let the doctor take her vitals. She kept breathing letting the sedative work. ‘The dams broke.’ Joseph had never heard her talk about a dam. She still had ahold of his hand. The noise was washing over her but the Melorazine made her not care. She focused on the physical contact, ‘I owe you dinner now.’ ‘There…a little girl…’ she was trying to figure out how she ended up down in the security office yelling about a phaser range. ‘what…what did I do?’

The doctor wanted her to move to sick bay, but Sharah shook her head. She wasn’t going to get up yet. The NE doctor looked Rainss, “Lt. I have to get back, I’m the only one on duty. I don’t want her to move too soon, but she won’t be able to go anywhere alone. If her breathing changes call me. Let me know when she’s ready and I can come back for her. Dr. Fayth.” She looked at Sharah, “I have to call Lt. Mika.”

Rainns nodded his head as the doctor left the room, “Will do doc,” he responded. He look down at Sharah, ‘What is going on?’ he thought to her, bewildered. His own concern was up, by was not as heightened as it had been moments before. He wanted understand what was going on in her head, ‘Any chance we could link, let me see what’s in your mind right now?’

She was very groggy, her breath slow and stead, ‘pain?’ she reached out to answer her own question and didn’t feel any, but he hadn’t been there, would she know? ‘I..’ she simply let the connection go. There was an image of multiple small dams in her head, the noise … Joseph saw the idea, it was a filter for what she was hearing, and it broke. She tried to convey the idea, she had been using it for several days. ‘Meditate after shift, release the dams’ she trailed off a bit sleepily, ‘not sleeping…Lt. Mika…waited too long. Needed help.’ The sudden over flow of all those thoughts hit her too hard and she couldn’t process it properly in the overflow. Her thoughts weren’t erratic, Joseph could tell she was getting sleepy from the sedative, but more from the sudden drop of adrenaline from the panic. ‘Little girl in sick bay…’ you got the impression she identified a little too much with the little girl’s helpless rage.

The little effort Joseph had put into stopping Fayth from being able to sense him dropped, He pushed his thoughts outward as much as he could so the Doctor could sense all his emotions and thoughts just as clear as anybody else’s. He gripped her hand tightly as suddenly he felt himself in her mind. He could see what happened, feel the disorientation, and sense the fustration that was building inside Fayth’s head. He began to irradiate feelings of order, calmness, and peace that existed in his mind and transfer some to Sharah, that way if she entered his mind hopefully it could act as a comforting agent to help bring her some peace. ’ You are welcome to come into my head’ he thought as he made sure he stayed open, ‘I’m sure its a little less chaotic at the moment.’

Sharah tried to push him back from cleaning up her head, ‘stop…that makes your head hurt. Been researching. Just words, no headache.’ In all the chaos his ordered mind was a haven. ‘how do you do it? Stay so clear’ She would love to have that mental strength, but she took his offer. ‘I won’t make it will I? I can’t make it 2 weeks in Star Fleet’ She was heartbroken ’ We thought the dams would work. What did I do wrong?’
Cadet Fayth, Doctor

Rainns smirked, ‘I don’t mind a small headache for this, the way I keep my head space so clean is just addressing an issue that threatens to stress me out immediately, that way negative thoughts can’t permeate my head. You can make it, you’ve made it this far already, now is not the time to accept defeat’ Joseph saw the mental dam that Sharah had spoken of, but it was blown apart. ‘who thought the dams would work?’ he asked curiously

L.T. J.G. Joseph Rainns- COS

‘I mind’ Sharah had to think hard before she answered, she’d made a promise she had to keep it. No it wouldn’t break the promise, ‘my new friend, Ashlyn. She helped me come up with it. I..had…hard day… she offered help. Practice every day.’ She felt sad to him, ‘can’t help others when I’m like this…not good doc for…for…patience.’ She wasn’t going to make it to sick bay with the meds. That was obvious. It was probably time to call Lt. Mika. Sharah’s head fell to the side, the meds working, her mind was still totally chaotic, but at least she was physically relaxed.

Cadet Fayth, Doctor

Rainns could feel reluctance on Sharah’s part to discuss the dam, but at the moment he didn’t care about that. As her head slumped, Joseph put his hand underneath it and lifted her up into a position where he could cradle her upper body, ‘stay with me doc’ he thought. He could tell she was phyiscally calmer, but the dam was still loosing water, in her mind, Rainns tried something that he didn’t think would work but it was something. He attempted to at least partially wall up the dam with his mental energy, to act as a momentary band aid as long as the link was active. He felt the surge of all her senses smash into his stable enviroment, but he withstood the surge, focusing his mental energy at the dam, hopefully blocking up at least part of the gap.

=^= NE Doctor to Lt. Mika. There was a medical emergency in the security office. You told us to tell you if something happened to Cadet Fayth. I had to leave her there to come back, but Lt. Rainss is supposed to call when she is able to move. =^=

‘Not going anywhere, don’t want to, it’s nice here.’ Sharah’s eyes flashed open, ‘how?’ The shock of what he had done brought her out of her stuppor some. No…no not too much, Joseph…not so hard…can’t be stopped …totally....you’re....oh…your intuition…yes I see now.’
Cadet Fayth, Doctor

=^= Lieutenant Mika to NE Doctor. I’m on my way. Tell Cadet Fayth to stay where she is for now. =^=
Mika did not take medical emergency calls lightly. She raced down the halls of the ship, toting a med kit. When she is able to move? Did she get hurt somehow? Mika wondered, worriedly. Small and fit, Mika was a fast runner, and she was there in a matter of minutes, breathing heavily. “What happened?” She asked Lieutenant Rainns. She wanted answers quickly, to decide whether they needed to get Cadet Fayth to the Sickbay.

As shocked and relieved as she was for the respite she knew. Joseph had offered a refuge so he couldn’t hide it. ‘Joseph, stop…please. It won’t hurt me, you…you aren’t strong enough for all that…yet…one day…please you’ll loose your gift…please.’ She tried to remove the bandaid herself, but was too groggy to focus her thoughts to do it.

Sharah heard Lt Mika arrive. ‘Think she’ll be mad at me?’ She tried to wave, but her body was too groggy to respond.

Cadet Fayth, Doctor

Rainns pushed aside his own pain to respond to Mika. “She came in disoriented, and then collapsed, complaining about too much sound in her head,” Joseph looked down at Fayth, “I’m not really sure what else to tell you, she’s being overwhelmed by too much input into her paracortex it looks like.”

OOC: Split the thread but I think I fixed it

Mika nodded. “Let’s get her to Sickbay. We can try to control how many people are around her at a time, try to let her rest…” And then she looked at Fayth and said, “Is that okay, Cadet?” She wondered why Fayth was in the shooting range, but she decided to ask later. That was unimportant. Less knowledgeable than she wanted to be about what to do, she figured the best thing to do was try to relieve the mental strain on the Cadet. It didn’t help that even among Betazoids, Fayth’s condition was fairly rare.

~ Lt. JG Mika, CMO

Sharah couldn’t really answer her. So she told Joseph, not really aware of the consequences if he spoke for her. The sedative amount was the lowest dose but it worked fast on her. ‘battle sickbay....quieter…closer’ She’d rather go to her quarters but she wasn’t going to argue with the doctor.
