SD 80422.0115, FEYNMAN Counseling Office<br> | |||
> "Lt. Jenn," he said smiling, "Is there something I can do for you?"<br> | |||
><br> | |||
> Krysa took a seat on his couch before answering. "You are part Betazoid, do<br> | |||
> you believe in genetic bonding?"<br> | |||
><br> | |||
> "So you're getting married?" he said, "That's the announcement you're<br> | |||
> supposed to make at this evening's reception."<br> | |||
><br> | |||
> Krysa nodded miserably.<br> | |||
><br> | |||
> "You're not happy?"<br> | |||
><br> | |||
> "I don't know. He's a really nice guy, and I guess he's right, we do... did<br> | |||
> have a connection. And I need to be responsible..." Krysa paused looking at<br> | |||
> the counselor, "The worst thing is that I can't seem to put my feelings in order."<br> | |||
><br> | |||
> "Alright, Lt. Why don't you tell me from the beginning..."<br> | |||
><br> | |||
> Krysa began telling the counselor about meeting Kavan, about her father's<br> | |||
> bargain, and about her accident. "I know I've never really come to terms<br> | |||
> with the accident. I know the classics signs... I am still a counselor at heart, I guess."<br> | |||
><br> | |||
> "You can't always help yourself though."<br> | |||
><br> | |||
> Krysa nodded, "I know. The bottom line is that now I have to decide what I'm doing?"<br> | |||
><br> | |||
"Exactly." | |||
"Well, what do I do?" The miserable OPS officer looked up, her elbows on | |||
her knees and her chin in her hands. | |||
"Well, as I see it, you have two choices. One, you either marry... Kavan, | |||
was it?... or not. Two, you either leave the ship or not. And, clearly, | |||
there is the possibility that making one decision will decide the other." | |||
"Hmmm?" | |||
"Well, for instance, he may not want to marry you if you decide to stay. | |||
That's sort of what happened to me." | |||
"You too?" | |||
"My girlfriend, Ensign Kerri Strait, and I, we were together since junior | |||
year at the Academy. When we got our assignments, she got sent to the USS | |||
ANAHEIM. We were going to try to maintain the relationship until... well, | |||
until one of us had enough pull to get transferred." | |||
"What happened?" | |||
"She decided, last week, that she'd rather stay on the ANAHEIM and marry | |||
the first officer than wait for me." | |||
"So you're saying that I might be put in the situation of deciding between | |||
the relationship and my career?" | |||
"Yes." | |||
"But that's not it at all! He said... his carrer wasn't going to get in | |||
the way." | |||
"What does he do, anyway?" | |||
"He's a writer. He said he'd live wherever I wanted... said 'I can write | |||
anywhere'." | |||
"Well, that isn't a problem then... so, why are you so miserable?" | |||
"Can't you tell? You're a Betazoid, after all!" | |||
"No, for some reason I can barely read your surface thoughts... I can tell | |||
you're miserable but I can't tell why... this probably have something to do | |||
with your disability... but then I could be wrong." | |||
NRPG: Thought I would help hash things out. Kristen, feel free to | |||
continue, although I don't think Krazny will talk any more about his | |||
situation. Also, I'd like to have a shot at the groom... | |||
