day 254 | action;
A long time had passed since Deanna had felt the distinct lack of her empathic powers. She had only felt this sort of emptiness once in her life before today and it was no better now than it had been then. Last time, she had thought she would forever be without them and felt as though she had lost a limb, but she was hopeful that this time she could figure out what had caused her to lose them in an effort to get them back. At least she had experience in dealing with this feeling. Not that this would help her much, but it was a start. It was better than nothing.

Unsure where she was or how she had gotten here, and feeling as lost and alone as she had ever felt in her life, Deanna wandered around the area. She passed what looked like a park of some sort, a library, and something that looked like a residential building. That seemed a little more permanent than she had been hoping for. She'd listened to the welcome message, but it definitely hadn't seemed like something the Federation would condone, which meant that she had been kidnapped somehow. That wasn't a good thing for many reasons and she didn't like to think of what Captain Picard might do when he found out, let alone Will Riker. It was inevitable that one of them would and she doubted either would take it well.

Still, being here was an opportunity to learn about a new location and Deanna intended to do as much information-gathering as she could despite the situation she had recently been exposed to and the one she was in now. What she really needed was a way to contact Starfleet, if not Captain Picard himself. She had found something that seemed like a communicator, but without having someone she trusted verify it, she was hesitant to use it. Whatever the case, she much preferred to make contact on her own terms and that included being in possession of her empathic abilities. So for now she kept searching the area. It wouldn't do her any good to stay in one place.

[ ooc: deanna can be found anywhere in the dome today, but she starts out in sector 2. ]

It's good to hear that they were taken care of, but what catches and holds Deanna's attention is what he says afterwards. The particular care and attention given to her state of mind, whether or not he intended to, is far more reassuring than anything he's said before. It's what she needs to hear in the wake of everything with Shinzon and it's that reassurance that will help her deal with a lot of things here.

"Thank you, Captain," she finally responds, her voice soft and her smile grateful. Somehow, she thinks he might possibly understand what she's going through, or at least that she needs the support of the people she's come to think of as family. Part of that is doing her part to help them, too. "Once I'm more familiar with the way things work here, I would like to resume my duties." As a counselor, she means. It's the way she can help everyone stay united and work towards getting back. It would be easier with her abilities, but she can adapt if she has to and in this situation she might just have to.

"I would sincerely hope that you would." Of course her presence would have been wonderful for Data after Seven had left, and now Geordi. The Android had even resorted to turning off his emotions chip. He would worry about himself and what the recent reemergence of Locutus had done to him. But he's more worried about Data.

"You have been sorely missed. And very needed." And Jean-Luc knows that being needed can go quite a long way, telepathic abilities or not.

"Then I hope I can help while we're all here," Deanna answers, her smile warming just enough to convey that she really means that. She wants to be useful, to help them all if they need it and be there for them throughout their time here. He's right about being needed; that's what they all desire most, to have a place to fill and people who care enough to miss them when they're gone.

"Is there anything you need me to do right now?" Does he need to speak with her about certain things or does he want to wait until later to brief her on things?
