Lt JG Karen Stendhal - All about Henri!

[K4RN3 ST3NDHL4]

(( USS Sower, Runabout, A few Light Years from Deep Space 14 ))

Stendhal: Wait up, what’s going on here? I keep picking up weird thoughts, they’re a bit different from you, from your mental vibe, but there’s no one else around, yet they’re still yours!?

Karen studied Tox's demeanor, noticing a sudden shift in his expression. He appeared wary and troubled, his brow furrowed in concern. Karen's heart wavered with uncertainty. He wasn't sure if he could trust her? And if not, why not?

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?

You don't feel the urge to murder the Captain yet, didn't you?

Good, you haven't gotten to the "kill the Captain" stage yet, have you?

Arlill: Well (beat) =/\= Computer, deactivate internal sensors and audio loggin. =/\= (beat) here’s the thing, we’re not exactly alone here.

Karen's eyes darted around the room, her heart pounding with apprehension. What did he mean when he said they weren't alone? Who else was there? Was he starting to have imaginary friends?

Karen's s voice echoed in her ears, her words sending a shiver down her spine. 

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

Karen's eyes widened in surprise oO holographicneurowhat? Ok

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 / Henri: ?

oO Henri, we can talk telepathycally! I can hear you! Oo

Arlill / Henri: ? 

Karen smiled with a bit of conspiracy look.

Stendhal: Tox, let's say that you help me with the flight text and I won't tell anyone about ...You know who!

Arlill / Henri: ?
