: : Molor had been on the ship for a few weeks now. It was time for him to complete his welcome aboard eval with the ship's counselor.
: :
: : As he approached the door to her office, he recalled that Lt Ayla Sharise was a Napean. Napeans were at least partially empathic. So he would need to guard his thoughts carefully. That way he could judge if she was trying to empathically read him.
: :
: : So before he rang the chime, he cleared his mind of all thoughts and emotions. He concentrated on being in the middle of a large old growth forrest next to a babbeling brook.
: :
: : Then he rang the chime to the counselor's office.

: What he didn't know was that as a full Napean, Ayla was not only an adept empath, but was also telepathic with other telepaths. But she had a very particular way of using her abilities and in general could not read the thoughts of non-telepaths, as if their brains were simply not compatible with hers.
:
: The rather busy woman was actually returning back to her office from a rather distressed call from a crew member when she saw the elusive first officer at her door. That in itself was interesting and told her a great deal right there.
:
: "Commander Molor, an unexpected surprise, come on in and make yourself comfortable," Ayla said as she entered in the code to her office and slipped in ahead of him, moving to her desk to drop off a PADD.
:
: As he entered, he'd see that Ayla had arranged the office so that the desk and a couple chairs were off in one corner. In the next corner on a tall black wrought iron stand, rested a large glass ball in a multitude of colours. Parts of it were opaque and others were transparent. Below it was a large peach coloured hibiscus sitting on an ornate wood plant stand that had carved filigreed legs.
:
: The other side of the office was a sitting area. There was the cream overstuffed chair, a navy blue sofa and another overstuffed chair in a rich brown. She had the couch facing the fall with the replicator and the two chairs side-by-side facing the couch and the door, a wood coffee table with a thick glass top. On either side of the sofa were matching side tables. Underneath the sitting area was a large rug with deep brown and sand coloured stripes. On the wall was a tapestry composed of a cream background with abstract lines in bright colours swirling and waving in a state of chaos. But there was a calmness about the piece, possibly because of the background, or that there were no straight lines in it, giving it an organic feel.

"Thank you, Counselor," Molor said. He chose to sit in the big brown chair. "As you know, aside from the quartlery counseling sessions, all officers are required to report to the ship's Counselor for their welcome aboard evaluation. So. Here I am."
