Saoir, the solitary Kelpian aboard the USS Leviathan, found himself adrift in the sea of isolation on the vast starship. He had always been reserved, even among his own kind, but the feeling of not belonging intensified among the diverse crew of the Federation vessel. To make matters worse, his primary duty as a Starfleet officer and the unofficial rule enforcer on the ship tasked him with pointing out inefficiencies the crew displayed in the rules and regulations and reporting them to the XO or CO. This added to the distance between him and his shipmates. Many perceived him as overbearing, given his constant vigilance in observing their actions and interactions. But Saoir’s intentions were rooted in his commitment to duty, rather than any personal desire to be distant. He understood that trust needed to be earned, but this realization did little to ease his growing sense of isolation.

One day, Saoir mustered the courage to seek help from the ship’s counselor, Lieutenant Nyman. As he stood outside the counselor’s office, a flood of conflicting emotions washed over him. He didn’t trust the counselor, but he couldn’t pinpoint the reasons behind this mistrust. However, he was the ship’s counselor and was the only one he could talk to in confidence.

With a deep breath, Saoir pressed the chime and waited to enter the room.
