“And unfortunately, a being can’t avoid stress in life, no matter what you do. But you can mitigate the worst of it. Look, we could sit here all day, but I think we hav a good direction to go in. So what I’m going to propose is that I give you some homework. Then you and I can meet next week, in a location of your choosing and you can tell me how the homework went. That sound fair?”

Liam exhaled deeply, silently agreeing with her. Knowledge thrived better with tests than theories in the end.

“Yes, it does. I can manage a little homework as long I’m still allowed to resume my duties. As for where to meet next week, I suggest the holodeck.” He knew the location was odd, but it allowed more security options than here.

-CSO, Liam J. Madison, Sci.

Janna gave a reassuring smile. “What you’re experiencing is simply a need for some guidance, Liam. That’s rarely a reason to pull someone from duty. So… homework: I simply want you to keep a daily record of when you notice your… companion becoming agitated, and what activities or actions alleviate your stressors. Just be your already observant self and we’ll talk about it on the holodeck next week. Any places you absolutely would not want to find yourself at on the holodeck?”
