Setting up a time that worked for both of them, Dira made her way to the Counselling Suite and the COP’s office to have what could be a pivotal meeting for a new member of their crew. Before Mariah could have that meeting with said member, Myqian had an awful lot to fill Grayson in on about the woman known as Corinne Dalton.

She arrived right on time and pressed the chime.

Once admitted, Myqian stepped in and gave Mariah a tiny smirk. “I’m not sure if you’re going to appreciate the challenge I have for you or curse me later. I promise I won’t take it personally if you do.”

Mariah’s eyebrows shot up as she gestured for the Captain to take a seat, but her eyes revealed she was more intrigued than alarmed. “I happen to like challenges, and if you’re here, I can only assume this has something to do with a member or members of the crew? If so, I committed to at least trying first before cursing,” she added with a chuckle.

Dira chuckled as well as well before blowing out a breath and tapped the PADD she carried on her thigh before she took a seat. “This goes without saying, but what we’re going to talk about is highly confidential. But more than that, Mariah, we must be very careful about what official records show versus the truth you are going to hear.”

“Okay, so we have a new and unexpected crewmember. She has a history of trauma and she’s very well aware of it. And up until very, very recently she, as a fully conscious and sentient being, existed within a ship’s computer. She was fully Human and lived that way till an accident on a holodeck that is very complicated had her physical body de while preserving her consciousness. Two years ago she disappeared from the ship’s computer, no trace, and three weeks ago showed up here on the Ogawa contained in a small but powerful device, delivered to us by an unknown person. Another long story short that I will not get into fully to protect you, is that this person, this Starfleet officer, was integrated into a new biological body that is fully Human, except for the positronic brain that contains apparently not only all teh memories that weren’t corrupted when she was forcible removed from her former ship, but also a great deal of the Federation database that she had been immersed in constantly.” She gestured with a knowing smirk, understanding that what she was saying was probably shocking or confusing or unbelievable, and most likely all three at the same time.

Mariah pursed her lips and slowly let the air escape between them, the only reaction she revealed outwardly. She was still processing what had been shared, but truly, the most troubling sentiment had been what the Captain offered before offering a single detail about the crew member in question. Maintaining confidentiality when it came to a crewmember’s mental health didn’t need to be stated, but to suggest that things not be related as accurately as they presented was troubling. “Do we have reason to believe she is in danger from someone higher up in Starfleet? Is that why I have to be… circumspect with what I report?”
