Posted by Civilian Leslie Dean (Xorem) (Anomalous Individual) in Xorem’s Arrival
We once were happy but now we’re unhappyXorem, also known as some other named that they couldn’t recall at the moment was being taken somewhere.
Home? Laboratory? Prison? What would happen to them? Would they be studied? Would they be probed? Would they be cut? Would they see the face that sang to them? Years ago? Hours ago? Centuries ago?
Xorem remembered grass, trees, a cave and going into the cave. And going out of the cave and changing.
*But the faces they remembered from the trees and the grass and the cave were not there. Where were the known faces? Why were unknown faces here? Where were they being taken? *
Where were they?
“Xorem” they said in the voice of an adolescent.
Xorem was frightened and screamed. Before the eyes of the ARU officers, Xorem changed from the shape of an adolescent girl to that of a woman probably in her early 30’s, and while they screamed, the sound of the scream matured as the shape of Xorem changed.
“Xorem” they said, but now the voice was that of a woman.
The file associated with Xorem showed the individual was anomalous. It suggested that the original form that Xorem had was that of a girl named Leslie Dean that had disappeared years before. How and when Xorem/Leslie became anomalous in nature was unknown … the parents of Leslie, Nicolas Dean and Caroline McCartney were across the federation in two different locations and may be able to provide answers, calls were put out to them and the starships on which they were serving.
But they had no idea what was happening to them and they were scared.
- Xorem/Leslie Dean
Had it been a long time? A short time? An instant? Impossible for Xorem to know. Xorem screamed again, and as Xorem screamed, they changed once more, features morphing into those of a gorn, the scream turning into a growl, but it still sounded frightened rather than angry.
“Xorem,” Gorn-Xorem said in a low gutteral voice, their lizard-like features at odds with its eyes that still had the look of an adolescent girl. A terrified frightened girl.
“Sirs, Doctor Caroline McCartney, we’ve got her on subspace,” the NE reported who had been trying to reach her, the one trying to reach Nicolas Dean had less success, “his ship is not responding, will continue to try to reach him.”
=/\= Leviathan, this is Doctor Caroline McCartney of the Starfleet Medical ship USS Quinn. How may I be of assistance? =/\=
On hearing the voice of Caroline, Gorn-Xorem screamed again, and changed back to the shape of the little girl, they looked frightened and began to shake as their eyes wentr to the source of the voice and they moved there as well.
“Xorem,” Leslie-Xorem said and tried to move towards the voice they recognised, but the restraints meant they couldn’t.
On the monitor, the countenance of Caroline looked concerned and slightly scared.
=/\= Lesley … =/\= she lost her composure, then she regained her professional demeanor and her voice had a touch of anger about it. =/\= Is this some kind of cruel prank, Leviathan? Have I not suffered enough. Leslie died, she disappeared into a cave on that darn world. We waited for her to retun, but she never did. It cost me my marriage. Don’t tease me like this. At least have the sense to show her as she would appear today if she lived, not as she was. I shall be reporting this. I have people here who need my services. Next time you want to contact me … don’t. =/\=
“Mama,” called out Leslie-Xorem, and Caroline paused, her face softening, =/\= you’ve done your research, Leviathan, good work on that, it is cruel behaviour, but your dedication to your mistaken beliefs is commendable. Have you tried this on Nicolas yet? I don’tt have time for this, I do have patients that need me. =/\=
Xorem was confused, why was mama angry with them. Why wasn’t she here with them. Xorem screamed again and changed, this time they were a horta.
The voice that came out of horta-Xorem was low and rumbling, but it had a tinge to it that was still Leslie in nature “Xorem … Mama” they said.
Caroline seemed to be reaching for a button to close off the comm call at her end, but she seemed to think better of it, =/\= Fascinating, that’s really fascinating, I’m curious as to the reason why you’d be doing this to me. But at the very least the individual there seems to think I’m their mama. Xorem is that the name or the species or what? It almost deserves study and I am due to be in the field soon. Tell me, do you have a need for a Psychologist? =/\=
