LT Toxin Arlill: Voices
Toxin Arlill
(( USS Sower, Runabout, A few Light Years from Deep Space 14 ))
Arlill: You’re a counselor, does that mean you can’t reveal what your patients talk about?
Stendhal: I understand the importance of professional secrecy. However, there are certain situations where it's crucial to share information, especially if there's a potential risk to yourself or others. Now, unless you're hearing voices urging you to commit mutiny and it all makes perfect sense to you, I think we can keep this between us. But obviously, that's not the case here, right?
oO Henri: Now why would I do that?! That would eliminate all the fun we’re having. Oo
Arlill: Well (beat) =/\= Computer, deactivate internal sensors and audio loggin. =/\= (beat) here’s the thing, we’re not exactly alone here.
Stendhal: Are you telling me that... Wait... What are you saying? Who else is here? Some kind of glitchy subspace entity? A ghost? This isn't some kind of joke, is it?"
Arlill: Ever since the mission to Alpha Brenkelvi II I’ve felt a bit off. A few weeks ago something happened and I’m suddenly never alone. I call him Henri, or at least that’s what he goes by, he said he’s a Holo Emitting Neuro something…
oO Henri: Holographically Emitted Neuro-Ready Incarnation Oo
Arlill: I just found Henri to be easier to remember.
Stendhal: Yeah Henri Is so much better than holographicneurowhat! I agree! Well nice to meet you Henri!
Arlill: You’re the first person I’ve told.
oO Henri: And it’s about time. Oo
Arlill: I think Henri would be happier if I introduced him to more people, but I’m not ready for what that means.
Stendhal: Yeah I can feel it! He keep thinking why I'm stuck here with you, sort of!
But I understand you! What I suggest is to make a team with a doctor, a scientific officer and maybe me? Just to understand why and what happened!?
Arlill: No, that’s not an option yet, I need to understand who and what he is more. (beat) I needed to tell someone should things go bad.
oO Henri, we can talk telepathycally! I can hear you! Oo
oO Henri: ::To Toxin:: why is she just staring at you? Oo
Arlill: Is something wrong counselor?
Stendhal: Tox, let's say that you help me with the flight text and I won't tell anyone about ...You know who!
Arlill: Deal and I’ll keep you in the loop as things develop. (beat) Oh… when you say “You know who” are you referring to everyone else, because I’d prefer to keep it that way for the time being.
oO Henri: Are you ashamed of me? (beat) You shouldn’t be because I’m assume. Oo
Toxin almost ignored Henri in the presence of Karen but then his brain registered that she was already hearing him and while he wasn’t sure he could hear her if she tried talking telepathically, he did think it reasonable that he could now talk to Henri with her around.
Arlill: You know that’s not true.
oO Henri: I’m just kidding, you’re awesome big guy. Oo
Stendhal: Response
Arlill: That’s the first time he’s called me that, most of the time he’s just a sarcastic pain in the you know what.
oO Henri: You know I can hear you. (beat) oh and she can hear me! (beat) You know he’s talked about getting rid of me before. Oo
Stendhal: Response
Arlill: I did not! I talked about finding a way to move him somewhere better!
oO Henri: But then I couldn’t hang around and bug you all the time! Oo This time Henri appeared next to Stendhal at the systems console seat and winked at Toxin. Toxin just assumed that Karen couldn’t see him, which seemed to be the case.
