Commander Torilla Yamaguchi was sitting at the kitchen table as she regarded Lieutenant Nalla Furban, the two were spending time together as Torilla taught the Deltan to control her own abilities but it was a very slow and very long uphill slog.

Jake meanwhile was in the living room, playing with the twins as they got to know him, he'd also joked that Nalla was seeing his wife more than he himself was.

Torilla had found the joke somewhat amusing but they had not shared it with Nalla.

Nalla was beginning to perspire as she fought hard to master a more Deltan-inspired technique. Bringing down all those Vulcan-like defensive walls hurt after about twenty minutes or so. That was an improvement, compared to when she and Torilla first started working together.

"Easy... try it again..." Torilla said softly. "Your psionic defenses are strengthening slowly... you are making progress." Yamaguchi encouraged the smaller woman.

"It does not feel like it," Nalla noted with a shadow of frustration in her voice. "I cannot filter out the noise fast enough to master any of the techniques you are trying to teach, Commander."

Yamaguchi smiled. "But you are improving." she responded as she regarded the Deltan across from her before she picked up her drink, she drained her glass as she regarded the other woman. "So.... we need to create a psionic bubble which is clear of everything.. any ideas?"

"Localized Dampening field." Jake responded with a smile. "Doesn't need to be strong but just enough to filter out all the local psionic material." he looked between both women. "but it might cancel out your efforts too."

"I do not see the latter counter-effect as a bad result," Nalla noted respectfully to Jake.

Jake wasn't in uniform as he wore a simple shirt and a pair of jeans. "The twins are asleep in the next room..." he said to his wife as he noted the question on her face.

Torilla smiled. "Alright.." she tapped her combadge as she proceeded to try getting it set up. "Alright... the key is to drown out the white noise without drowning ourselves out in the process.."

"Very well," Nalla agreed and took a few calming breaths before she was ready to start again. "I believe I am focused for another round."

Jake nodded as he was presently fiddling with a tricorder. "Almost set ladies.." he commented before he activated it. "Ready..."

Nalla visually relaxed as she heard silence. Dead silence for the first time. Then she looked to Torilla and asked, "Now what do I do?"

"Now... you take a moment and enjoy the silence." Torilla answered. "and when you're ready... try and enter my mind..." Yamaguchi added.
