Both the Emersons smiled. "Yes, let's go finish lunch, assuming we get to finish eating it." Mike Emerson responded before the four of them, went back to the table to finish their lunch, when time suddenly seemed to stop dead in its tracks as everyone seemed to fade into smoke on the wind as Sokanon found herself seated in her office, she was alone as the Caitian female seemed rattled, she suddenly looked around. "What the hell was that?" she asked softly.

The walls deigned her unworthy of an answer as there was only silence in her office when suddenly her doorbell beeped at her. "Enter" the Catian commented evenly as she was wanting to see what her visitor had brought for her, the door opened and in walked Lieutenant Kadian Paris, the young female held a PADD in her hands. "The results of the DNA analysis for you're purview Doctor?"

"Which DNA analysis did I want again Lieutenant?" Sokanon inquired. "I seem to be having something of a bad day." to Sokanon, that was something of a major understatement.

"You and everyone else." the younger female answered as Kadian nodded her head in agreement. "I had something of a telepathic experience not that long ago, I imagine it as the same for you too," Paris answered as she stepped forward before she placed the PADD onto Sokanon's desk, the sound was a gentle clap as the hardened plastic landed on the desk. Suddenly the doorbell beeped a second time. "It's open!" Sokanon called out.

The door opened and in came Selgae. "Hey Sokanon, what is going on around here?" she paused. "I was having lunch with Michael and Alexa Emerson..." the elder Caitian female frowned. "Which makes no sense since they are assigned to the Oathsworn these days... That ship is not present at the base," she added, her reddish brown hair looking like an unruly mess.

"I know, I was just there too... and then there was Martin Emerson and Belex Amedi-Emerson. Those two are assigned to the Asgard." Sokanon answered quietly. "I think you and I might have been sharing the same experience. A bar fight broke out, in the middle of lunch and you went to deal with, Mike Emerson went to help you and you covered for him." Sokanon explained, the two Caitians looked alike as one had reddish-brown hair and the other had greyish hair.

"Yeah..." Selgae answered before the Caitian female shook her head. "This makes no sense..." Selgae answered.

"Ladies, I think what happened to all of us, was a psionic event," Paris explained. "I am part psionic thanks to my mother. So I know what they feel like," she explained evenly. "For me, I was in an old style school... or a college... I have no idea where or when it was but it was an interesting place." she paused a second time. "I know how psionic events feel and what they act like on someone's mind." she regarded the two Caitians as she spoke.

Sokanon blinked. "Was this another pineapple event?"

"Pineapple?" Paris raised an eyebrow. "I'm sending there is a story behind that statement.."

"Its what most who were involved call it to prevent Lieutenant Commander Nalla Furban from being booted out of Starfleet and institutionalized for being unable to control her abilities, which honestly, she can't as she has various mental handicaps," Sokanon explained. "She has a case of PDD-NOS."

Paris nodded. "Ahh, so she's a high case then?"

"Yes. She is exceptionally intelligent but her mind betrayed her by confining it in a prison of her own making."

Selgae paused. "I have no idea of what you two are talking about, a little help please?" the tall Caitian inquired.

Paris turned to the red-maned Caitian female. "PDD-NOS stands for Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified. From what you tell me, Doctor, Nalla belongs to the high functioning subgroup, that's about twenty-five percent of them all." she paused. "She would have whose symptoms largely overlap with that of Asperger syndrome, but who differ in terms of having a lag in language development and/or mild cognitive impairment." Paris paused a moment as she explained. "The criteria for Asperger syndrome excludes a speech delay or a cognitive impairment. Though that does vary in case to case though."

Sokanon nodded in agreement. "Nalla had almost weaponized telepathy. If you touched her, it could act of as psionic flashbang. Or you could want to mate with her or anyone else within range."

Paris nodded. "That explains that. But Lieutenant Commander Nalla...Whatshername isn't assigned here otherwise I'd know of it." the younger female explained as clearly she has forgotten that Nalla's last name was Furban.

"So who could send out a psionic wave like that?" Selgae inquired as she looked at Paris, who ran her fingers down her jawline as if in thought. "We would need an extremely strong telepath for this, Elizabeth Yamaguchi-Solusar could do it." she paused. "Torilla Yamaguchi could do it too, same with Plataea Lasky. Apparently, those two are twins." she paused. "I suspect that some will want to look into matters."

"Okay..." Selgae answered. "Well, I'd best head on back," she commented before she turned and departed after making her farewells.

Sokanon regarded Paris. "What do you think?"

"I think we had a pineapple incident except with no sex," Sokanon answered. "Which was nice this time, no pregnancies for me which I'm very happy about."

"That would make two of us Doctor," Paris answered. "I'm definitely not ready for kids as I'm still trying to sort things out with my boyfriend, assuming he and I are even still dating. Which we might not be." the young human-looking female answered. "I'd best go track him down and see if I can make amends with him." and with that, Paris departed in silence, leaving Sokanon alone.
