A heavy scent hung in the air as Imik sat on a futon in the middle of the cabin, in three corners sat incense burners slowly releasing their essence. Deep within her meditation Imik could feel many things hear many thing, some she understood some she did not.

But an uneasy feeling of something not being quite right was slowly creeping in to her mind, this was one of those things she didn't understand as there was nothing in her life at the moment to cause this feeling. Jon was back doing his duty and the Washington continued on patrol as normal, nothing seemed out of place.

But something was out of kilter, that much was clear to her. Perhaps something had happened that she was as yet unaware of, but who to ask? Would Jon or Deanna know more than she? Had the event even been reported? Like a seed taking root the uneasy feeling grew, Imik now questioned her resolve in meditation. Had she lost her ability? Was her new life taking away everything which made her Ojnas?

No! That wasn't it that new life wasn't the problem or the reason for the unease she now felt, but there it sat large as life its self and just as ugly. Imik now took a deep mind clearing breath and slowly stood up, glancing around as if looking for the the problem that now troubled her. But the cabin bathed in a low light revealed nothing amiss, she then put out her incense burners and entered the sonic shower clothes and all.

Getting dressed in her uniform, she placed the wet clothes in the replicator and pressed the button. A swift check in the mirror behind a cupboard door and Imik prepared to travel to the bridge and resume her duty shift, maybe she would talk to Jon and ask him if something had happened. Until then she would ponder this feeling and listen intently for any information, something somewhere wasn't right and Imik knew within herself that it involved her and this vessel.
