Because Zeanar had full access to Myqian’s file, the computer dutiful responded: “Commander Dira Asala Myqian is rated as a T- Four telepath and E-Four Empath meaning she can can both read the minds and perceive emotions from members of any species with a two-lobed brain. Her skill rating within this class is rated as High for receiving and Moderately High for sending. Myqian was raised in Hadran City on Vega Colony, and based on known variables, including spending higher amounts of time with her Haliian father, it could be estimated that Betazoid culture may have factored in slightly less than Haliian culture. However, the strength of this correlation correlation is rated at only sixty percent.

“Haliian culture, like many psi-positive cultures values privacy of the mind but is, if contrarily very open minded. Haliians prize their connections to others and this is especially true in family units and amongst friends. Haliians as a whole are empathic only and very free with the use of their abilities amongst each other. They generally will filter themselves when amongst non-empaths, though many believe that this creates undue stress on the mind, and so will allow themselves to feel freely, but not act upon what they perceive. Haliians view their psi-abilities as a spiritual component of their lives and typically actively seek connections with people.

In addition to their overt empathic abilities, the Haliians have latent telepathic abilities. These can be amplified using a special crystal called a canar that can allow them to share their thoughts with others and creating a deeper bonding.

Right. Ever had been correct on her assumption that Dira had possessed high emphatic abilities but had guessed her telepathic abilities would have been lower. That in and of itself was not the problem. Emptiness of not allowing herself to make that connection to Dira or another of their kind filled Ever with a loneliness and dread of denying that which was most fundamental to those like herself. That connection, touching that universal consciousness, gently caressing the strings of the web that connected each like a  sensitive nerve, resonating the very nature of being, reminding each they were part of a collective community, bound together and not alone. To deny that kinship to both of them would be cruel, but necessary. Then again, Myqian may not have the same desire, not having the same measure of Betazoid culture influences. 

Hiding her thoughts would be easier through video conference than face to face. How long Ever would be able to maintain a physical distance would be difficult to achieve. Also being a trained psychiatrist, the XO could read body language. Time to put that intelligence officer training to good use she thought as she tapped the LCARS terminal on the desk, opening a channel to the Ogawa’s XO and her new boss.

Many of her initial staff meetings had been completed, and with the news that they weren’t going back to the old ship Dira found herself doing a lot of admin work in her temporary office. The chime startled her momentarily from the report she was writing and she glanced over at the ID. She mostly expected people to drop by her office or send her a quick note if they needed to chat with her, but there was a lot going on right now, so there were any number of reasons why they might be calling her this way.

The screen flipped to show her the new COP and Dira gave a bow of her head. “Commander Zeanar. To what do I owe the pleasure of this call? I do know I still need to have a chat with you sooner rather than later.” Dira had arrived first so they weren’t going to sideline her when the crew needed a first officer and her previous eval had been fine enough to use until she got a new one.
