Mission: Mission 19: Taking out the Garbage
Location: Various Locations - USS Roanoke
Timeline: 1300Hrs - December 23rd, 2390

Commander Torilla Yamaguchi's strength had finally crumbled under the weight of gravity and time, she was suffering her second major issue in a month, part of it was because she was having issues with her pregnancy but part of it was because she had killed a fellow officer to prevent further harm coming to her baby and grand-baby.

"I don't know where to begin..." she started and then stopped. "I was up on the bridge... when I felt a searing..blinking pain... it was like...I don't know how to describe it."

Tressa put the cup of tea into her friend and colleague's hand. "Had you ever felt something like that before?"

"No..." Torilla admitted. "Not even when Rachael shared her memory of what happened between her and Lieutenant Pike."

"You felt it as both a mental and a physical pain?"

"I did.." she responded. "Rachael had both her legs and one arm broken... then Gonad kicked her in the chest..." she paused. "she almost lost her baby.... she's not been told that little detail yet..."

"May I take your blood pressure? Just to get a baseline as we explore what happened," the counselor said.

Torilla nodded as she stripped off her uniform jacket to reveal her finely toned arms. "Okay..." she said softly.

Tressa wrapped a reader around Torilla's arm and the computer took a reading. The counselor sat back but didn't remove the band.

"You are under some stress, the tea will help. Rachael is safe now?"

Torilla nodded her head, in a jerky motion. "Yes.... yes she is.."

"You have had to handle a lot lately, it would overwhelm anyone," Tressa said.

Torilla raised an eyebrow. "I can share the memory... of Rachael being attacked.." she sighed. "Rachael and I were able to take solace from the fact that he will never harm another soul ever again.." there was something in her tone that spoke of dire consequences for anyone else who tried the same.

"Has there been an investigation?"

Torilla narrowed her eyes as she gave Tressa a rather cynical smirk. "Yep. Jacen Saint is handling things..." she then rolled her eyes. "Apparently protecting my daughter will cost me my career.." she shrugged.

"You don't think the investigation will be unbiased?" the counselor asked.

"To be honest Tressa.... I don't know what to think.." she commented. "Worst case scenario is this... I'll be Exec untill we get back to a Starbase, then they will come for me in the middle of the night... they'll yank he off in chains in front of both of my daughters and I'll have these two in jail... they'll be taken from me and given to their father... I'll never get to know my children..." she shrugged. "No... I don't think Jacen Saint is capable of anything.. really."
