Episode XIV: Ploys Of The Mind

[Lt Matina Jade]

"You changed your story, why?" she said looking at him sternly.

[Louis de-Point du lac]

"I made a mistake" he replied "details are not needed."

[Lt Matina Jade]

"Oh but they are Mr de-Pointdulac. What did the ship look like? Tell me the race is resembled most" she spoke back to him not shifting her eyeline.

[Louis de-Point du lac]

"Olen...I guess. I am not sure."

[Jason M. Frayers]

"Louis is it...You have a pretty poor pocker face. I bet you dont do well on the tables do you. Your more of a slot machine man arnt you." said Jason

He got up and walked around the table to Louis' side and crouched by him.

"You know something and you need to let us in on in before things get worse." said Jason "Things are not looking good for you guys." said Jason as he turned and returned to his seat

[Lt Matina Jade]

"Why would the olens attack you outside their space!" she said almost shouting and standing, leaning on the desk.
"I don't know!" came the reply.
-COM-Alert all hands alert, man down. Critical injurys. Ms Juliet Snow is being taken to sickbay. Code blue urgent.-COM-
Jade listened and then spoke.
"you may go, we will discuss this later."
She turned to Jason after the doors closed "another attack we better get to sickbay."

[Jason M. Frayers]

"Works for me" he said

They got up and started to head out and Jason spoke up.

"Oh and Louis watch yourself." said Jason

They headed to sickbay while the security officer escourted the guest back to his quarters.

"I can say this. The Olen from what I have dont ususally leave there space unless they deembed it important. It must be to them. Especally seeing we find one on the ship." said Jason

[Commander Vorak]

Vorak ears picked up at the news and he was solem. Since she had come onboard, Ms Snow had become somewhat freinds with her. He made his way down to sickbay and spoke to Bethan.
"How is she Doctor?" he asked.

[Beathan MacAinmire]

"Sir, physicly, she is helthyer then she has ever been. But the problem is that she has suferd a telephathic bombardment and the stress was to great that her mind retreated. Ther is massive trauma to the brain. I have done everything medicaly possible. Ther are only two ways of getting her out of this. She dies, or a telipath finds her." Beathan said, filled with gref.

[Commander Vorak]

He nodds in understanding.
"What could have done this? A weapon perhaps."

[Jason M. Frayers]

Jason heard the report from the Doctor to the XO. He knew this has gotten out of hand. He turned to Jade.

"Im no Telepath but I believe that our guests have a strong enough telepathic abilities to pull this off. When I first went to meet them I could tell they were talking with each other. Call it a huntch' said jason

[Commander Vorak]

He turned around to Frayers.
"We have no evidence that Valen's have telepathic powers. Nor though can we disprove it. Mr Frayers bring me a list of every telepathic man on board ship."

[Jason M. Frayers]

"You got it Sir" said Jason

He headed out of sickbay and headed down to his quarters. When he entered he first grabbed a coffee then into his office. Being Intel there was the liberty of a private office in his quarters. It wasnt much to the office but it served its perposes. He sat down and opened his console. Accessing the personel file for the crew and civilians on board he cross refferenced what he needed and downloaded it to a padd. After closing it down he headed out. On his way out of his office he went and recycled his cup.

Jason then took another look again on a shelf and noticed somthing that didnt belogn there. he walked over to it and pulled it from the bottom of the shelf.

"Damn it" he said

He pulled the wire out disconnecting the bug. He was not happy as he made his way back to sickbay to meet with the XO and Jade. He walked up to them and handed the padd over to the XO.

"Here is the information you asked for. We also have more issues." he said

They both looked at him with a bit of confusion.

"People forget I worked with counter intel and counter terrorism along with loads of undercover work" he said as he showed them the bug he found in his quarters.

[Commander Vorak]

Vorak took it, turning it over in his hands.
"This was in you quarters? Then we must assume that whomever it is has been there. But that would require security clearance" he handed it back almost frowning "thank you Ensign, Ms Jade check every key area and senior officers quarters, see if the planters got further than we think."
He looked at the PADD "non of these would logically be killers, but we are working outside logic for this case. Mr Frayers you interview each one of these people as to where they were last night and two hours ago. Ms Jade you have your orders, have your team leave no stone unturned."
He turned back to the Doctor and the still Snow on the biobed.
"I have no choice but to mind meld with her, it may take several hours, if successful of course. Inform the Captain and monitor us both carefully."
He could see the concern on Bethan's face as he bent over the girl and placed his hand on her face in the correct positions. Temple, cheek and jaw.
"My mind to your mind, my thoughts to your thoughts" Vorak speaks closing his mind and eyes to the world around him. He found himself among a dark dessert of types, fog surrounding him.
"Ms Snow?!" he called out.

[Jason M. Frayers]

"Aye Sir" said Jason

He took the padd and the bug and headed out of sickbay. He looked the padd over again as he walked down the hall. He decided that his first step would be some info from Starfleet Intel about the bug atleast where It came from. He made his way back to his quarters and to his office. He opened a line to Starfleet intel sending them the info on the bug and waited for a return call.
