"Come" Melody called out as she was just placing a bowl of food in front of one very hungry hedgehog. The door of her quarters opened to reveal Mr Carson stood there holding a silver tray with an elegant silver tea service and a PADD on it.

"Ah there you are Miss Jones. I haven't seen you in a whiles and after hearing about your 'incarceration' I have taken it upon myself to bring you some much needed supplies" He walked in and placed the tray on the table "Tea?"

Melody smiled "Hello Mr Carson. Yes a cup of tea would be lovely. So I take it you have heard about what happened?"

As he poured two cups of jasmine tea "I have heard one or two stories. Some from the security staff. If you want to tell me that's fine., If you've told the story so many times, he words have lost all meaning that's fine too." He offered a cup to Melody and sat on one end of the sofa closest to the table.

Melody took the cup and sat down next to him. "I've told this story now to several people and yes, to tell you the truth I am getting tired of repeating it. But, I want you to hear it from me as well."

Jacob sat there and listened intently as Melody recalled the tale again of her mother, The Borg, Save'ena, Wolf's reaction, the captains reaction. When she had finished he sat his own cup down then turned back to her. "I always thinks it's best to get information from the source. You care about her a great deal don't you?"

Melody nodded "I do. It's Just.......... I don't know what wrong with me. Well...... that's not true. I tend to act first and think thing out later sometimes. I really should start thinking things through first. Sometimes I over think things, running different scenarios over and over in my mind. I know I have to be more professional now and, as the Captain pointed out I can't let me feeling get in the way of Command decisions." her voice trailed off.

Carson smiled "It's ok, I understand, and that very true. But don't to cut your feeling off all together." He stood and came over to her "You'll pull through this. Your stronger than you think Miss Jones. Just remember, some things can't be thought here" he gently touched the side of his head.

"They have to be felt" he continued, placing his hand over his heart........

"Here."
