The doors whooshed open then and T’Pris made her way quickly into the ICU, her eyes already on the container that held the mother and offspring. Her empathic link had survived the beaming and she made her way over to the container and checked the settings on the system to be sure that the conditions had correctly been set up so that the creatures continued to receive the hydrogen and environment that they required. She checked on their condition to see if there had been any deleterious effects from the beam.
“Ms. Reez.” She said in greeting though it was distracted, both from her continuing to read the panels and half her attention being on her empathic contact. Her gaze flicked to Anisha once as she realized she had no idea who the woman was.

Mel gave a nod in reply. “Hello,” she replied softly as she considered the interesting situation they were in.

Anisha smiled at T’Pris and it was the very same smile she had received moments ago from her twin brother, even the dimple forming on those cheeks was the same.

“I’m Anisha, Arun’s twin sister. We have a constant mind link, so I know every word you’ve just exchanged with him in sickbay. I know its a bit disconcerting… but we can’t really change that I’m afraid.” she said. Her voice had a deep timbre as well, but it was a lot softer than Arun’s. She had the same tone of blond hair, only fell past her shoulders in soft waves. All in all their look favoured the male genes. Arun would be considered dashing and handsome by many, while on Anisha it looked fine, but not really beautiful.

“I do not find it disconcerting at all. Efficient actually.”T’Pris said as she continued to scan the console, making adjustments where needed. “Did I hear correctly that there is a male creature as well? Will it be coming here?”

Anisha smiled at the comment, warming up to T’Pris. “Yes that’s correct, it will be here soon.” she kept smiling at T’Pris a bit longer and added.
“Say, you are telepathic as well? As in, without touch?” she asked carefully.

• Anisha

“Yes. Though my people do have some with high psi quotients, I was typical telepathically wise until an unusual contact with a strongly telepathic species that unintentionally altered my paracortex. Increasing my telepathic ability and range. It has proven…a mixed gift. Tressex has postulated a way to reverse the effect but I am not certain I wish too. ” T’Pris stopped suddenly and turned to stare at Anisha. She normally wasn’t so forthright and open and wondered what about the other woman had suddenly made her so. She sensed no mental persuasion. She noted the other woman’s warm smile and wondered if it was the sense of friendliness she was emitting that had drawn it from her. Adrian Sorel would have a theory for it no doubt, she mused. She turned back to the console as there was no way she could take back what she had shared now.

She then felt something that was by all intense and purpose a mental knock on her mind’s door so to say, clearly coming from Anisha in a very soft and tender way, ready to withdraw at a blink.
“That sounds like an intriguing story to tell, thank you for sharing that with …us. I’d love to have somebody else on the ship to whom I could talk telepathically. It’s so much faster and easier than words.” Anisha said, somewhat shyly.

• Anisha

Still feeling slightly uncomfortable T’Pris answered. Her telepathic sending wasn’t as smooth or as confident as Anisha’s.Indeed. Her mental voice was as dry and emotionless as her audio voice would have been.

Anisha simply gave her a warm smile and nodded.

Melaia turned as the door to the lab opened and people entered. Her ebony eyes were fixated on the tray a med officer was wearing and she could see it was a similar creature to the female. “Looks like we’re about to have a family reunion,” she said with a hint of excitement.

T’Pris’ brow rose but she swiftly stepped back to allow the NE’s to approach.

NE Ferso smiled at everyone, with Ally and Pilar in tow. “Howdy folks. I have a present for you. Or rather, for her,” he said gazing at the container. “It’ll just be a moment.” He set the tray down on the table near the container and then moved over to a console.

Ferso tapped his commbadge. =/\=Alright. We’re ready.=/\=

The male gastropod shimmered and was beamed into the hydrogen-rich container along with the female and the eggs.

For a couple minutes, nothing happened, but the telepaths would note that the anger from the male has faded quickly. The female’s vital were still strong and the male’s were improving.

“I am noticing a drop in aggressive emotion from the male creature.”T’Pris murmured as she continued to monitor the female and young. She wasn’t directly tied to the male at the moment but could definitely feel the other creatures emotions once he was near the female. “The females vitals are strong and stable.”

As the male got stronger, things changed. it wasn’t obvious at first, but soon they would see that the two gastropods were moving closer together. When they touched, they began to glow. The computer noted the electrochemical communication, of which the patterns showing on the screen were very close to what one would expect of brain scans during active thoughts. The two creatures exuded happiness and almost a relief.

T’Pris’ breath rushed out in surprise as she noted the reaction and she took a quick step toward the container. “They recognize each other. I sense positive emotion and lessening of stress. I also sense …”She cocked her head as she probed gently with her mind toward the pair.”I think they are communicating in some manner. I sense an exchange of information or perhaps it is emotion.”She glanced up at Anisha.”Can you get anymore from them?”
