[counselling]

[ Being used to space travel made this situation no less unusual to adapt to - it was certainly different when you were unaware of your location, your friends and crewmates were missing and you had no access to the computers, or much helpful information ]

The predicament that we have found ourselves in is greater than anything that I am aware of from history, even with noted examples. From what I have been informed the majority of the passengers aboard this ship are unfamiliar with space travel, or are even from an era where it has yet to exist?

[ Oh, this was breaking so many rules. But... this wasn't her situation, but simply another thing to try and help and resolve as easily as possible like with Doctor Cochrane. The similarities were, frankly, astounding ]

My name is Deanna Troi, and I serve aboard a ship not too indifferent from this one. If there are any questions or concerns I would be happy to answer them within the boundaries of my knowledge, or if you are having trouble adjusting then I may be able to help you there.

[ She just hoped that this wouldn't be a permanent thing ]

[ Filter: Captain Kirk ]
Captain, when you have a moment I would request to speak with you. Thank you.

[ Filter: John Watson ( SCI » 001 » 197 ) & Leonard McCoy ( SCI » 006 » 162 ) ]
May I speak with you regarding the medbay and any counselling facilities? I've been informed by Captain Kirk that you have recently lost your previous counsellor. I'd like to help you.

When you say a ship a bit like this one, I'm guessing you don't mean it's full of people displaced right outta their own worlds and trapped on a killer spaceship to be intimidated by punctuation.

[counselling]

[ Well... she had been putting it more delicately ]

Not for myself, although others have experienced such phenomenon. [ Maybe not the punctuation but definitely the displacement, and that killer starship thing is far too common ]

[ He smiles. ] It's alright, I'm just winding you up.

It's nice to meet you, Deanna. I'm guessing you're new around here?

[counselling]

[ She gives a smile in return, particularly because she's far from wound up. You'll need to try a lot harder than that, Nathan ]

I am. It's certainly adjustment, even with my familiarity.

I've got one now.

[counselling]

Is there anywhere we can talk privately?

[goldshirt]

[oh this is promising.]

Yeah, I need a coffee break anyway. Meet you at the lift?

[leaps]

Which starship?

[counselling]

[ Well she was... not expecting this. Just how many of the (original) Enterprise crew had this place got? She'd spoken to Kirk, had heard about McCoy... wow

Well... he'd find out eventually ] The Enterprise. [ That felt wrong. That felt worse than giving Cochrane the truth ]

[leaps]

[ the enterprise. sulu's quiet for a minute, chewing that over. ]

Maiden voyage?

[ A new counselor? That could be a blessing, especially since although technically Bones has some basic training in psychology, he'd really prefer not to have his time eaten up by listening to a bunch of strangers talk about their feelings. ]

Well, Dr. Watson's the man in charge here in Medical, but I doubt he'd have any argument against it. We could use all the help we can get. What's your training like?

filtered; video.

[counselling]

[ Well, since they're all being honest and all: ] I'm a Starfleet Officer.

[ Does that help? ]

I began my training on Betazed before attending the Academy. I've been serving as ship's counsellor for the past fourteen years. [ Eight of the Enterprise, six elsewhere ]

[ Man in charge-- dsflk; ]

Did Kirk tell you we lost our psychiatrist, or are you just being euphemistic?

[Filtered]

[agent_k]

It's not that unusual where I'm from. [The honest truth as this sort of thing just happens to people every once in a while.] Mind if I know more about your examples?

[He's kind of been quiet, but this situation isn't bothering him as much as it is for some people; it's just irritating.]

[Filtered]

[counselling]

[ As wrong and troubling as the entire thing is she is a little glad that some are familiar with their situation - it certainly makes adjusting, and conversing, easier ]

I serve aboard a starship, one whose mission is of peaceful exploration.

[Filtered] My apologies for all the double posting. D:

[agent_k]

What about general situations. Not being on a ship itself, but being transported great distances from one time period to another? Time, as I'm familiar with it, has a single course and alternates are impossible. If you do something to affect the past, only those providing the effect remain and the future is altered with them as the exception.

In fact, what they're doing here is very, very illegal even if you take away the kidnapping and the rules of intergalactic warfare.

[More of that irritation rises up in him at the general situation. He hates that there's nothing he can do about it.]

[statsraaden]

[Another psychologist, and this time she looks more legit.]

Hello. Are you some sort of... psychologist? I think I would need one.

[counselling]

I am. I don't yet have an office space but I can make an appointment with you.

[statsraaden]

I'd be happy. I've been needing it for a while. There's been a lot of things here, and... I'm not sailing with all my sails. [Which means, he's not quite that well.]

[counselling]

A starship, on a mission of exploration.

[ A second later another text come through, adding for some clarification. ]

of the ship.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[It's her. Arya watches the video, but replies only in text; she keeps herself as anonymous as possible, but she doesn't know how to turn off the number tracking on her post.]

You're trapped here too. [What help can she give in adjusting?]

text;

[counselling]

[ Then it's a good job that Deanna doesn't know the young girl boy's number ]

I believe that we all are, for the time being. It's knowing how to work in your surrounding that makes the difference.

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

What difference? People adjust on their own.
