The SPHINX had landed in one of the PARADOX's shuttle bays without any incident and judging by the emptiness of the room, without having been noticed by anyone. As the crew exited the mobile command unit one after the other, Adriana was reminded of a training exercise that she had taken part in while at Starfleet Academy.
In the safety of the holodeck, the cadets had boarded a starship that h...

The mobile command unit swerved through the asteroid field under the expert piloting of Ensign Thomas as he followed the tracking signal from the transport ship. With all of his attention focused on that task alone everyone had remained silent so as to not distract the ANUBIS' COO.
With her heart jumping each time the ship flew by a moving asteroid large enough to turn them into a pile of floating ...

Adriana sat on the steps of the temple, her thoughts so lost on her injured Kzinti friend and the other members of the away team that the Kerelian betrothed had actually forgotten what her current attire had represented and meant to others.
"Do you really think it is safe for you to sit like this in view of everyone, ...

Adriana could not help but be in awe at the size and strength of the black-furred Kzinti. She had never in her wildest dream expected to ever meet another alien the size of the Oltharian CEO, yet there he stood. Grex held onto his daughter as if she had been nothing more than a feather, his arms easily taking on the task to carry the weaken...

"Was it just me or was that guy a little *buggy*?" Adriana whispered to her companion after a few seconds, referring to the Xindi Insectoid they had just left behind.
"Funny," Hex grunted at her friend's play on words.
"What really gets me is that he thought you and I were shapeshifters," the aCMO added in an even softer whispered voice. "I thoug...

The idea of being a betrothed Kerelian prancing around inviting others to challenge another man's claim now more than ever seemed a bad idea to the ANUBIS' aCMO. An increasing number of man and creatures she could only surmised had been the male of some strange alien race had taken time to look her way to...

Ensign Lopez looked with combined puzzlement and admiration at the wonderful dress that Doctor Summers had carefully pulled out from a nearby closet in her office. The garment gave the impression that it belonged to some kind of high ranking political official or maybe even a member of a royal lineage. As delightful as the dress had been though its appearance and shape had conf...

Not having anywhere other to go, and confident that he knew where the woman he had just rescued would be safest, the Efrosian Priest returned to the T'Kon templ with his new ward. Although free from her imprisonment, the woman's entire body trembled in her hands of her savior, which only made Ojall quicken his pace.

Despite his frail appearance and advanced age the Efrosian's skills and experience had allowed for his entrance into the secured compound to be an easy one.

Sickbay had returned to a state of general peace and quiet that the aCMO had grown used to, and appreciative of. The earlier fight between the two Klingons, if one could have called the unilateral beating a fight, and the impressive intervention by the Kzinti woman had left everyone in the medical department a little frazzled.
Starships were said to be filled with surprises, and ...

The aCMO watched with interest as the ANUBIS' FCO and Sickbay's latest patient exchange a few whispered words. Judging by the expression on their faces the two Klingons had been in the midst of a mild disagreement or maybe just a difference of opinion on a specific matter. Either way the level of friction between them had been unmistakable and left the ensign hoping ...

Adriana smiled as she verified the latest medical scans on their Klingon patient. The encouraging results had not been the reason for her happiness, but rather the ability for her and everyone else onboard to be able to think whatever they wanted without having to fear coming face-to-face with it. No Elysian fields, no corridor filled with kittens, not even a storming battalion of Romulans, not...

The group of officers led by Annie had finally reached one of the turbolift without any further incident, everyone having managed to keep their thoughts well in check.

Ensign Lopez had been unable to shake the memory of the small boy and his bloodied clothes despite the feeling of security the aCMO had been made to experience in the arms of the imposing engineer. The words that the child had spoken incessantly echoed in Adriana's mind even though she had done her best to push them out of her thoughts.
The distressed caused by this had been such that the Ensig...

The aCMO along with Doctor Summers and the ship's Avatar had set out to search for the other members of the senior staff, the idea having been that finding a solution would be easier if they all worked together instead of separately from different realities.

The agonizing pain that had taken such a complete hold of her mind and body had finally vanished and left Adriana with a sense of peace the likes of which she had never experienced or even thought possible. Her mind had become perfectly still, at rest, and her thoughts as calm as a gentle summer's breeze over a flowery field.

Something had happened and Adriana was at a loss to explain how she knew, but she had been drawn to check in with Doctor Summer.

Being trained as a Counselor meant that Adriana could recognize the nuances of her own personal situation. When the mind summoned images or visions of loved ones it was a clear indication that something had been amiss, and as hard as the aCMO tried to ignore this self diagnosis there had been nowhere for the Ensign to hide from the truth. She needed help.
