Brenna’s gaze turned to a middle distance while she thought, thumb tapping on the cuff of her boot where one leg was crossed across her knee, she was thinking. As she began to speak her gaze returned to Sheleah, “I was born on Betazed in a big city on the main continent. I was always getting into things and listening in on conversations that I was not old enough for. I was always into mischief as a child and was very active. During the Academy I had a reputation for training hard and I took my share of hits and injuries. I appear to make quick decisions about trust or distrust. I actually rely on my ability to observe others’ body language and personal interactions rather than my telepathy. I tend to be intellectual and logical,” here she grinned, “as much as a person with empathy can be. Unlike most Betazoids I enjoy working with animals rather than shying away from it. I love music, dancing, and meditation. I crave the quiet of these activities. My professional interests include interpersonal behaviors and sociology. I also enjoy the more meditative martial arts, though I know several.”

Sheleah listened carefully and noted how well rehearsed Brenna’s recitation was. That didn’t really surprise her considering she was the COS and most she had known were like that to varying degrees.

“I think I’ve been to that city. It has such beautiful green spaces. So did your natural tendency to listen in on conversations and things of that nature lead to your ultimate choice of security as a MOS.” she asked.

“Midara is very beautiful. But like the rest of the planet it is very lush. Though it will always be home.” Brenna laughed at Sheleah’s observation, “Oh yes, but my primary MOS is Intelligence. My tendency to be nosey has served me quite well in that respect.”

Sheleah nodded.

“Well remind me never to get on your bad side. How did you do in the academy, socially speaking?”

Sheleah’s questions seemed random but she had discovered that every counselor had their own patented way of performing their duties.

Brenna gave an internal sigh about her bad side but kept a smile on her face. The myth of scary intel people served a purpose and that’s why the big intel brass kept it going. “I did very well. The co-op I was assigned to freshman year, we ended up being very close. We all had different MOSes but we gelled together well. We were very close all the way through graduation. I participated in sports and other extracurricular activities, I did a lot of sight seeing on Earth while I was there, and camping. We did a lot of group camping. I even dated.”

That was something Sheleah could latch on to.

“Dating in the academy. Yeah, that’s always fun for a lot of people. You make the most interesting connections there. Do you still keep in touch with a lot of your old co-op?”

Sheleah made a mental note to reach out to Mileena and Jeff again. Sometimes being a counselor reminded one of their own short commings.
