[T'Pol is angry. She's hiding it pretty well, but anyone close to her can recognize the hard lines in her face. She's pretty much had it with the way things are structured, and that on top of pretty much feeling Trip dying is enough for a brisk little Vulcan rant.]

The hierarchy on this ship is extremely simple: there are wardens, and there are inmates. Wardens bestow privileges on their inmates if they are deserving, and remove them if they are not. This has worked in the past, as far as pairings are concerned, but it is no way for a ship to be run. We are regularly at the Admiral's mercy, but this was not his doing; it was something that could have been avoided. We need a command structure beyond warden, inmate, and Admiral. Had there been a captain to turn to, or a security force, steps could have been taken at the first sign of trouble.

In knowing there are people to turn to during times of crisis, we would avoid panic, and paranoia, and the need to protect those close to us while ignoring the other occupants of this ship.

I highly doubt this would have happened if we had a structured chain of command. Perhaps we should reinstate the security detail. [And click. She is not pleased, Barge.]

[Private to Slade]

Have you slept?

[Private to Kirk]

Are you recovered?

It was painful. Muted, but present. [She felt him get his ass stabbed. :c] Then for a short time...yes. Nothing.

[Narvin got decapitated. Also not fun while you're trying to get food and drop your tray.] It'll go both ways. Did you warn him about it? 'Cause... for humans, its a lot harder than unpleasant. That damned emotional stability slips right out of our grasp sometimes.

We haven't discussed it at length. [...Whoops. She should. Do that, shouldn't she. It would help if Vulcans weren't so stuffy in her time, she knows next to nothing about it.]

I hate talkin' about personal stuff. I always feel uncomfortable as hell trying to find a way to approach it.

Usually... it helps if we discuss it practically. Such as uh... I used testing out a motion sensor to get Narvin to spend some personal time with me, and he moved in when it turned cold outside. That helps. [Thankfully, he's a stuffy MiB with a stuffy Time Lord. Efficiency is wonderful pretend romance.]

[And now the idea of moving in with Trip is planted in her head, hmm.] do you know much, about the link you share with Narvin?

I know... I probably latch onto it more than most humans would because I know it's there. It happened to me before, but in a way I didn't want. I had an uninvited guest in my head but [he didn't find it all that unpleasant.] with Narvin it's more trustworthy. Time Lords don't have many relationships outside of their species, so I don't think even Narvin knows much about it.

I just know sometime I can tell he's not alright even when through all other appearances he should be. I know he cares without him having to say it. And I know when he's cracking.

Is it a common occurrence between Time Lords? [She wonders just how like Vulcans they are. Maybe they don't talk about it at all, either. T'Pol can't really give voice to much more than questions right now; talking about feelings is hard.] Is Narvin well, now?

The collective link is something they're just used to. They don't discuss it much and I've not found out that much about it since I talked to you. I do know sometimes I feel the uh... I guess it's the "edge" of something that happens to him. Phyisical discomfort if he's hurt. That sort of thing.

He's guilty, for what he did. When he was nanomited he broke my hand and my communicator in it. Moreso now that I had to go through a Klingon. [He sighs.] I think he's talking with Rex, too. But I can't put most people on the job.

I see. Vulcans rarely discuss it as well. [An that's the most she's admitting to, cause damn this is uncomfortable to talk about.]

Do you know what they're discussing?
