(( USS Constitution - Holodeck 2 ))
Perax had nothing to say on the subject. The topic was occasionally a touchy one with many species and people groups, including Trills, especially some joined Trills. He preferred simply to avoid the issue as much as possible.
Applegate: Response
Kvash: Are you getting anything, D'Sena?
D'Sena: I am getting a lot of emotions from you all, and talking about what this creature may want instead of listening to the person who is currently connected to it. It is overwhelmed with the knowledge that what it did to our people was in a sense harmful. So let us focus on fixing this before we badger it with requests, shall we?
It seemed reasonable to him. If the creature was willing to undo the damage it caused to the crew without preamble, why bother asking and answering questions right now? The only reasonable question that should be asked is how to reverse the de-aging process. Externally, he simply nodded his agreement.
Applegate/Kvash: Response
D'Sena: As much as I understand the science curiosity, we will be able to ask and answer questions afterwards. How Doctor Applegate, if you allow me to dip into your emotions and thoughts of regret towards this creature I will be able to project them to it, showing that you meant no harm.
Out of the corner of his eye, Perax saw Tejan take a step back as if she were avoiding the possibility of telepathic contact. oO She’s a coward. Oo the thought passed through his mind with only the slightest edge of judgment, despite the fact he still didn’t trust Tejan or like her.
Applegate/Kvash: Response
As D’Sena motioned Applegate toward her, Perax edged closer to Tejan.
D'Sena: While physical contact is not necessary it will make it easier to focus on your thoughts and emotions for the projection. Please stand or sit in a comfortable position to not offer a distraction. Then focus on your regret and your apology and I will translate for the creature.
Applegate: Response
Kvash noted that Perax stepped aside, apparently to try and convince the Cardassian to participate.
D'Sena: You will experience some headaches as I try to read you, I assure it is not on purpose. Just a side effect. But try to relax and focus on what you would like to convey.
Applegate: Response
Kvash waited...not involved in the telepathy, she had no perception of what was going on. It was quiet. Almost too quiet.
D'Sena: It accepted the apology.
Applegate/Leran: Response
Kvash: Good.
D'Sena: It wants to help us.
Kvash: Ask it what it needs.
Applegate/Leran: Response
Opening her eyes Akeelah moved back to her feet, picking the artifact up to carry it in her arms.
D'Sena: Inform the First Officer and Medical. We need everyone affected in one location for this to work. Like it started.
Kvash: The easiest option would be, I think, to bring them here. The holodeck is certainly large enough and that way our friend here can stay in a familiar environment.
Applegate/Leran: Response
D'Sena: Once the artifact is with our affected, we will have to leave it alone with them to not be aged alongside them. This might be our only chance so we have to hope it works.
Kvash: Okay. Are they still all over the ship or did somebody round them up for us?
Kvash really hoped the kids had been corralled. That way this would be over faster...and she definitely...she glanced at Applegate.
Kvash: And there's a pretty good paper in this.
Maybe the Cardassian would even be convinced to co-author in the interests of prestige and interstellar cooperation.
Applegate/D'Sena/Leran: Response
Kvash stepped away for a moment to appreciate the simulated environment. She wondered if this was home to the creature or if it had been brought here...but it certainly seemed to want to go back here.
With, of course, a diplomatic contingent to handle *proper* first contact protocols...
