If Sinthia has been quiet, unobtrusive more than her usual for the last few days, there's an easy explanation: Q. She hadn't asked to go back, not in so many words, but nonetheless there's where she'd been sent. Fortunately--for a great many people who didn't know it yet--she was back, but back and changed in a very obvious way. Several very obvious ways.

The first was easy: she was adult now, far more so than even the precociousness she'd showed before; she stood after the flash of light had passed, stunned, body language tense. Her clothes are as usual, unrelieved black, though for more of a reason than it simply suits her. Black hides bloodstains well, and she's fairly covered in them at the moment.

She took a deep and faintly startled breath when the belated realization hit her that this place was utterly unrecognizable to her, eyes closed and reaching out mentally like a whisper through unprotected minds, an unspoken question rippling with who-what-where-when is this-am I?, all the questions blending into one confused feeling.

hello from the other side ( open )

Cridhe has given Beverly a lot to think about lately. They hadn't touched the topic of Trill, exactly, but they had discussed Time Lords. The concepts were too similar for Beverly to let go of, too close for her comfort. A part of her wants to lock it all away and stop thinking about it, but another part of her desperately wants to know more. Maybe if she gets more perspectives, she might finally be able to put it all behind her and move on.

It's only taken almost a decade.

Most of her time that isn't spent in sickbay lately is spent in Ten Forward, where she more or less camps out at a table with tea and a bowl of fruit. She has a couple of names to look for and is hopeful that the Doctor she met might turn up here sometime. She'd also like to talk with the one who took over sickbay not long ago for several reasons.

Either way, here she is and despite the thoughts on her mind, she's doing much better than she has been lately. She attributes that to a lot of factors, not the least of which was her daring midnight outing with Deanna on Pacifica. She has a feeling that will be making the rumor rounds and she is all right with that. Due to her better frame of mind, she is much more open to random conversation and might even offer a pleasant greeting to anyone passing by.

After a vivid dream Lorna woke up and almost immediately started to cry. It was easier to make her cry these days. She wanted to blame it on the baby, and maybe that was part of it, but the real truth was that she was just finally letting herself feel her emotions.

What made it more awkward was that Booker had slept over the previous night and she was curled up against him while she cried about the guy she'd rather be in bed with.

Forty-eight hours passed since he suddenly changed form. First, he was freaked out by how his goatee suddenly grabbed the PADD he'd been browsing. And if that wasn't bad enough, when he went to a mirror to check what the hell was going on with his facial hair, his entire body turned into water. Derek remained in his room the entire time in an effort to understand what was happening.

Showing up on the Enterprise seemed like a dream at first. It wasn't something agreed to the way Eudio was, and there was no immediate danger. The dream had now turned into a nightmare. Nothing Derek researched gave him any answers. He didn't reach out to his roommate but headed straight to the sick bay in hope of a remedy in addition to an explanation.

He came through the automatic doors with urgency. Derek Morgan didn't easily scare or worry but neither had he suddenly lost control the way this had come upon him. There were few things that he reacted poorly to almost instantly and that was not having control. "What the hell his happening to me?!" her blurted out upon entering the room.
