The Carina Conflict

[Zapp]

Life as humans know it is something they take for granted. They feel, see, smell, taste, can physically sense things. Ask any person who could at one time see yet lost that ability, and they will tell just how much they had taken it as just another sense, just another part of being human.

Imagine being born blind, deaf and dumb. Being nothing but a shell with an inbred soul, totally self-reliant because there was no perception of the outside world. At least, as far as other humans could tell. But connections would be made, because the brain would find a way. It always does.

Take the blind man, for example. The brain feels the loss, but compensates by strengthening another sense, such as hearing. When all senses are denied, the brain creates its own sense. Some refer to it as a sort of sixth sense, but it is nothing as grand as they make out. It is simply the brains way of trying to connect with the world, by any means necessary.

How much more so would she try to connect? Carina does not perceive things the way they do, does not see or hear or touch, but rather intuitively feels them out, using cold logic to reason out what she feels.

Logic and emotion traditionally dont mix well.
