misunderstanding. I thought you'd like to know that in his personal logs, Dan talked about you a great deal. He loved you very much. If that's true, then how could he leave me like this? That's what I'm trying to find out. I know it's hard, but it would help if you could tell me about him. When was the last time you saw him? Two nights ago. We were planning our next shore leave together. Did he mention anything that might have upset him? No, not really. He did say something about work, about Lt Nara, but it wasn't serious. Nara. She's his superior in the nacelle tube? Yes. Dan sensed that she... Well, she felt threatened by him. She thought he was after her position. Was he prone to mood swings or depression? No, but he was very sensitive to other people's moods. He used to look at me and know what I was feeling. I always loved that about him. Well, Napeans are partially empathic. Maybe he inherited his mother's abilities. He teased me that when I met her, I wouldn't get away with anything. We knew each other for over two years, but we didn't get together until a few months ago. We took it slow. We thought we had all the time in the world. Something must have happened to him, Counsellor. Something terrible, because it's not like Dan to take his own life. - I understand. - Please find out what it was. Can I help you? I didn't see you there. You're Lt Nara, aren't you? Can I do something for you? I'm investigating Lt Kwan's death. I just wanted to look around. It's such a shame. He was a good man. Did you notice any change in his behaviour recently? No. I've been going over the last few days, trying to see if I... ...if I missed any warning signs. It's as if something inside him just snapped. - How was his job performance? - Excellent. He knew this ship better than most. He helped build it at Utopia Planitia. Did he get on with his co-workers? He was ambitious. He came in here with all sorts of new ideas, - Some of them very good ideas. - But not all? No. But after he settled in, we got along fine. Excuse me a minute. Feel free to look around. Where was Lt Kwan's station? Right there. Are you alright? I don't know. I don't know how to describe it. I was suddenly overwhelmed by a flood of emotions. Fear, rage, panic... They weren't coming from any person. They were just there, in the room. Whose emotions were they? You said you were alone. I was. I scanned the area. I found no anomalous readings. How could you be empathic in an empty room? I don't know. Could Lt Kwan being partially empathic have anything to do with it? - What do you mean? - I'm not sure. But the feelings Troi described are consistent with suicide. Could his death leave an empathic echo? I don't see how. But if I went back there, I might get a better sense of what I experienced. I don't think so. You're showing high levels of psilosynine. Psilosynine? A neurotransmitter involved in telepathy. The experience overwhelmed you the first time. Wait until your levels return to normal. How long? Three, maybe four hours. This time I want someone with you. I shall accompany you, Counsellor. Captain's log, stardate 47623.2. We've arrived at Starbase 328 on schedule. After taking aboard medical supplies, we will depart for Barson II. Come in. - Hello, Worf. - Counsellor. Have you found anything in Lt Kwan's logs? Everything I've read suggests he was well-adjusted and optimistic. It just doesn't make any sense. Can I get you anything? No, nothing. Yridian tea. I've been thinking about what happened to me in the nacelle tube. Whether it was an empathic echo, left by Kwan's death. Have your empathic experiences always involved the physical presence of another person? - All the ones I'm sure of, yes. - What do you mean, "sure of?" Well, when I was a little girl, my grandfather used to tell me stories by the fire. I would close my eyes ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Нашествие похитителей тел на английском - текст Близнецы на английском - текст Звезда пленительного счастья на английском - текст Пролетая над гнездом кукушки на английском - текст Daenseo-ui sunjeong на английском |
