STAR TREK- Next Generation

The Thoughts of Others.

SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER.
THESE ARE THE CONTINUING VOYAGES
OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE.
ITS MISSION TO FIND NEW LIFE
AND CIVILIZATIONS, AND TO BOLDLY GO
WHERE NO-ONE HAS GONE BEFORE.




CAPTAINS LOG - Stardate - 4842.3

We are on our way to pick up a new crew member commissioned
by Starfleet to be trained as a Counsellor by our
own Counsellor Deanna Troi.  Not much is known about
young Klarissa-Eloise Starlight except that like
Ensign Crusher she is a child prodigy.  Trained in
medical and security she is bound to be a valuable
crew member.  Counsellor Troi has informed me that
she has known this young Betazoid for many years.
Two Betazoids in the main bridge crew, now this
will be interesting!........................


.......The automatic doorbell beeped.
"Come!" Called Captain Picard from his comfortable
chair.
In walked the bearded Commander Riker.
"Sir, we have arrived at Earth and are ready to
beam aboard our new crew member."
"Thankyou No.1, is Counsellor Troi ready?"
"Deanna is waiting in transporter room three."
"I guess she is looking forward to meeting her young
friend again."..........................


......."Yes Data, I've read the Lt. Commander's
profile.  A Betaziod that fights like a Klingon warrior!
 I'll believe it when I see it!"  huffed Lt. Worf,
trying to concentrate on his station.
"Two Betazoids on the bridge, it's hard enough trying
to hide your emotions from Deanna, But now we'll
have to mind our thoughts as well." said Lt. La Forge...................


.......The first thing Captain Picard noticed when
the blue transporter beam disappeared was the extremely
long curly dark head of hair this young lady had.



"Very Betazoid!" he thought to himself.
"Yes Captain, I am Betazoid, but very Betazoid!
I don't understand?"  spoke the young lady as she
walked towards the Captain.  "Lt. Commander Klarissa-Eliose
Starlight reporting for duty Sir!"
"Welcome to the Enterprise, Lt. Commander Starlight.
 I'd like you to meet my No.1 Commander Riker, and
you already know Counsellor Troi."
"Commander Riker, nice to finally meet you, Deanna
has told me so much about you."
"All good I hope?" he replied giving the young lady
a smile.
"Deanna, it's great to see you again."  the thought
transferred to Deanna.
"I feel the same, its been three years."  then remembering
where she was she spoke.  "I'll show you to your
quarters then we can talk for a while."......................


.......As Captain Picard walked onto the bridge
with Riker, he spoke.  "Well No.1, what do you think
of Starlight?"
"Very young to be so experienced, but also very
lovely"
"Yes, she is at that, just remember that she is
telepathic, so mind your thoughts!"
"Yes Sir."  Riker smiled to himself as he sat down.
 "Ensign Crusher, set course 4632 Mark 8 at Warp
3!"
"Ay Commander, course set and laid in Sir."
"Then Engage Mr.Crusher."  said the Captain  "We've
got a lot of work to do!"
The Enterprise then left Earth's orbit and streaked
out into  the galaxy........................


........After relaxing for a while and trying to
get used to her new surroundings.  Elrissa changed
out of uniform for an informal welcome dinner and
drinks in 10 Forward.  Seeing Deanna's familiar face
helped her relax and not feel so alone.  But she
was used to loneliness because of her whole teenage
years consisting of study and training, and not having
time to meet people her own age.
Elrissa walked into 10 Forward and looked around
for Deanna. But she couldn't see her.
"Klarissa-Eloise, we're over here!"  called Riker.
Elrissa walked over to the table where she saw the
Captain, Commander, a Klingon, an Android, a guy
with a visor and a woman.  Riker introduced them.
 "I'd like you to meet Lt. Worf, Lt. Commander Data,
Lt. Geordi La Forge and Dr. Beverly Crusher.  Deanna
will be here soon, she is still on the bridge."
"Deanna has told me so much about all of you, and
it's great to finally meet you all."
"Take a seat Klarissa-Eloise, What would you like
to drink?"



"Just an orange juice please.  Also please call
me either Elrissa or Riss, my full name is a nuisance
even for me to say."
Deanna arrived and walked over to the table.
"Wesley said to go ahead with dinner and he'll join
us for drinks later.  He wants to get some extra
study done."
"Well, Wesley will have to get his head out of his
study tapes this time.  I'd like him to meet our
new crew member," said the Captain, then to his communicator
button.  "Ensign Crusher, report to 10 Forward on
the double!"..............


......."Yes Captain, I'll be right there." answered
Wesley sitting in his quarters studying.  "This had
better be worth interrupting me."  he said to himself.
Putting his equipment away he changed out of uniform
and made his way to 10 Forward.
Walking into 10 Forward, Wesley walked over to the
Captains usual table, the first thing he noticed
was a girl about his age with long dark hair, wearing
a brightly coloured peasant top and skirt, chatting
away to the Captain.
"Wesley, I'm glad you could pull yourself away from
your study." Picard said "I'd like you to meet Lt.
Commander Klarissa-Eloise Starlight."
"Hi Klarissa-Eloise, pleasure to meet you."
"Please call me either Elrissa or Riss. It's nice
to meet you too!"  Elrissa replied giving Wesley
a smile.
Without understanding why, Wesley returned the smile
and the evening went smoothly.........................


PERSONAL LOG - Klarissa-Eloise Starlight
STARDATE - 4842.3

So far everything in my new job has been fine.
Captain Picard seems very friendly, but very strict.
 Commander Riker is a real honey. Why he gave up
his relationship with Deanna, I don't know,
Lt. Commander Data is definitely a unique being.
Even though he is android it is hard to tell.
Deanna has told me that Lt. Worf is really a softie,
but he puts on the Klingon warrior act so that his
inferiors are afraid of him.  But all his friends
know what he is really like.
Lt. Geordi La Forge is blind but wears a visor to
help him see.  He is so cool and funny.
Dr. Beverly Crusher is a red headed woman who loves
to joke around with the Captain. It's also obvious
to me how she feels about him.  Maybe Deanna can
fill me in about their past.



Then last of all is Beverly's son, Ensign Wesley
Crusher. He is the same age as me.  I don't know
if he knows that we'll be working together.  The
first thought I read from him was.
"Wow, where did Starfleet pick her up from?"  so
hopefully that means we can be friends.



........Walking off the turbolift onto the bridge
Elrissa was greeted by William Riker.
"Lt. Commander Starlight, could you please man the
Security and Defence station until Lt. Worf arrives?"
"Yes Sir."  Elrissa replied and walked over to her
station.
No sooner had she reached her station, a sub-space
communication from Starfleet came through.
"Sir, Starfleet are sending a priority 1 message."
"Thankyou Starlight."  Riker replied, "Bridge to
Captain Picard, we are receiving a priority 1 from
Starfleet."
"Ok No.1!  I'll be right there.  Ask all senior
officers to report to the bridge."....................


........The vision of a middle aged woman appeared
on the viewscreen.  "Greetings Captain Picard."
"Greetings Admiral Smyth." replied Picard.
"Starfleet has just received word of Ferengi activity
in the Neutral Zone.  Unfortunately the Romul

ans
are also involved."
"Activity Admiral? What type of activity?'
"Some reports of actual firing upon each other,
we need the Enterprise to break it up and make the
Ferengi move back to their own territory.  We are
transmitting the co-ordinates."
"Captain, we are receiving." answered Lt. Commander
Data.
"Captain Picard, it is imperative that you reach
the Neutral Zone as soon as possible.  We have had
good relations with the Romulans and we don't need
the Ferengi to ruin it. Admiral Smyth out."
The vision of the Admiral disappeared.
"Ensign Crusher, are the co-ordinates set in?"
"Yes Captain, at warp eight."
"Engage Mr. Crusher!"
Again the Enterprise streaked out across the galaxy
but this time with a mission.......................


........Six hours later the Enterprise reached the
Neutral Zone.
"Mr.Data, scan the sector for vessels." asked Riker.
"Scanning Sir, two vessels in quadrant 218, one
Romulan the other Ferengi.  Both firing upon each
other."



"Mr. Crusher, set course to intercept vessels, Engage!
 Lt. Worf open hailing frequencies."
"Hailing frequencies open Captain."
"Romulan and Ferengi vessels, I am Jean-Luc Picard
on board the Federation Starship Enterprise. I ask
you to cease fire and return to your own territories."
"Incoming communication from the Romulan vessel
Sir, they transmit visually."
"Activate viewscreen Mr. Worf.  Romulan vessel we
transmit visually."
The vision of a male with a long face, pointed ears
and eyebrows appeared.  "Captain Picard, I am Mala,
Captain of the Defender.  Thankyou for your interest
in our situation but we can rid ourselves of the
Ferengi scum without your assistance."
The vision on the viewscreen disappeared....................


......."Counsellor Troi, I am now open to any comments
on what we have just witnessed."
"Well Sir, the Romulans are not finding it easy
to vacate the Ferengi, I sensed panic but also pride
preventing him to ask for help."
"Starlight, have you got any comments or advice
on the situation?"
"Sir, Counsellor Troi is correct in her evaluation,
but I also picked up a thought about joining the
Federation.  I feel that we should assist and encourage
them to join us."
"After the incident with the Borg, the Romulans
have started to assist the Federation.  Mr. Worf,
arm proton torpedoes, aim at Ferengi vessel and standby."
 answered Picard.
"Yes Captain."
"Open hailing frequencies."
"Hailing frequencies open Sir."
"Ferengi vessel, vacate yourself from the Neutral
Zone or state your business."
"Captain, sensors indicate another vessel approaching."
commented Ensign Crusher.
"Report Mr. Crusher!" said Riker.
"Federation Starship sending the ID code of the
U.S.S. Hood."
"Confirmed............Captain!  The Ferengi vessel
is powering up again." said Worf.
"Captain, the Ferengi are leaving!" reported Data..........
..........

CAPTAINS LOG - Stardate - 4842.3

The Ferengi have left the Neutral Zone and we have
followed up on Lt. Commander Starlight's suggestion
of the Romulans joining the Federation. Our presence
in the area caused the Ferengi to leave without any
problems.


  The U.S.S. Hood is also participating in the alliance
talks.  Maybe in the future, one day, the Ferengi
will be willing to join us.  But until then we have
to keep them from causing any more trouble.



........"Wesley, could I talk to you for a few minutes?"
Elrissa asked as she walked into Wesley's quarters.
"Of course Elrissa, what's the problem?"
"No problem, I was asked to talk to you about your
training."
"What about my training?"
"The Captain has asked me to train you in defence
skills.  I was wondering how you would feel about
that?"
"I thought that Worf would be training me!"
"Picard feels that you should work with someone
closer to your age because you have always been around
adults."
Looking at Elrissa with a smile on his face.  "I'm
looking forward to training with you."
"Good." Then heading out of Wesley's quarters Elrissa
turned back to him. "I hope we can be friends Wesley."
"So do I Elrissa!"..........................


PERSONAL LOG - Wesley Crusher
Stardate - 4842.4

On our stopover at Earth, the Enterprise picked
up a new crew member.  Lt. Commander Klarissa-Eliose
Starlight.  That evening Captain Picard interrupted
my study time to meet her.  It was worth it all right!
Elrissa will be working with Deanna, Worf, Mum and
me.  She will be training me in defence skills.
Boy, would I love to know where Starfleet picked
her up from!
I don't know much about her, except that she is
18, Betaziod, fully trained in medical and security
and that she will be trained by Deanna as Counsellor.
Luckily there are a couple of facts about Betazoid
females that I already know, they are telepathic,
but I'm looking forward to learning more.
Everyone seems to like Elrissa.  I saw her walking
to the bridge past a couple of guys. All of them
turned around and actually wolf-whistled her.
But the funny thing is, that she came back and reprimanded
them for their behaviour!
I hope her position on the Enterprise becomes permanent,
it's great to have someone my age to work with and
talk to.


......."Sorry Deanna, Poker's not really my type
of game.  Anyway, I just read their minds and know
what cards they have."  said Elrissa when invited
to a game of poker.
"Well then, how about Beverly you and I go to 10
Forward for a while?"
"Girls night out hey!  I'd like that." answered
Elrissa."The guys won't miss you will they?"
"No, not really, Beverly doesn't play cards and
the guys won't let me play cause I read their emotions
and know if they have a good hand or if they are
bluffing.  I only deal and bank."
"Ok, let's find Beverly!".......................


.................Jean-Luc, Bill, Worf, Geordi, Data
and Wesley were sitting around a small card table
in Commander Riker's quarters as Data dealed for
the eighth round of poker.
"Young Elrissa will be a valuable crew member, don't
you all agree?" asked Jean-Luc.
"Elrissa seemed to know what she was doing today
on the bridge.  She kept calm and did offer sensible
and sound advise." answered Riker.
"I still can't believe her defence training.  Fights
like a Klingon!  She is so tiny, how can she be so
strong?" asked Worf.
"I've asked her to train Wesley in defence skills.
 I don't think Wesley minds that, do you Wes!"
Wesley tried to look away from his superiors as
he answered "No Captain, I don't mind at all."
"Wesley?" said Riker
"Yes Sir?"
"What's the colour of Mars?" chided Bill "I think
Wesley's just discovered a new hobbie Captain.  Should
we tell him a few Betazoid facts or let him find
out himself?"  he said looking at Picard.
"I know that she is telepathic!" said Wesley.
"Let him find out for himself, either Deanna or
Elrissa will tel him in time." answered Picard.
Everyone except Wesley and Data laughed.
"Bill, what does the colour of Mars have in meaning
to Wesley's embarrassment?"  asked Data.
"Never mind Data, we were just teasing Wesley!"
Then they all went back to their game...............



THE END.
