Thus secret thoughts accessed to her typically only can be possible if she herself shares the same values or views on a topic. This also does take time, and deep readings something she has sworn not to perform unless at the Captains command.<br/><br/>When without an intention Empola is quiet literally "intentionless" and can be found standing still  or sitting still for hours on end without moving, typically staring at the stars. Times she is asked to explain what she is doing is never a surprise for she can "feel" new perspectives or awareness on her, and would often reply with something like<br/><br/><em>"Strange that meditation and traces give you knowledge of feelings over thoughts, seems that everything is feelings made manifest not reasons .. " <br/></em><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong>Background:</strong><br/></div><br/>Empola is a star pupil of a new type of Psychics specifically designed to take up membership in positions of Starfleet.  She has been told the ship is apparently equipped with a proto-type "PSY Fields module"  that apparently may be able to permit her to be able to be used as a component of a long range "feeling/thought" scanner, or a perhaps as part of a ship-wide shield defense against entities that may assault the ship with psychic means.<br/><br/>These new "PSY fields Modules' are very new, and high brass don't hold much faith in them working (none really do) Still the ship being the first to have one installed. And even if none hold confidence that they will work. Empola does hope she will be useful regardless for many a  negotiation has been aided by a Betaziods' suggestion to their captain.<br/><br/>Emploa is a specialist not a guest, nor does she have rank. She has no rights to give any commands, and no rights to have any of her requests seen to. Effectively she is a civilian on board the ship that can be requested to have her services used by whatever commanding officers deem fit.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong>Attire</strong><br/></div><br/>Empola is always found wearing a white body suit and matching boots. When cold she will don matching gloves and collarless-buttonless overcoat. Empola has a com badge that is silver and doesn't give the same privileges or abilities as gold com badges of true star-trek military staff have.<br/><br/>Emploa has requested a device from the science division which can neutralize her abilities in public.<br/>
