Lt. Fer'at - "Multiplicitous"
Amanda Nordstrom
OOC: Everything is IC, I promise!
IC:
((The town center, New Faren, New Bajor))
Fer’at had never quite known what, exactly, to do with Rivka Brzezinski. The woman was an anomaly, even for a human, far too obsessed with brains, though her choice of specialty was logical considering it, but her inability to think through a situation despite being quite intelligent and obviously a well trained officer flabbergasted him. Her reaction to the situation regarding Yinn and Loq was far too enthusiastic for his tastes, and neither saw the benefit of going to sickbay. To him, that would be a logical choice, but the question of where they should go, lab or Sickbay, remained.
Fer’at: Then it would be best if Loq and Yinn make the choice, as the condition is theirs to bear.
Loq: We should go to the lab, but have a doctor on hand.
At least Loq had some wisdom, and Fer’at nodded in acquiescence.
Brzezinski: Great, I’ll call one down!
Fer'at: If we are returning to the Octavia E. Butler, there is no reason to call a medical officer here as they are both in stable condition.
Yinn: You know, one of us could be in each place. The distance alone might separate us, but if it doesn't, that may support a theory I have—
Fer’at was curious as to what her theory was, but Brzezinski’s voice cut her off and Fer’at arched an eyebrow at the woman’s enthusiastic communication.
Brzezinski: =/\= Brzezinski to the Butler. We have a medical emergency at my location and need a shuttle, stat! =/\=
OEB Coms Tech: =/\= Roger that, do you just want us to beam up those at your location? =/\=
That made far more logical sense to the Vulcan, but Brzezinski remained convinced that her wayward perspective was the correct one.
Brzezinski: =/\= No! No transporters—the officers are in too delicate a condition—actually, can you beam a shuttle to our location maybe? Or close by? =/\=
OEB Coms Tech: =/\= Uh… I dunno. I’ll see what we can do. Either way, we’ll get you that shuttle. =/\=
Yinn: Beaming a shuttle down seems excessive. A short wait will do no harm. The more time I have to adjust, the better.
Yinn, as curious as she was about her own condition, was of a far more sound mind than Brzezinski. Fer’at struggled to understand how a woman could be so intelligent and yet so nonsensical at the same time. She was a walking contradiction, and unusual, even for a human.
Meanwhile, Yinn managed to sit up right, but it was short lived, for her position remained precarious and eventually she simply lay back, though she did prop herself upon her elbows.
Fer'at: Perhaps it is best to wait til we return to the ship before you attempt to walk. You will need assistance.
At that point, Brzezinski finished her enthused conversation and returned to the fold.
Brzezinski: I got us a shuttle, it should be here real quick.
Without another word, she began to run more scans.
Loq: One thing to look for, which I don't think you can scan for here, is quantum entanglement. My working theory—
Yinn: Sorry. I was developing a theory about the Alpha Brenkelvi aliens. Our brains are neurons connected by electrical impulses. I believe their brains are tachyons connected by quantum entanglement. I think the Antari may use a similar entanglement, which the leaves somehow make possible. So I think my... our brains are entangled on a quantum level. I don't really know how that's possible, but it should at least be easy enough to detect in the lab.
Fer’at’s eyebrow arched upward as he considered the Bolian’s theory. While that was not his specialty, it was still a fascinating topic and one he would willingly dive into.
Fer'at: Then we should return with all haste. A shuttle is unnecessary, we can transport.
He cast a sidelong glance at Brzezinksi who found the oddest ways of going about things.
Brzezinski: responses
Loq: To be honest, I would rather have more time to study... myself. And I worry what effect disentangling us would have on me. Us.
Fer'at: It seems that if your minds are used to being single, the entanglement would pose a bigger problem than the separation.
Fer’at had heard about the experiments with the leaves, of course, but he hadn’t been involved directly - until now. Unfortunately, he was uncertain that Brzezinski was a wise addition, though he had to concede, she did have a specialty that could prove valuable considering the situation.
Brzezinski/Loq-Yinn: responses
Fer’at: I do believe that is our shuttle now.
He motioned toward the sky where said vessel came into sight, but then turned to gaze upon the couple that had yet to move much since their collapse.
Brzezinski/Loq-Yinn: responses
Fer’at: Lieutenant Brzezinski, if you can assist Ensign Yinn, I will assist Ensign Loq. The shuttle can not land right here, but we will need to meet them just outside the town.
Crouching down, the Vulcan paused for a moment, opening and closing his hands, as if stretching them. Truthfully, it was because his ability as a touch telepathy made him sensitive to others thoughts and emotions and he simply wished to safeguard his mind to prevent connecting unintentionally. Once prepared, he reached out to pull the Klingon upright.
Brzezinski/Loq-Yinn: responses
