Ylana exhaled harshly. I want to be excited about this, I do. It’s just difficult timing. I only went back to work a little while ago and I’m really enjoying it. But it’s busy and I don’t know how we’re going to juggle both our jobs, make sure Nikala is doing well, AND manage a new baby, even though we have people at the house to help us. They say you can’t have it all, all at the same time, and goodness knows I know that’s true. But I don’t want to give up my career. I’ve put it on hold long enough and I’m only just getting my feet under me here. Halai is trusting me to hold up my end and I don’t want to let her down.

Ylana’s husband nodded thoughtfully. One of the perks of being Governor is I get to make the decisions, no matter where I am. I’m sure that by the time this little one is here, I can allow the Lt. Governor to take one more while I manage some things at home. And even then, if something needs my attention, the right people would know where to find me. I can come home to take care of things any time I wish. Perks of being in charge of colony He gave her a bit of a smirk. Certainly having children was by no means an easy task. Raising required at the very least the presence of authoritative figures. Michael was by no means going to let it slide, and being Governor meant he could do as he sought fit given the circumstances of the colony’s progress.
Perhaps that helps a bit? he added.

Ylana shifted her position a little and leaned on him so her head rested on his shoulder. She nodded. We’ll make it work.
After a moment of silence, her demeanour shifted slightly to one of deep thoughtfulness. Leamas is tricky. Seeing him tonight reminded me that he has the ability to bring out my abilities in ways I’ve not really tested before. I’ve always been afraid of them, bent on keeping them under control. Moset’s experiments made me fear them greatly, that if I ever really tried using them, I’d be a monster like he was. Rarely was she this candid about her feelings on this topic. While she had no secrets from Michael usually, her experiences during the occupation of Betazed and her subsequent use as an experiment subject were something she rarely ever brought up. It was in the past and remained there… at least until times like this made those memories rear their ugly head. What if… what if I’ve been going about it the wrong way all this time? What if I should be testing my telekinesis and stretching it, rather than just controlling it?

It had not taken long for Michael to respond at all. I don’t see why you couldn’t test them. I think it is wise to consider any medical issues that could come up. But, in the end, what Moset may have meant for evil, you can use good. What he did wasn’t right, but the telekinesis is not an agent of bad things. It’s a tool. Much like one might use a hammer to build a house or to hurt someone. Once you learn how to use it one way, expanding your knowledge of it might become easier in other ways. And it may be better to know what you can do before finding others who might know more about it than you do.
Michael’s wife was unique in many aspects, but her telekinesis had made her stand out to most. Or at least to those who knew of her abilities. He remembered meeting her for the first time, and could recall that it wasn’t the telekinesis that he was attracted to. In fact, she had found that out rather quickly when he had brought her belongings that she had left in his ready room back to her quarters. The memory briefly came to surface, especially having considered the news she just shared.
Knowing she likely read that memory as well, he put the thought away, keeping his focus on her concerns right now.
