The Rogue Officer

[Deneth Aleski]

While Rockwell and Goodmen were discussing about the current situation, Aleski sat silent, staring emptily at the plate in front of him, poking and moving the food around. The vision he had seen earlier was replaying in his mind, with stunning detail and accuracy. With every loop, the young Ensign would attempt to break down and analyze elements that may have had significant meaning, but the effort at rationalization ended up in futility.

"your task is before you... gather them, and heed the call"... Task... what task? That I'm supposed to gather "something", but what? Also, what call? Maybe someone who means a lot to me is in distress..."

Deneth felt like asking the other two about the vision he had seen. He briefly stopped jerking the food around in his plate, but still staring at it intently. It seemed as if he was gathering the strength to accomplish something.

"No... This is absurd. I was simply tired. When we get to our main task, my focus will be back. Damned imagination."
