Lt.Cmdr. Jashkaa - Anger Leads To... Hate?
Genkos Adea
((Counselor's Office - Deck 7, USS Artemis-A))
Jashkaa pursed her lips as she regarded him for a second before replying. The human was having difficulty parsing his emotions, and Jashkaa was trying her best not to get frustrated by it.
Jashka: And why do you not want to feel those emotions, what are you worried might happen?
Vitor lowered his eyes.
Silveira: I had problems before with controlling my emotions. You can see what I did in the Excalibur, and in the Resolution when I let my emotions take the better of me. This time…
He closed his eyes, taking another breath. She knew that he had bitten someone on the Resolution, which had set off a chain of events that led to the ship’s destruction, but she would have to re-read the Excalibur incident.
Silveira: In our last mission, when we were on the surface of Betazed we were being stalked by a Jem’Hadar. I ended up confronting him, we fought and I almost killed him.
Jashkaa raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow in a superlative arching motion.
Jashkaa: Isn’t that your job, Vitor, to protect your team?
Vitor shook his head and hands.
Silveira: No… It wasn't like that. I managed to knock him out. As he was lying there…
I had him at my feet and almost… I was about to smash his skull…
Jashkaa: You had a violent impulse?
Vitor leaned back, he closed his eyes and rubbed his neck before leaning forward. Jashkaa could tell that this was deeply uncomfortable for him, and that this fidgeting was his way of distracting himself enough to emote the next section of his story.
Silveira: The thing is, I shouldn’t be thinking like that. Not only am I a Starfleet Officer I am a department head. I of all people have a responsibility when it comes to violent use of force. ::He took a deep breath.:: You know that there is one thing I secretly pride myself of. In all the years of service I only have one confirmed kill. An Iconian that was threatening our away team back in the Columbia. I was given the order to fire, didn’t hesitate and did my job. But I almost killed someone who was defenceless at my feet.
Jashkaa: That is commendable, Vitor. I believe I read that many human police officers in the past prided themselves on never having fired their service weapons. That they were able to resolve things without resorting to violence, and it sounds like that is something you have to be proud of. ::she raised a finger to prevent interruptions:: However it sounds to me like you are harbouring an anger, and that anger has no release and so it manifests in these violent outbursts. Does that sound correct to you?
Silveira: Response
Jashkaa uncrossed her legs and leaned forward, her emerald eyes meeting his gaze firmly.
Jashkaa: So the question remains, Vitor… what are you angry about?
Silveira: Response

"You know, I'm really easy to get along with most of the time, but I don't like bullies and I don't like threats, and I don't like you, Culluh. You can try and stop us from getting to the truth but I promise you that if you do I will respond with all the 'unique technologies' at my command." - Kathryn Janeway
