Kane sat in his messy office looking at rhe latest data from Myqian’s headband. It looked good, stable and seemed to be effective. But that was just data points on a screen. He pressed the comms and said =/\= Hey. Come see me when you get a chance. Have some questions for ya. =/\=

Kane, CSO / R&D

=/\=Can do, just give me a little bit. Myqian out.=/\=

About half an hour later, Dira poked her head into his office with a knock. “Hey, what did you need?”

Commander Myqian, XO

The was, as usual, a wreck… but it was his wreck, so there was that. “C’mon in.” and he closed the door behind her. “So… how’s the head? How’s the accessory working out? Do we need more in varying colors? Maybe jeweled cat’s ears for those meetings with the brass?”

Kane, CSO / R&D

Dira laughed a little. “Well, as much as that would be interesting, the less noticeable on duty, the better. Getting an exemption for it is easy, since it’s a medical device, but I’d rather not draw attention to it. However, much fancier and you know it’s actually very similar to the headpieces Haliians wear for formal events of all kinds. Go all out and it’d be a wedding one. Not quite the impression I want to give, but having a fancier one for formal events where I might need the break might not be a bad idea.”

“As for my head, it works.” She paused, frowning a little. “Though I’m not sure if your data is skewed at all. Fortunately I didn’t use it while the other stuff was going on, so it should be fine.”

Commander Myqian, XO

He shrugged. “Data is meant to be skewed. As long as it skews in our favor, that is.” He reached out and said “Lemme see it real quick.”

Kane, CSO / R&D

Dira handed over the case that contained the headband. It was almost a relief to hand it over, even though the device had a practical purpose that was much needed. But now she was conflicted.

Kane opened it and began to examine it, making sure it was wearing well and not breaking down anywhere. As he did, he said “What’s on your mind? And remind me to invite you to poker night. Your face is easier to read than Alexis’s recipies.”

Kane, CSO/ R&D

Myqian snorted and leaned against the wall. “So, I do need the band and I think it will be useful in certain instances. I guess I’m struggling right now because what seemed to be my mind being overloaded, was actually Franks pulling a slightly different trick than he used to back on the Calypso. Here though, it was like he was pinging my senses. But nothing and no one would be there. So eventually I thought I was losing my mind and went to the counsellor. So then we dampened the hell out of my telepathy with a neurosuppressant. So I couldn’t read the situation well and he was able to sneak up on me in a way he couldn’t of had I had full use of my telepathy. So yeah, after being abducted and held in a small maintenance space I’m a little nervous about willingly blocked my abilities again,” she said dryly.
