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. ]

	I find their claims of the nature of this facility and the purpose of our imprisonment to be suspect, at best. Unfortunately, we have not yet determined what their agenda truly is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And until we do, there's no telling what they might subject us to or decide is "fair."

[ she agrees with the whole suspect thing. none of this makes any sense. wearily she sighs and lifts a hand to pinch the bridge of her nose. not being able to sense anything is really upsetting on a good day. on this sort of day, it's getting in the way of her normal routine. ]

If I could just sense whoever is in control...

	[ He tilts his head slightly, frowning at the gesture. ] Though I am uncertain of whether it will prove useful toward that particular goal, it is likely that you will find your empathy restored tomorrow. Our captors routinely suppress abilities which are beyond the reach of a human on the initial day of arrival. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ that small bit of comfort is helpful to deanna's peace of mind and she offers a tired smile. ]

I hope you're right, Data.

[ after all, he should remember that first time she lost her empathic abilities. she had felt as though she'd lost herself in a way and dealing with the belief that it would be permanent hadn't been easy. now she's fighting that for a second time, but the idea that it'll come back another day will help her get through this one.

normally she might ask why he doubts she'll reach that goal, but today she doesn't want doubt to cloud her more than it already has. she's got enough to deal with. she'll worry with the extent of her abilities when she has them back. ]
