The turbolift stopped at deck thirty three. The door opened and off steped a human looking woman. She stepped out into the corridor and looked around. A PADD in her hand as she used it to navigate the corridors of the deck to get to her location. She headed towards the psychological suite. Turning towards the door she stepped into the compartment. She looked thoughtful as she observed those around. The fiery red haired woman had her hair up in a braided bun. She looked around the compartment before she stood off to the side, waiting.
Lt.J.G Kevasi Tulbrad, CMO

Dr. Tulbrad was approached by a dark-skinned, ebony-eyed Betazoid woman with jet-black straight hair that fell past her waist. Both her hands were behind her back as she said, “You must be Dr. Tulbrad, the new CMO.” Keitah as she removed one hand from behind her back and extended it in greeting with a warm smile.

Naisyr, Counselor

Tulbrad smiled in turn and accepted the hand. She gave it a firm grip and a smile. “I didn’t expect to run into another betazoid…” she says her face portrayed some pleased shock. Though she quickly recovered and nodded. “Yes, I am Kelvasi Tulbrad.” Her smile judt as bright as before, “A pleasure to make your acquaintance.”
Dr. (Lt.J.G) Kevasi Tulbrad

“Likewise,” said Keitah. “I am LeKeitah Naisyr. Ship’s counselor. Why don’t we go into my office?” she said as she motioned for the woman to follow her. “Dr. Tulbrad, where were you stationed before you were placed on the Chimera?” she asked as they walked to her office.

Naisyr, Counselor

Kevasi smiled and nodded, and then followed the woman. She looked thoughtful for a few moments, as they headed onward. “I was on a ship called the USS Iyashi a Phoenix Class Medical Ship. I was quite happy that I happened to be assigned to the ship. I had heard reports that the Iyashi had saved me from the raid on Betazed when I was a mere infant.” She explained softly as they traveled. “I was raised on Earth.”
Dr. (Lt.J.G) Kevasi Tulbrad

“So you served on the ship that rescued you as a child? What a wonderful coincidence that you were assigned to the ship. Was it your first ship assignment?”
Keitah always thought it was a shame that a Betazoid could not be raised on their home planet. Yes, Earth was great but they missed out on all the authentic culture of Betazed. “Have you had an opportunity to spend any significant time on Betazed?” she asked.

Naisyr, Counselor

Kevasi nodded, she chuckled after. “It did seem as though it was a nice coincidence myself. It was actually, after my training ship.” There was a soft sigh and she shook her head. “I was adopted by two doctors that were contracted under the Federation. So I suppose I was put in a position that influenced my joining of Starfleet. My adoptive mother was a physician, and my father a surgeon. I pretty much went through regular schooling, then med school, and then joined up in Starfleet. I haven’t really had time or ability to try to visit Betazed. Maybe I will be lucky and a ship will bring me by it, and I’ll be able to visit.” She explained running a hand through her firey red hair.
Dr. (Lt.J.G.) Kevasi Tulbrad, CMO

Kevasi’s response was filled with a mixture of nostalgia and longing. Keitah smiled and a chuckle escaped her lips as well. “Coincidences are always amusing.” She said as she strolled beside Dr. Tulbrad.
Keitah also noticed her words conveyed a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the opportunities she had been given by her adoptive parents. She wasnt surprised that Kevasi didn’t have a particular longing for Betazed, but there seemed to be some hope of visting in her tone.
“I hope so. That way I can show you around.” Said Keitah. “Your adopted parents, are they human?”

Naisyr, Counselor

Kevasi nodded. “That would be lovely, I would appreciate the tour. My parents… they are. So I’ve had a different upbringing than most I would imagine.” She chuckled softly listening to the councilor. “I heard it’s beautiful.” She said as a somewhat probing slightly offhanded comment.
Dr. (Lt. J.G.) Kevasi Tulbrad,CMO

LeKeitah smiled warmly at Kevasi’s response. “Yes, Betazed is indeed a beautiful planet. It’s known for its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and the unique empathic abilities of its inhabitants. I’m sure you’ll enjoy exploring it when the opportunity arises.”

As they continued walking, Keitah’s curiosity got the better of her. “I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what was it like growing up with human parents? Did you face any challenges or have any interesting experiences?”

Naisyr, Counselor

Kevasi frowned just a little, and then she took in a small breath. “It was difficult at times. They knew what I was, they loved me without question. But… sometimes, well it was difficult on them. Not just on them, but on the children I went to school with… and such. There are not many Betazoids on Earth to my knowledge. So while they knew about our telepathic abilities… it doesn’t make it easy. Especially from a young one who doesn’t know exactly how to control them? It caused unique, interesting… and sometimes disturbing scenarios. No one can help their desires, or sometimes what they think. It led me to grow up quickly. Some are better at hiding it, others are like open books as I’m sure you know. It could cause some discourse, especially when extremely private information comes into the hands of a child which knows nothing of what it means… and trying to find out that information… well… I’m sure you could see where that would go.” She said, as she walked, her hands gesturing as she spoke to emphasize some of her points.
