<h3 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold;">USS FEYNMAN: Transporter Room</h3> | |||
<h4 style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','Arial'; color: royalblue; font-weight: bold;">by Joseph Baker 2-15-1996</h4> | |||
SD: 80215.1637<br> | |||
Ltjg Jerran stood in the transporter room patiently waiting for the other | |||
officers to arrive in order that they may all beam over to the alien | |||
ship, the RESOLUTE. He was glad to see that Lt. Jenn was one of the | |||
first to arrive, as he would finally have a chance to talk with her about | |||
his recent experiences. | |||
"Lieutenant, could I have a word with you for a moment?" | |||
"Sure, Terri," she said as she stood up on the transporter pad with him. | |||
Jerran gave a look to the transporter chief that told him that this was | |||
to be a private conversation, so the chief took the opportunity to go | |||
check on the pattern buffers. | |||
"What's the matter? You look a little shaken by something?" she said. | |||
He raised an eyebrow and said, "That's funny. I was just about to say | |||
the same thing about you." | |||
"The truth is that I think I've been having some really bad mental | |||
reactions to that little bump I got on my head in the NOGURA. The other | |||
day when I was walking to the holodeck in the stardrive section, I could | |||
have sworn that I felt something, someone, following me. Some sort of a | |||
very strong telepathic presense. And then it happened again today just a | |||
little while ago when I was walking to my quarters. I almost shot at a | |||
crewman who was walking by." | |||
"What kind of telepathic presense do you think this is?" | |||
"I don't know. I just felt something there. Something that wasn't | |||
normal. Now usually, I'm just a touch telepath. It takes something | |||
really strong to get me to sense it over that much distance. Unless, of | |||
course, this is just some sort of halucination brought about by that | |||
accident in the runabout." | |||
Jenn thought for a minute and said, "It just might be related, then." | |||
"What might be related?" asked Jerran. | |||
"I've been having some strange empathic perceptions lately, also. Mine | |||
were more like a hole of some sort where I just couldn't sense anything | |||
at all, not even the usual background emotions of the crew. I almost | |||
thought that I had lost my empathic abilities. Maybe that mind link we | |||
shared on the NOGURA had more of an effect on the two of us than we thought." | |||
Jerran still didn't look convinced as he said, "I don't know. It just | |||
seemed so real. And then there was CPO Norris little accident in the | |||
shuttlebay." | |||
"Do you think they could be connected? That would mean that there is | |||
something on the ship that is capable of murdering one of our crewmen." | |||
Just then, the rest of the officers filed in, their dress uniforms neatly | |||
pressed, moving to step onto the transporter pads with Jerran and Jenn. | |||

Get the straight jackets ready. Krysa and Jerran are ready for the funny | |||
farm ;) | |||
