”..I’m never too busy to help one of my crew lieutenant. Especially once a question is posed to me. Especially in a question similar in some ways to my own experiences..” Drudoc said.

”..You see lieutenant my father wanted to control me in similar ways as your mother. Wanted me to be the ‘good little Romulan’ who went off to bring fear to our enemies. He wanted to see me married off to some political suitor to bring prestige to him and our family. But I wasn’t. I had dreams of my own to one day join Starfleet, to show the Federation not all Romulans were war mongers who wanted to conquer and control and manipulate. For that desire I first tried to join the Exchange program in 2380 a year before I actually got in. He had thugs in the slums where we lived beat me to a pulp and....more…” She said pausing a moment, “..to prevent me from making it to the Exchange program meeting. I ended up serving in the Empire fleet for a year which hardened me for the following year when I tried again. Again he tried the same thing but that year in space had changed me, hardened me beyond what some thugs could do to terrorize a younger me. My father in that time had become a drunkard of a man lost to his once proud fleet days of conquering helpless races..” She said.

Sitting back and crossing her legs together she continued, “..Were I in your shoes now I would have done what you did most likely. But I also by now would have turned about and fought back. You are your own man, you have rights as a Federation citizen and no one woman no matter their ill begotten influence can change that. I’d find a way to fight back to earn back your citizenship on Betazed to challenge your mother and decide your own destiny one day..” She said looking the CMO strongly in the eyes, her dark green raven colored eyes meeting his own. “..But that’s just me..” she said.

“Thank you, captain, for the brief story and history lesson. But I believe the Ambassador posts to be trying diplomat channels on Betazed and the federation itself as well. This may cause a rippling effect in the government and might cause them to see reason but I doubt it will stop mother.” Trax spoke quickly giving the captain an update. “I am afraid it might get worse before it getting better. And I want to apologize ahead of time.”

”..Having the Ambassadors help is the first step, Lieutenant. But facing your inner demons about your mother is equally as important. You need to stand up to her when that time comes. It will have a greater impact on your path to finding your own destiny then having another bring it to you, even if it is a loved one or friend..” She said.

Drudoc rose. “..Thank you again for your time then Doctor. Let me know if there is something I can do to assist in the future, and if your Mother is crazy enough to try something while we’re out here she will come to regret it one way or another..” She stated.

Trax listened intently to her and her advice. As he attempted to assimilate all the information. The doctor nodded at her observations and advice. “Thank you for taking the time to get your eval done sir. I knew you were rather busy and thanks for listening to me as well. Please stop by anytime sir! You’re more than welcome as a friend and associate. For social interaction, cards anything.” Trax said as he stood and watched as the captain exited his office and sickbay.
