The commander was a brilliant man and you liked spending time with him.
Not many days had passed but, thanks to your mild and friendly personality, it was not difficult to earn Sisko's friendship. You were grateful and you did not regret even one moment of the decision you made. This space station was not bad at all, on the contrary, it intrigued you, you were very curious and impatient for something that was about to happen.
"What kind of feeling did you mean last time? By the expression on your face, I wouldn’t say it was a normal feeling.” He said, drinking his coffee.
"Yes, I'm doing research, I’ve not still found anything concrete... That feeling helped me, it brought me here." You answered, making Sisko even more curious.
"Really? Explain that to me, please.” He asked, raising an eyebrow.
You looked him in the eye and knew that you could trust him, maybe you should not have confessed this secret, but you read in his eyes sincerity and curiosity. You smiled, nodding.
"Well, you know? I am for a quarter betazoid, my grandmother was and even my mother has developed some kind of mental powers... Very strange.“ You explained, smiling shyly.
The commander was amazed by your confession but he did not understand how this could have anything to do with your job.
"I would never have said that, now I'm more confused than before." He nodded, taking another sip of coffee.
"I know… It's absurd. My telepathic abilities are not very developed, I have never been very capable to handle it. I have always defined myself as a simple human being.” You explained, sighing, "But sometimes I perceive, I mean, I feel things. Feelings, like the feeling that brought me here. I would define it as a kind of... Invitation." You said, staring at the emptiness inside your empty cup of tea.
"That’s why you’re here. As if, it were a sort of premonition…?” He asked, confused but fascinated at the same time.
"Exactly! That's it. I often see future events during the night, I perceive emotions that do not belong to me, these sensations remain for a long time. This one in particular, it is tormenting me.” You explained, sighing.
"I understand. It's strange. So the only logical explanation you have about your ability is that it can be related to your grandmother. You have developed betzoid telepathic abilities in ways others have never had.” Sisko said, truly interested in what you said.
"You are very perspicacious, commander. I believe it is so but I don’t have a more rational explication. It happened even when I was a child and very often, my visions came true. It's scary." You said.
"And this feeling about the space station worries you?" He asked.
"I don’t know, it's a positive but alarming feeling as well. Something extraordinary is about to happen but then... " you have explained but you are stuck, you were hit by a terrible headache.
Sisko, worried about your safety, was about to call the doctor when he was called by his first officer who told him that a mysterious wormhole was just appeared in space.
A new day begun and the doctor was already in his sickbay waiting for his patients. He hoped it was going to be an interesting and curious day, not that he hoped people would get sick, but he did not like to be bored.
Today, new staff would come to the station, including new members of the medical staff like nurses and scientists, so he was content and he could not wait to know his new colleagues.
At that moment, his thoughts were interrupted by the mechanical sound of the door opening.
"Good morning, Doctor Bashir." A familiar voice spoke, but he was turned and so he did not recognize the person, but it was a lovely voice, he smiled.
"The visiting time has not started yet..." he said, turning around and a surprised expression appeared on his face.
"Are you okay?" You asked and in fact, the owner of that charming voice was you, the person he had met yesterday.
"Yes, I guess you're not here for a check-up." He asked, smiling.
"No, fortunately I have no health problems. I'm the new nurse, but I think I don’t have to introduce myself." You told him, giving him the PAD with your professional information.
He had not read anything about his colleagues because he loved the surprises and now he was really intrigued.
"Oh, I didn’t imagine you were part of the new staff. You didn’t tell me." He said, smiling.
"No, I wanted to surprise you, did I succeed?" You asked in a playful tone.
"You did it! Welcome to Deep Space 9." He said, nodding happily.
"It’ll be a pleasure to work with you." You said, smiling tenderly.
"No, pleasure’s mine.” and he smiled too.
His day could not start better than that and he was sure, next days would be even better.
You spent two days in prison, it was not a great stay and you were really worried for your little sister.
Actually, you were not alone in this space station because you were with your uncle and your younger sister. Your uncle could not be defined as an honest, nice and altruist person. He was the definition of horrible, arrogance and rudeness, so you could not stand him. Your uncle had the bad habit of beating you and your sister, and so many times, you sacrificed yourself and took his violence for her. You just wanted to protect your sister and you could not do it inside a cell.
In fact, you had stolen those gold nuggets for her, to buy something to eat, since your uncle was selfish and so you had to take care of your sister alone.
After 48 hours, you were released even if Kira did not agree and she was afraid you could commit another crime.
Your criminal record was still cleaner than Quark's, the person you robbed, so maybe you had learnt your lesson and she had nothing to worry about.
After your release, you were free to come home and you ran as fast as you could to reach your quarters, hoping your sister was fine but you did not find her anywhere and so you thought she was with your abusive uncle. The only place he could stay was to Quarter’s bar because that man loved gambling.
You found your sister there, she was crying and your uncle was about to slap her in the face when you started screaming.
“You bastard, don’t touch her!” you put yourself between your sister and uncle, taking his slap.
In that moment, the security came and they took you and your uncle, there was also Kira watching and she was not glad to see you there.
“You again, are you searching for new troubles?” she asked, blocking you.
“No, it’s not how it seems, I can explain.” You tried to explain yourself, “I was just defending her, he wanted to beat her, I couldn’t stay here to watch. I didn’t do anything wrong!” you said while your sister was hugging you and crying.
“That little bitch complains and cries all the time, I had to stop her!” your drunk uncle said, and then he was taken away by the security men.
Kira knew you were honest and you were not the guilty one and so she let you go.
“Ok, you’re innocent now but don’t think I’ve forgotten what you did last time!” she said with severity.
“I know, I’m sorry for what I did and I won’t do it again, I’ve not even told you the reason why I stole that gold.” You talked, maybe you needed to vent with someone and you were so desperate that she nodded, sitting with you in a table of the bar.
“Ok, if you want to confess your crime I’m here to listen, but I’m not your friend, I’m giving you the chance to redeem yourself.” She said and then she looked at your sister, maybe she was the reason why Kira decided to give you a chance to explain yourself.
“Thank you, Commander.” You nodded.
Maybe it could not help you to resolve your problem but it could help to heal your nerves from the stress this life gave you.
You could not forget Dax's beauty so easily, she was the thought that kept appearing in your mind.
Her presence tormented your dreams and your desires. You continued to observe her without ever speaking to her as if you were blocked by a kind of shame, by an irrational fear, perhaps you were afraid of not being enough for a woman like her.
What could you tell her that she did not already know? What experiences could you narrate to her that she had not already lived in her past seven lives? Whatever you had told her, she would have continued to ignore you, finding her PAD more interesting than your words.
You craved her, you wanted to know and love her more than anything else, you knew that this was impossible because the trill race had precise rules on romantic relationships but you wanted to be the exception. Her exception.
You had to be brave and try your luck. This life was an hazard after all and you had to risk it all.
"Hello, do I bother?" You asked Dax, appearing calm but you were so anxious.
Dax remembered you, since she had noticed the way you looked at her and she wondered why you had never talked to her until now. People usually invited her to dinner, everyone was interested in her, but she politely refused all their invitations.
She also observed all your moves, just as you observed her, but she was not sure of your intentions.
After a few seconds, she looked up and looked at you, smiling, and she shook her head.
"No, you’re welcome." her smile was mysterious and fascinating, you would watch her smile for hours but you knew you could not waste any more time.
"I heard you're a Tongo fan, do you want to play with me?" You asked, smiling.
The expression of Dax changed, now she was curious, surprised that you had proposed to play this game.
Maybe you were different from the others, you just wanted to be her friend without ulterior motives or maybe you just wanted to know her. She did not expect it, especially after all the time you spent watching her like a maniac.
Her smile widened and she nodded, "Sure, but I warn you I'm very good at that game, so it will not be easy to defeat me." She replied, putting down her PAD.
Your big chance arrived, you felt so happy that you would jump all over the hall but in the end you just nodded, smiling radiantly, "May I win or lose, it will be a pleasure to play with you, Jadzia Dax." You answered, spelling every letter of her name.
Last night was very hard for you, you drowned your sorrows in alcohol and you risked feeling sick. Fortunately, Mr. Odo came before you passed out on Quark’s counter and convinced you to come back to your quarters.
Now that you thought about what happened, you felt ashamed, you did not want anyone to see you in that miserable state but it happened. You were so sad that you did not care about anything anymore, you were still suffering but now you were sober and you regretted what you did. Unfortunately, you knew it could happen again because the wounds in your heart were still bleeding and you might have fallen into the abyss again.
There was something you wanted to do, you wanted to thank that member of the security that helped you yesterday. You have not talked so much with him, but without his help now you would really be sleeping on the floor of the bar, stinking like a drunken bum.
Despite the alcohol and the confusion, you still remembered his face, his austere and cold expression of a strict diligent man, completely loyal to his duty. More people should be like that, you thought, even if you did not know him at all but you trusted him unconditionally, you did not know why. You had to thank him and find some of the honour you lost yesterday.
You dressed and then you came out of your quarters, you looked so different from the sloppy person of last night. Yes, you lost your mind and you kept being afraid, anxious and worried.
Your steps were quick and you walked until you found Odo, he was doing his reconnaissance, so you approached him.
"Good morning, sir!" you said, your voice was shy and then he turned around.
Odo remembered you, but he did not expect to find you here, usually people spoke with him when there was a problem and then his thoughts went to Quark, Odo thought that ferengi had bothered you again.
"Good morning, do you have any problems?" He asked politely.
"No, I'm fine... I wanted to thank you for yesterday, I was in terrible condition. I didn’t want to cause troubles, I'm very sorry. Thank you very much for helping me." You said in a weak voice.
Odo raised an eyebrow, he knew that you were not a bad person and by your insecure voice, he also understood how vulnerable and scared you were.
He nodded, "You do not need to thank me, I just did my duty. I advise you to avoid certain places at night... Well, avoid them every time, actually." He said, looking at Quark's bar with severity, "This station is full of thugs, be careful. "
"Yes, I see. I am grateful that there are people like you who protects this space station. I feel safe, thank you." You said, timidly, and then you showed him a small smile.
Odo was surprised, it was rare that someone thanked him for his job. He realized that you were sincere, he was proud of himself.
Odo just nodded and then returned to his job but he did not forget your words, your smile.
