It had been an odd experence having Ensign Malachi on the ship. She had to resist all the urges she had around her Malachi yet she had opened her mind to him as she had done when her Malachi was around. She let him know everything that had gone on between herself and Mal. She felt the twinge of envy from him when he saw what she had shared with her Malachi. Now that he was done helping figure out a way to get them home he was pretending to be intrested in what Lt. Commander Matsu and Lt. Tracy were doing on the computer but she could feel his mind was on her. She smiled to herself when he thought she was beautiful. She was about to ask him if he had enough time to go and grab a bite to eat before he had to return to his own ship when she was touched by a fimillar mind. She felt worry. Even before this universe's Mal had said it to her mind she knew who it was and where it was comming from. She and her Mal had wondered if their bonds were strong enough that they could sense each other even if seperated by the vastness of space but neither of them had tested it. But she could feel him, not just the Malachi that was in the room with her but her own love back on Earth. ~~He's worried about you.~~ Came from Ensign Malachi to her mind. ~~Yes. I can feel him.~~ Melody responded. Melody excused herself from the bridge and went down to her quarters. She figured what she was about to try would most likely annoy anyone who was psi sensitive on the ship, namely Commander Marqusa. She sat on her bed and concentrated on her Malachi. She tried to send him thoughts of reassurance and that they would be home soon. She sent feelings from her heart as well as her mind hoping that since she could feel him that he could also feel her.
