Ever since Doctor Zarath had informed Carson that he had lost seven years, he found that he had not taken it as well as he thought he would. While Shane Warwick thought that Counselors’, in general, were glorified scam artists, Carson Lowe found that working within the system had it’s perks. So, not really knowing what to do, he found himself at the door of Counselor Nox.

Steeling himself for whatever may happen, he took a deep breath and rang the chime.

Not hearing if the chime sounded on the other side of the door, Lowe rang the chime again. He resisted the urge to ring the chime repeatedly.

Sienna, didn’t always practice in her office. Having just finished a session with a patient, she walked around the corner to see a stranger. It was unusual that there were strangers on the Europa she had not known were visiting. Curious, she walked to her office. “Apologies. I finished my last session in the Arboretum. Please do come in.”

Her smile was polite and warm as the doors opened to her office and the automatic lights came on. To the left sat her desk and to the right a comfortable sitting area. One wall had a glass hanging sculpture and beside it a few shelves with trinkets including a replica of the USS Korolev. “I am Lieutenant Siennadye Nox, the Counselor. What is your name and how can I help you?”

Warwick /Lowe looked around the office to get his bearings while the Counselor introduced herself. He seemed nervous and almost jittery. There was a moment of silence before he realized she had stopped talking. With a visible gulp, he began; “What is my name? that’s a good question. It seems Counselor that that is why I am here to see you today.”

“Before we begin, where is Carlo? I believe that Carlo Di Nappoli is the Counselor assigned to the Europa?”
- Warwick / Lowe

As soon as she entered her office, she pulled up his records on her PaDD and began skimming. While her mind worked on the record of the man at hand, she answered him in an offhand way. “Well, Di Nappoli is currently serving on the OED V outpost. Some gangster rampaged on the colony for a few months and Star Fleet sent some help to deal with the aftermath of his brutality. Before that, he was at Star Fleet headquarters for advanced training. He has been gone from the Europa for some time.”

Zarath must have been correct. If Di Nappoli had been gone for some time, it would help explain his loss of familiarity. He had been trying to reach out to anyone whom he might still know aboard Europa. With Carlo gone it seemed he was just down to The Captain, and Cassidy Abrams.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know. Carlo was a friend…” Warwick/ Lowe began to pace within the office. “My name? My name is Carson Lowe. I’m a Doctor here aboard Europa.”

Her mind continued to process the records and his lost time. A psychologist should be able to think on their feet and Sienna could certainly do that. She smiled as she looked up at him and gestured to the seating area. “Please have a seat. I had heard of your arrival of course, but I did not know when to expect you. Dr. Zarath must have been at least somewhat successful in his treatment of your condition, but I can see it has caused a loss of time. How do you feel about that?”

Taking the seat, Warwick /Lowe was puzzled by what the Counselor said. He did take the offered seat, and decided to answer the last question first. “According to my medical file my condition was at a dangerous level. So it was decided that to give Zarath and I time to find a solution, I would undergo a radical transporter procedure. The outcome was successful and I have bought myself some more years. “

Leaning back on the couch, he continued after a sigh. “How do I feel about that? The procedure prolonged my life. I am grateful for that.”

She shuddered. “Sorry, force of habit that question.” She moved over to sit down in one of the chairs. “I mean to really just ask, how are you coping with that so far.”

Warwick / Lowe looked into the dark eyes of the Betazed Counsellor and could see how folks could be comfortable around her. She had a demeanor seemed to put others at ease. Despite his best efforts, it seemed to be working on him.

“I’m comfortable somewhat, but I am disoriented. Everything that I knew were stable; friends, co-workers, even my quarters, well that is not the case anymore.”
“And then there is something else.” he stated leaning forward, “I think most of the people I have met so far know something about me. I did some thing in those missing seven years that is causing people to treat me differently. You said it yourself just a few moments ago. ‘You had heard about my arrival’. As far as I know, I have been aboard Europa for over a year now.”

“Without violating some temporal prime directive, can you tell me what is going on? What happened to me during my missing seven years?”

• Warwick / Lowe

She understood, perhaps uniquely, what it was like to be lost in the world and she sympathized with his disorientation. Sienna would do all she could to help him reorient himself in this current time because not only was that her job, but also an extreme desire borne from her own experiences with being lost. “I can see how this is all disorienting. I am afraid I can only share with you your personnel file. Psychological files are for myself and of course the Captain and XO. I can tell you, that you did not remain on the Europa for the last 7 years and there is much even we do not know about what happened in those intervening years.” She played with the PaDD settings for a moment and then handed it to him, displaying his personnel file. For the moment, she waited for him to examine it and process it. When he was ready, he would speak to her about his thoughts.
