H'Esh etek vi-esh-torong sa'le-esh-tor quel sochya. Ha kashek svi'ma kae quel sochya. Ma ak'shem, ma sikrus quel sochya. Ma katra, ma ves quel sochya.
The breath we draw in and release is peace. The thoughts in our minds are peace. Our body, our limbs are peace. Our spirit, our essence is peace.

I have found that meditation has been a great help in handling the visions and dreams that have become common lately. It is unnatural for Vulcans to dream after meditating; that has not stopped whatever is causing these particular visitations, but it has made them bearable. It is my theory that such mental focus would aid others who find themselves unsettled by this. If I may be helpful in some way in this regard, I can be found on level six, room eight.

My apologies for our lack of interaction. [A short pause] If you are having difficulties, I will do what I can to help.

At first, it was only nightmares, then shadows and indistinct figures at the edges of our vision...and now we see them plainly.

As I've said, it's escalating. Unless someone finds the cause and puts a stop to it, I think we can expect it to only get worse.

A logical conclusion.

I don't believe you answered when I asked if you were capable of occlumancy here.

Against these invasive hallucinations, no - which suggests to me that it may not be entirely mental.

I have yet to try it against other people.

Agreed. It began as mental projections, I believe, but is now evolving.

I do not wish, however, to add another veritable stick to the fire by having your abilities restored.

It is the only way I know to defend myself.

There are other options. Rather than reacting based on instinct, consider the logical approaches. Cover or remove your mirror until this is over. Be careful in the contact you make with others, and mindful that, for now, these projections are not real. The first instinct need not be for violence.

You think I left my mirror uncovered after that?

I want defense, not offense.

Are there defensive spells that could be returned to you?

...Some.

Such as?

Cave Inimicum, which warns of an approaching enemy.

Colloportus, which will allow me to lock my door against any non-magical means.

Depulso, which allows the caster to send a target to an intended location.

Disillusionment, which will allow me camouflage.

Expelliarmus, which is a spell used to disarm an opponent.

Immobulus, which renders a target immobile.

Incarcerous, which binds a target with ropes.

Levicorpus, which holds a target upside down by the legs.

Protego Totalo, which is a shield charm.

Stupefy, which will stun a target.

Supersensory curse, which will allow the castor to have enhanced hearing, eyesight, and so forth.

There are a few others, but I don't believe you'd consider them defensive.

I don't believe stunning is defensive. I will consider them and speak with the admiral.

Very well.
