<strong>Location: </strong>Mess Hall<br/><br/>Empola (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=143220.msg6446770#msg6446770)<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://www.tru.ca/news/2009/websites/subject_sites/hair_website/images/slightlyfuturistic.jpg)</div><br/>Empola sat in the mess hall reading a computerized tablet on the psychic module that apparently the ship had and sighed.<br/><br/>The string of reviews from scientists claiming it wont work for this reason and that was endless and seemed pretty well founded also. The reason it was installed was political, what they wanted was to give some very early prototype a try. "Spurious readings" was the best one could hope for, far from what should be considered anything<br/>worth putting on a ship. Risk of being brain wiped also ? Hmm comforting. The specialist sighed and placed the tablet down. The captain probably wouldn't want some experimental technology on her ship either. Thats what research ships that were not star fleet were for refining. When it worked well THEN install it on ships like this.  It may not even be ON the ship, as far as Empola knew, everything seemed so rushed getting her on board. None had time to explain anything, it was if they were kept in the dark also.<br/><br/>Empola knew that diplomats and counselors were on board, so far none asked for her assistance, not once had the captain asked for her to be on the bridge or anywhere else for that matter. Still the captain had bigger things to think about with others more suited for whatever was at hand than this. None also seemed inclined to inform her of whats going on. Made sense, why should they ? They are assuming she is reading everyones minds anyway.<br/><br/>There wasn't much of a need for her unless something very strange happened. All now knew of her talents from word of mouth, it made many feel uneasy. They shouldn't be, any successful deep scan she had conducted in training before just made her JOIN the opinion and views of those she read not judge them. What to do ? How to resolve issues ? Proffesional suggestions for others ? that was a<em>counselors </em>job not a telepath.<br/><br/>Deep scanning another wasn't what others thought. But it sure must feel intrusive to be at the receiving end. Not that there seemed to be a need to, everyone was professional here.<br/><br/>So far a white-tight-fitting jumpsuit was assigned to her specialty, with some broach that was different to others to imply she was a specialist not of a rank that can order anyone about. A novelty on board that stood out like a sore thumb. Everyone had strong friends here, worked as a team. So far the diplomat and the counselor had not requested her services, and were doing fine as they were.<br/><br/>She had tried to join some for poker, all refused stating she could just read them like a book. Some did regardless but the time was nervous.  It wasnt a decision she liked to consider but it was time that had to change, and for that she had to change for others.. and began typing up a request to the Science division of the ship if they could make something she could wear that could nullify her telepathic and empathic abilities, a collar or something like that hopefully perhaps others could see and be more easy about. Lol heavens forgive the attempt if they managed it as a tiara. The thought made her chuckle, yeah<em>that's </em>going to help others wanting to befriend this weirdo.<br/><br/>After typing in the request and sending it to the science team aboard the telepath placed the tablet before her and shook her head. Thankfully there were many views of the stars, staring at them helped deep meditation states, vitial for her to stay sane.<br/><br/>"Everyone is being as accommodating as they can, and all thats happened so far ? Im pestering the science team to be even more so for me."<br/>
