Trax walked into the forward lounge as he felt lost and not sure what to do as he calmly and quietly moved through the room to a corner booth to take a seat and go over the minor list of messages from what family and friends that defied the order to isolate him from betazed and others to force him to return home. Trax could get messages to Rax or Ambassador Roni of Betazed for more comfort. He hoped they would make it back before the blockage the planet from others entering or exiting the system. by Starfleet means or the government of Betazed.

As he placed the padd on the table a bit harder than he had intended. As the heard the waitress come over to him. “Hello, Doctor! What can I get for you?” Trax slowly looked towards her. with a truly sad look on his face that she never saw before on him. as he finally spoke. “How about a large chef salad with poppy seed dressing. A large iced tea and a hot fudge sundae.” Trax finally got out. “There is no rush on that Rose.” Trax finished as he turned away as he stared at the table for a long minute before looking out the windows of the local space in view outside the viewports.

Sharah left the captain her daughter to enjoy their meal, uninterrupted by her. As Sharah looked for a table she was suddenly hit by an overwhelming sense of loss and regret, or grief, she wasn’t sure. She realized the mind it came from was Betazoid. How did she know that? Instinct probably. Most Betazoids could recognize another. She looked about identifying the young man the feelings had come from. His all black eyes confirming her thought that he was indeed Betazoid. The last Betazoid she had served with hadn’t liked her too much. But then she had her own issues to work through and Sharah felt like she was afraid other Betazoid would know what she was struggling with and spread her personal business. Which, a Betazoid in their universe, would never do that. She approached the man, her overwhelming empathy making it difficult to ignore her need to help others. She hoped to at least find a kindred spirit from home. “Good evening,” she said. This was awkward for her. Sharah never initiated social interactions. She wasn’t comfortable with them, but the tables were filling up. “I’m sorry to impose on you. The other tables are full, I was hoping you wouldn’t mind the company of another Betazoid.” That sounded awkward even to her. She supposed she should have taken her food back to her quarters. It would be quieter there, but she was trying to make an effort to integrate into the crew and learn to surf above the noise that was beginning to overwhelm.

Trax was taken out of his thoughts. As he heard the ensign approach and asked him a question. As he looked up. “Well hello, ensign.” as he placed a fake smile on as he knew she already knew his feeling before he heard her. As the question set in. “Please!… Your welcome here. I am lt. I mean ensign Trax Suder Jo Medical officer.” Trax said with a true glimmer of happiness it was no ambassador Roni or Rax, but a fell Betazoid is comforting too. Even though he thought they were all banned to talk to him. But never the less he felt that someone felt his sadness. As he finished his phrase it hit a cord hard to him as she would feel a pain at the change in rank he briefly mentioned and corrected. “Have a seat! Ensign… ” He could not recall her name but he believes he had not met her before. As the waitress came over to see what the new arrival would like to eat or drink. “Excuse me Ensign Would you care for something from the kitchen or bar? I am Rose your server.” She said with a smile. She was grateful for her arrival when she did. Rose did not like seeing someone so down in the sorrows. as she waited for her answer.

Sharah set her tray down and took the seat opposite Trax. “Thank you. It’s nice to meet you Trax. I’m En. Sharah Fayth JO Science officer and new lead botanist.” She could feel his pain at the change of his rank, but respected his privacy. It wasn’t any easier because he was also Betazoid, Shara still had to work at keeping the noise at bay. She wasn’t sure what his thought about people being banned to speak with him, but she didn’t ask. He could tell she had her won secrets she wanted to keep.
When the waitress returned Sharah shook her head at Rose pointing at her tray she had set on the table. “Thank you, Rose, but I had already ordered from the replicator. Thank you though.” She took a sip of her water. “I just arrived by transport this morning.”

“Very good ensign. Doctor your food will be up soon.” Rose commented with a smile. “If you need anything more let me know ensign.” Rose said with a smile. “Ensign Sharah Fayth is it! Nice to meet you too. To be honest with you I am surprised you are even talking to me with the gag order from betazed,” Trax said with a straight face. “But thank you just the same its nice to talk to a Betazoid just the same. So have followed the rules and other broke them I am surprised they did not ship me back there along with the other betazoids.” Trax said with a bit of anger in his voice as he tried to hide it. “I am sorry ensign I am not better company. But how are you liking the ship?” Trax asked her.

Sharah looked stunned, “A gag order? From Betazed?” She spoke with her parents regularly, and Andrew, her brother, would have told her if something serious was going on at home, that her parents wanted to shield from her. “I don’t know about any gag order. But I make my own decisions. Out here, on a star ship, I am under star fleet orders, not the orders of the planetary government. And even if they did, for someone like me, a gag order would be near to impossible to adhere to.” Something else he said caught her attention, “They shipped other Betazoid’s back to Betazed? Why? What happened?” Obviously Sharah had not heard about any of this.

Sharah dismissed his apology with a wave of his hand. “Don’t apologize. It’s not necessary. You are welcome company among the plethora of strangers. So far I’m not sure. Everyone here has been very welcoming. She’s much bigger than what I am used to. My last two assignments were discovery class vessels. 13 decks total. Ark Angel is a monster.” She said with a laugh.

Trax did not know what to say at first but his mind started to piece things together. “Thank you, ensign.” Trax said finally. “MY mother started the hell for me she couldn’t get her way now my life is a total mess. lost promotion, lost position, now I have been slapped down to ensign and jo officer again. As usual, she wanted control of my life. I heard a few were sent home because of the change the planetary government and there view being clouded by my mother since she is one of the larger houses on betazed beside the house of Troi and the monarch.” Trax waved the waitress down and asked for a Sumerian sunset as he sighed hard before continuing.” Ambassador Roni and his aide Rax had to steal me back and bring me back to the archangel because of the unrest and upheaval my mother caused. so there is a gag order and I am exiled from returning home and there are threats of them hiring Orion mercenaries now to attempt to kidnap me. so that’s one reason for the heightened security. And now there on betazed gathering the rest of what they need before returning to the ark angel as a resident ambassador.” Trax said he felt lost again. “I am sorry ensign for putting my baggage on you that is for me to give the counselor.”

Sharh could feel his sense of loss. To never be able to return home again. Betazed had never felt like home for her. With her gift being what it was, she was a pariah even where she should have felt sanctuary. But she had discovered that home, for her, was a person, a feeling that she choose for herself. It wasn’t a place that was forced upon her at birth. “I am sorry Trax. I can not imagine being in your position. But if you will forgive the bluntness,” and wasn’t that funny, Betazoids were notoriously blunt, but being among other species for so long Sharah had learned that tact became a necessary skill, “the larger houses have far too much power and self importance. After the resistance and occupation by the Dominion I would have thought that our people would understand that. It wasn’t just the great houses that saved our people. It was all of us, no matter the size or age of the house. It’s too bad for us as a people.” She took a bite of her food and then washed it down with her drink. “Betazed was never much of a home for me. Perhaps you will find where you really belong out here with this crew, or perhaps another.” She found it strange though that his mother could force the captain to demote him and remove him from his position. That wreaked of rotten fish to her.

Trax ate his food and soaked up her words as he thought on them. Your right but it was not the captain star fleet command went over her head to demote me. even protesting the command or order it did no good. I was demoted.” As trax tried to clarify the matter. “But your right or at least I hoped it would be alright, But I might have no choice but to go into hiding. That would mean resigning my commission and losing my career here and become a lost soul of the universe.” Trax commented with a heavy heart. “And i would of course lose everything that is left, what friends I have, my lover and what I have left of the family.”
