I don't believe this. I've heard of people blurting out their own thoughts. I've even done it at ill advised times. But never before in my life has anyone blurted out my thoughts. Silly me, I thought there was a code of conduct on Betazed regarding blabbing people's thoughts all over the place. One minute I'm the maid of honor at her wedding and the next the councilor decides it's in everyone's best interests if she spouts off my having a crush on the captain.

There. I admitted it. I have a crush on Captain Lee of the USS Freedom. I can't act on it, I'm an inspector after all, but I still expect to maintain the dignity of my own thoughts. Perhaps a Ferengi inspector would have been more suited to the job. Or maybe a Medusan. Try to mind read one of them bitch. Alright, alright. I need to calm down. She'd just given birth and gotten married in the same day. She was probably full of hormones and adrenaline. Dammit, and I was even pushing for her promotion too! As for Mister Tempres, I've given up on him. Anyone who thinks a veiled death threat is the height of comedy deserves whatever is coming his way when my report hits the desk of the admiralty.

Well, I'm all moved into my new digs, at least until I get my own apartment back. It isn't much, it's a cargo container actually. I'd intended to just spend the night in the intact holodeck but that was full of engineers running simulations trying to understand better the effects of the temporal warp which accelerated the ship's decay and the aging of many of the crew. Most notably, Commander t'Resan is now very pregnant with a litter of no less than five cubs. Well, I've slept in worse places. Fortunately, the cargo bay with most of the emergency supplies was untouched by the warp and with the repairs going on and the replicators mostly down it was not a problem finding an empty container and furnishing it with blankets. I do admit I'd been better treated even on that vile Orion slave barge. It's jobs like this that make me wonder if they'd take me back...

Oh Goddess I'm so lonely. I miss you mom.
