<USS Avalon> Re: Talea Visits Sickbay...

"All right, all right," said Mahler, picking up a PADD and opening the proper file. He headed from the office toward the exam room. "Hello, Ensign Erridim," he said. "If you'd come over to this biobed? Now, what seems to be the problem, if any?"
Talea smiled slightly, carefully grounded the loaded duffel and sat on the biobed as requested before speaking. "You and I have never met, 'tis true, but it is primarily because for too long, I had no confidence around men, and for reasons that would give any sane, caring person nightmares to contemplate." She chuckled. "But I'm much better, thanks to Doctor Cazook and Sergeant Ranger, amongst others; I also managed to help Admiral Ketchum come aboard without us dropping to impulse first." There was understandable pride in the simple statement, and mild amusement in the next. "And I must admit I was very nervous being on the Bridge when he first came in, but that too passed." She gestured to the duffel. "This is the stuff I had in the special room constructed for me while I was stasis-locked. Had I not had that room..." She shuddered. "Wouldn't have been fun."
Her eyes dimmed as she looked down, and it became apparent she was troubled, which was confirmed by her next words. "I have the strangest feeling my life is about to change radically, and perhaps not for the best." She shrugged lightly. "I've learned to trust these feelings, for they are too often true."
