Mwezi stood inside the Holodeck, his eyes wide as he glanced around at what surrounded him. It was very similar to the Mind Chamber, but instead of projecting the simulations telepathically, it did it through the use of hard light and holograms. Fascinating.

The program he had active was one of the planet Earth, a northern boreal forest. It almost felt like home, he thought as he glanced around with curiosity. He could hear the bird calls and sounds of animals rustling about, and even though holograms couldn’t fool his nose into thinking the creatures were actually there, he almost felt like they were.

It was, indeed, very impressive. He sat down, almost in a meditative state as he just enjoyed the forest sounds.

Mwezi, Security

Hsull had left K’Haat in their quarters, she was resting after a big meal and playing with Cerenity. Hsull was thinking, “That cat is literally eating me out of house and home, how big will she get ?” He absent mindedly entered the holo deck, intending to exercise and meditate. Upon entering he found a large canid sitting with eyes nearly closed seemingly meditating. His nose told him this was no hologram, but an actual being. “I’m sorry to intrude. I should have checked to see if the space was occupied. I had my mind on other things.” Hsull looked around and saw the forest surrounding them, “Beautiful, isn’t it ?.... I’ll leave you alone and come back later, again sorry to intrude.”

Hsull - CAARS

Mwezi lifted his head, noting the Caitian with half-lidded eyes. This must be the individual Kula had mentioned. Overall his posture was one that seemed very relaxed and, well, meditative. “Afternoon,” he greeted, closing his eyes for a moment before blinking and getting to his feet. “You’re free to stay, this holographic forest is large enough for two - as long as you weren’t planning on doing a narrative program.”

“I am Mwezi, by the way. You’ve met my Ol’kap, Kula.”

Mwezi, CTO

Hsull nodded politely, “Thank you, I was planning on doing some exercises, but actually I’m feeling more meditative right now and need to center myself.” Hsull sat quietly a few feet away, placing his ever present cane beside his knee he began a series of breathing exercises. After a few minutes, feeling calmer, he stated. “Yes, I met Kula. I had just performed a bit of crude minor surgery on myself and she was concerned that I had injured myself. I didn’t get the chance to thank her for her concern, if you would tell her I would be grateful.” Hsull returned to the breathing exercise, inhaling through the nostrils and exhaling through the mouth, taking a deep breath each time. The forest was very peaceful and serene.

Hsull - CAARS

“I will be sure to let her know,” Mwezi said with a slight nod, stepping over to a fallen log and sitting on it. He closed his eyes again and folded his hands in his lap, focusing on the sounds of the forest and the beat of his heart. The additional smell of another living creature made it a little difficult to meditate, but he was trained for that. It didn’t take too long before he was back in his former state, focused on everything and nothing.

Mwezi, CTO

Hsull finished the breathing, centering exercises then rose and quietly moved to a more secluded spot and began silently going through a series of stretching regimens similar to what Terrans called yoga. He began to feel the stress leave his body and a sense of wholeness and inner well being permeate his being. Hopefully K’Haat had rested and fed in his absence, she was eating almost totally meat now, and an alarming amount. He could swear that almost daily she was getting larger and more muscular.

He glanced back to where Mwezi was sitting, apparently still meditating. Hsull needed to do a more vigorous form of exercise but didn’t want to disturb the peace and quiet of the forest scene.......he could wait a while.

Hsull - CAARS

Mwezi continued to meditate, extending his mental presence, feeling his Basda straining to extend it’s senses. His ‘mind’ brushed past Kula. A large blip on his radar. It was unusual for him to feel another mind during these little meditation rituals. He’d gotten to used to the silence back when he was on the Chernov… He’d have to get used to this change. His mental senses extended far past their regular range, allowing him to zone out completely. A part of his mind was still focusing on his surroundings, but most of his attention was elsewhere. As he surveyed the ship and it’s surroundings, he could feel… something. That… that was the mind of a being from Galdor! Not a person, the emotions were too raw and primal. It was scared though. He tried to make a note of it’s location before his awareness was thrown back into his body and he jolted, letting out a gasp as he realized he hadn’t really been breathing as well as he should have.

Mwezi, CTO

Luna had joined the two on the holodeck just in time to see Mwezi jurch and gasp. ” are you ok? ” she asked as she approached.
Ensign Luna

OOC: I hope you all don’t mind.
Christina

OOC: Not a problem at all.

Hsull had heard the gasp and quickly returned to where he had left Mwezi. He found Luna standing nearby, speaking to Mwezi. “Is everyone all right ?” Mwezi looked startled and ill at ease. “Computer, end program.” The forest disappeared and the walls of the holo deck appeared. “Show exit.” Turning to Luna, “Perhaps we should take Mwezi to medical.”

Hsull - CAARS

It only took a few breaths for Mwezi to begin regaining his composure. “I’m… I’m fine. Just got a little lost in the meditation…” he was breathing a little heavy. The sudden loss of the holographic environment was more of a shock to his system than the fact that he hadn’t been breathing for nearly a minute. “I… reached out and felt something out there.” He staggered to his feet, using H’sull’s arm as an anchor. He was a little less steady on his feet than he thought he would be, but he couldn’t tell whether that was because of the whole not breathing thing or whether it was because of the lingering panic from the creature. That had been a moment of pure terror he’d never felt in himself. To the others, it was clear that something had shaken Mwezi to the core.

Mwezi, CTO

Hsull extended an arm and helped Mwezi to his feet, “Are you sure you’re all right ? Would you like us to escort you to your quarters ?” Still holding Mwezi gently by the arm Hsull began to to steer him toward the exit, he seemed dazed and confused. Obviously something had happened during his meditation.” He glanced at Luna, “Perhaps we should alert Kula.”

Hsull - CAARS

Luna tucked her wings closer to her body as she stepped closer to Mwezi. She took his other arm gently to try and keep him from falling. ” I think it beat of we get him to sit down again. ” she suggested as she taped her collage. =/\= ending luna to Kula could you come to holodeck 2=/\= she said.

She looked to Mwezi consurn written on her face.” Mwezi please sit down befor you fall and get hurt” She said gently.
Ensign Luna

“No, no, I have to,” Mwezi tried to take a step away from the pair but they had him pretty securely. “They’re in danger…” he muttered, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. He could feel concern radiating from Kula, who was already coming towards them by the time Luna called her on the comms. “I have to save them.” He insisted, letting himself droop down to sit on the floor. “There’s a creature out there, scared for their life. I’ve… never felt fear that strong. It’s overwhelming.”

Mwezi, CTO

Hsull squatted next to Mwezi ready to grab him should he keel over. “Just rest here a moment ‘til you get your strength back, Kula is on her way. Now what’s this about sensing someone in danger and needing to rescue them ?”

Hsull - CAARS

Luna also squared down her wings opening as she did so. She put a hand on Mwezi’s shoulder. And culed on of her wind around him slightly trying to comfort him. ” shhhh deep breaths. We can’t understand you” she said gently. The stubern proud ensin mellting away to show her more Motherly nater. “No when you can put your thoughts together try again it’s ok to take your time.” She said gently.
Ensign Luna

Mwezi could feel the panic fading as Kula sent her calming thoughts. “My species… My planet. We’re… Telepathic, in a way.” Mwezi muttered, trying to explain. “But it’s like a closed network. I can’t sense regular humanoid brains, and telepaths like Betazoids and Vulcans can’t sense mine. When I meditate, I stretch my sense out as far as I can, it’s a way of exercising and strengthening it, like a muscle. I… sensed a being with a fear so intense it overwhelmed me. It was a very raw and unrefined fear, so I think whatever that being is, it’s an animal…”

Mwezi, CTO

Hsull continued to gently hold Mwezi’s arm, “What is the range of your sense, do you think this animal or creature is nearby ?” Hsull hated to see any creature mistreated or in fear, he and K’Haats current situation being a prime example, as well as Luna and the little one. “Perhaps we could try to rescue this animal.”

Hsull -CAARS
OOC: I realize a rescue mission is underway, just giving a lead in.

OOC: u can join that mission, it’d be nice to have more than 1 other person involved
IC:

Mwezi closed his eyes. “Not too far. They’re here in the anomaly, but I can’t tell how far. I honestly don’t know the extent of my sense. While I’m not stretching it, it’s a few hundred meters? Whilst stretching though… I’m really not sure. I can’t even tell what direction the sensation came from, because it was so unexpected I pulled away from sensing it the moment it hit me.”

Mwezi, CTO

Hsull considered for a moment, “I don’t think the Captain would want to deviate from our course, but perhaps we could take a shuttle and investigate if it’s not too far.” He looked at Luna over Mwezi’s head, “K’Haat will watch over Cerenity if you would like to come as well.” Hsull wasn’t sure the Security officer would be allowed to accompany them, but wanted to make the offer. “I can pilot the shuttle, but we probably should have another qualified pilot along just in case. Would Kula be going along as well ?” he asked Mwezi. Hsull was trying to determine what size shuttle they would need, if the mission was approved.

Hsull - CAARS
OOC: Trying to grow the mission a bit and allow for our NE Pilot.

It was at that moment that Kula stepped into the deactivated Holodeck. There was a quickness to her step, but she was not as panicked as she might have been a little bit before. Mwezi’s emotions had calmed, allowing her to calm herself as well. She stepped up to the group and glanced at the other two with a small nod to each. “Thank you for summoning me,” she said, kneeling in front of Mwezi and taking his hands into hers.

Kula, Civilian

Hsull nodded back to Kula, “I think he’s all right, he says he sensed a creature in great distress and it unnerved him. He just seems a bit dazed.” Hsull let go of Mwezi’s arm but stood ready to grab him again if necessary. “Do you think you can stand now, or would you rather sit another moment ?”

Hsull - CARRS

” We should probably try locating the creater befor rushing to save it. So we can form a plan and a tactically sound approach to rescuing it” Luna said calmly.
Ensign Luna

Mwezi grimaced slightly. His head still hurt. Kula looked at him, then supported him as H’sull stepped away. “I’ll keep sitting,” he grumbled. “I was meditating and I felt a mind of Galdor somewhere in the big empty. They are terrified.”

Kula looked rather worried at that information. “If there’s someone out there in distress, it’s our duty to try to help them, right?”

Mwezi glanced at Luna. “I was really stretching myself when I sensed the emotions. I’m not sure if I can locate them again, but if I do, it’d be best to be able to pursue as soon as possible. They were scared. Very scared. I don’t want to leave someone in that state longer than I have to.”

Mwezi/Kula
