She pulled a tablet from her coat, tapping away at it, apparently interfacing with the computer. Anyone peeking would notice some sort of cipher, an alphabet not easily recognized. She settled it down after a period of contemplation, looking directly at Nicole. "There is an option I see here, one that the higherups might not... approve of, so much. Skinter, if you feel the urge to take this to a military tribunal, I would point out that section seventeen of the Common Conduct states that if there is consent in psionic affairs, it is legal. "Doctor, you need therapy, one way or the other, and I'm just not convinced you're going get a good one here on the Kestrel. There is, however, some more experimental processes we could use. I am aware of something that was being tested on Earth before we left, with war veterans; psionic dampening of the depressive memories. Slugs had always proved a faulty interface with the human mind, but as it happens, we seem to have a psionic human aboard. "Letting a novice at your brain may seem problematic, but unless she pushes too hard, not going to cause any proper damage. I'll discuss the process with Landes, and if she agrees to it, and you agree to it, then we will attempt the operation. If it succeeds you may remain aboard, and probably be slightly saner. If it doesn't, well, it's a marginal chance of brain damage, probably would just be temporary amnesia." IC [Dorian] By now, Ashley had fallen into a proper sleep, and soon, her mind became active with her dreams. One materialized in that inky void, Ashley and Dorian finding themselves sitting on the medbay bed opposite of each other, cards in hand. "Oh, well, hi." Dorian seemed absent-minded. "Wasn't exactly how I expected this to work but ok. So, what do you want to talk about? We got all night."

Atton Rand Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) IC: Nicole paused, confused. "You're suggesting we... let a person into my head?" She asked. "Like Ashley?" The idea was certainly something she did not feel comfortable about, but on the other hand the alternative was to go back to a mental hospital. OOC: You know, I've always wondered, where exactly did the word "Psionics" come from? It's not that there's anything wrong with it I've just always found it a curious term to use for this area.

Atton Rand Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 OOCPsionic derives from psychic, to cover all mentally-based powers from telepathy to telekinesis to premonitions and such things. OOC: That... actually makes a bit of sense. Sort of a term for the general study of all things related to mental power? IC: Nicole thought for a moment. On the one hand, the idea of a man being able to enter her mind was hardly a pleasant one, but on the other it would mean someone who could help her through any episodes she may have. Having a person who could actually see into her mind would probably know how to help, and it might make it easier to make amends with those she knew distrusted her, essentially everyone except Vincent.
