Mission: Family Detention
Location: Deck 8, Crew Quarters
Timeline: 2396

Even in sleep, true rest had been elusive for the Miradonian known as Mona Gonadie. it had been three nights since the kidnapping and she wasn’t handling it well. She had returned to the ship in tears and told the Captain everything that had happened. And after talking, the Captain allowed her a leave of absence from her duties. And while she was still not allowed back on duty, she would at least be allowed to witness the next round of interrogations once Commander Paris was back aboard today. She, the Miradonian second for Baroness Marelith, and the computer would be acting as lie detectors for those involved in the planning of the trip as well as those that had the knowledge of where the family would be.

However, it would likely be the gut feelings of the Hera's second officer that would come through in the end as Mona's emotions were compromised and the computer was unreliable in reading Tal Shiar agents, if there was one hidden among those being interrogated. Especially if there were more than one and they all had practiced their stories.

But that would be later and for now, Mona was tossing and turning in bed, tortured by dreams of her love calling out to her, but she couldn't quite make out the words. They began that first, awful night alone. Like the memory of a voice in the darkness calling out. Heard but unheard, but nothing to make her think that it anything more than just a bad dream. Bad dreams were, of course, more than understandable under the circumstances.

But on the second night, it felt just a bit stronger. It felt… somehow more real, even though Mona knew that it couldn’t be possible. Miradonian’s mate for life and bond with their mates, and Mnhei’sahe Dox was her bond-mate. But her Minay was also Romulan and had a stronger than normal affinity for psionic ability. And that had enabled them to develop a uniquely strong bond. Strong even by the standards of Miradonian couples that had been bonded for decades. They could not only feel each other's emotions, but they could share dreams and now, even communicate telepathically. But all of this was dependent on them physically touching and her Minay was now light-years away. But Mona was also pregnant with their children. Three of them, of both Miradonian and Romulan blood. All of them developing those same gifts within her, and her own sensitivity seemed heightened as a result.

When her Minay had traveled back in time, Mona could feel her leave this universe. And when she returned to the proper time, Mona could feel that as well, even separated by light-years. When Dox returned to the ship injured, Mona had felt that and rushed to sickbay to meet her. She had felt her love without them touching. And in her mind, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was feeling her right now in her dreams. She couldn’t help but wonder if her beloved Minay was trying to send her a message.

She just knew the message, if that’s what it truly was, was important and she could almost make it out, and it seemed to be getting a bit clearer... But other than the distinct feeling that they were walking into a trap, she couldn't actually tell what her Minay was trying to say. It was as if she was screaming the words from across a vast expanse.

It had been like this every night, and if there was any truth to her feelings, then she would have to tell the Captain and Commander. They would know what to do.

But until then, all she could do was try and sleep. And in that sleep, try and reach back and pray to the Moon Goddess that had blessed their union, that she would find her Minay.
