(ooc: sorry-lost this one in the post-vaca
shuffle)
(OOC: No probs. I just put it up to you settling back in after
the vacation ... =)!)
>He took K'Tael's hand in a desperate move and placed

"Sir, I understand that you need the information that Mr. K'Tael has but I am >not sure that a mind meld is an option at
this time. It would be ethically questionable
since he cannot >provide his concent for it and it could endanger his health."
>"The changes you are seeing on the monitor may

is not directly related to

sign."
"With all due respect, Doctor, I have a strong
hunch he's responding to me...I need that response. I need the information." Not
noticed by himself, his hand began shaking again from the stress.
T'Mel made her way over to the Captain. She had no doubt
that he in fact saw evidence, but she wondered how much of his response was due
to some sort of need to have K'Tael back. It seemed like more than a need
to know that a compatriot was ok. It seemed like something more
personal.
The Vulcan doctor took a seat and studied the lawyer for a
moment. "It is a good sign that the Commander seems to be reacting to your
presence. It indicates that his mind is functioning. It is important
that we not get our hopes up too quickly. Brain injuries are still a
mystery to us." There was a surprising amount of empathy in the doctor's
comments as she spoke.
