She let out a shrieking laugh, “Thats the point though isn’t it! I had no choice in the matter, not under Trill law! I hate it! I hate Raain!” Her head throbbed again and she let out a whimper this time holding her head. “Get out” She thought she had said in her mind but the words echoed the room. “Get out!” She said again trying to force any thought that the Raain Symbiotics previous host was imprinting on her. Flashes were starting to overwhelm her senses and before she knew it she was hitting her head. She wasn’t ready for any of this, especially so young with no training. She could feel the covers on her bed fall of the side as she kicked out, more flashes of memories that went her own this was Raain now, growing impatient or her own ability to stop the memories flooding her vision, taste, smell and touch. People who’d she’d kissed but not with her lips, food she’d eaten but didn’t know the name. “GET OUT!”

Frigga wiggled her way farther up onto Octavia sticking her nose right against her neck and letting out a deep doggy sigh. This action seemed to lift her weight and then gently place more and more of her weight on Octavia. One paw reached up to stop her arm from moving and hitting herself. She let out a soft whimper, telling Lt Howell that she smelled the increase in hormones that Octavia was not okay and that Frigga was almost out of tricks. Of course Frigga had no way of knowing if Lt Howell understood or had ever worked with a therapy dog. With her other front leg she pawed gently at Octavia trying to get her to pet her instead of hitting herself.

Garion watched the scene and heard the shouting and his accident was forgotten. Was there danger to the ship and its personnel and equipment due to the patient? Were there other, more experienced security officers around? Should he go in and be the hero and make matters worse? Should he stay here and do nothing and get spat out because he should have done something? As a new Ensign, he fell back on his training from kendo - WWSD? What Would Sensei Do? See what was happening, and call for back up if needed or uncertain. And breathe. So he breathed. And then put in a call to Security.
=/\= Ensign Garion Rivanson to security, you may need to come here. There is some shouting in sickbay and I’m not sure if it could become dangerous or not. =/\=

After he did so, he left the viewing port and went down into the main section of it, ready to assist if need be.

Elin rested a hand on Frigga’s head briefly to reassure her that she understood and summoned her best soothing but authoritative “mom” voice. “Octavia, stop and look at me. Take a breath. I will give you a sedative if needed but I’d rather give you the choice. Rainn, I know you can hear me and I know you are capable of lying low as it were, please do. Your host has been traumatized and needs some time to adjust.” NE Nurse Nora quickly and quietly walked up to pass Elin a hypospray and received an appreciative nod from her in response.

Her words worked, Octavia felt the burn in her head subside as the memories slowed. Her head fell onto the pillow and she turned away from everyone burying her head in the pillow. She just wanted to be left alone, she hoped that when she woke next this was all just some bad dream and she was herself again not two other people not joined but deep down she knew, she knew that her life had been changed forever and that the sooner she came to terms with it the sooner she’d be able to get on with her life as Octavia Raain because who she was before was dead.

Elin rested a hand gently on Octavia’s shoulder. “I know you are exhausted and overwhelmed. If you’d like, this once, I can give you something to help you sleep. You’ve both been through a lot and need more rest and healing before having to deal with more.”

Lt. Elin Howell, COPsych

She liked the sound of that and so she rolled over to face the Lieutenant. “Yes please.” She’d slept for hours before but it hadn’t felt like sleep, hell it felt like a living nightmare, she really welcomed sleep. “Thank you,” She said her eyes bloodshot from the tears as her makeup was smeared across her face. She looked more like a panda than a Trill.
