Harder and stranger still to admit that Beverly and Jean-Luc share an intense love for each other, but that she is the only one who knows. That is something she doesn't want to vocalize. Not now and perhaps not ever unless she is forced to. No good can come of it yet.
Instead, she simply nods and searches for how to continue.
"I was transferred to Starfleet Medical that second year and then I requested a return to the Enterprise the following year. While I was gone, they encountered the Borg for the first time. Then I returned and at the end of that year, 2366 into 2367, the Borg returned. You probably saw something in my nightmares about that. About... Jean-Luc and Locutus. The Borg used him against us, against the entire Quadrant and the Federation itself. In my time, he still bears those scars, both the physical and emotional ones. It's... difficult--" For lack of a better word. "--to know what should be coming, should already have happened, and know that I can't say anything about it."
Not just because of Starfleet's rules and regulations, but also because... how would she even begin to tell them? How could she say she knows that the Borg will strip so many people of their very selves, including their captain?
"It will be an extremely trying time for all of us when it happens in this timeline. But it does... change certain people. For the better, I think. It gives them new perspectives. I just hope it works the same here."
The only question now is how long will they have to wait?
