“It was like… reality was flickering.” Elena explained just before the office doors opened, revealing Lt Shock on the other side. Shock and crew could see the whole scene with both counselors as it was playing out inside the office.

Shock did not expect to see Kingston there – his relief was hindered by confusion. Was she a hologram? A projection? There had been no readings of her. Who is this Elena – unknown lifeform. He had heard of the Shai’s counterpart that Kingston had spoken to, but none of the readings made sense. He indicated to Rasal to keep scanning and report any changes.

“Hello,” he said, walking in with his team to the room, and introducing himself. “I am Shock, a colleague of Dr Kingston’s. WIth me are crewmen Skaarg, Rasal, and Zheng Longhua.”

Janna was surprised to have others enter the scene given the oddities they had experienced.

He turned to Kingston.

“Dr Kingston, are you alright?”

– Lt Shock (COS)

“Yeah, I’m fine,” she said with a nod. “Besides being a little weirded out.” She turned back to the other therapist. “Elena, can you scan us with a tricorder and see what you get?” Kingston was hoping they might be able to add more info to the growing bizarre situation that would help it all make sense.

Shock reciprocated the nod. Meanwhile, Rasal did the same scan for themselves and for the two counsellors in front of them.

Elena nodded and retreated a tricorder from her desk. After a few seconds of scanning, she said “I only detect the two of us. Mind introducing me to your friends though? They seem real enough.”

Though Shock had already given their names, context mattered and they didn’t know Elena. “Lieutenant Shock, this is Elena Jannson, the Shai’s counsellor. Elena, Lieutenant Shock, our Chief of Security, members of his security team, Crewmen Skaarg, Rasal, and Zheng Longhua.”

“I wonder if the proximity matters, and there is a threshold you have to step over in order to register on a scan. Can you scan for a barrier? We might need to get someone from Science to run a deeper scan with internal sensors.” Kingston knew they were listening up on the Bridge still, but for the moment it was easier to focus on what was right before her.
