Alysiana smiled coyly over at Rezacks as she walked over to his side of the table, never even looking at the new people in the room. Once on the other side of the room, facing them, she looked them over slowly, finally resting her gaze on Trip. Her breath caught in her throat. She had sensed him moments before she had entered the room, but she had believed it to be because of her recent dream when he left so abruptly. He was a dream, yet sitting in front of her, staring at her as if she was a ghost.or a dream.

"Aly? What is the matter?" Rezacks asked conserened.

She pulled her attention away from Trip and looked over to her employer. "Nothing."

She's real.

Alysiana looked over at Trip again, shocked that she had just heard his voice in her head. She couldn't read minds, she never could. She wasn't that skilled of a telepath.

She knows me, I can just feel it.

Alysiana looked back to Rezacks. "On second thought, I'm really feeling terrible. I think I'm going to."

I can't let her leave.

"I need to leave." She nervously headed for the side door that Rezacks had come from. Once she was out of the room she took a deep breath but she still had an overwhelming feeling of surprise and.and what?

"Love." She whispered.

But these weren't her feelings, she knew they were his. She had never been able to read thoughts even if the subject was really close. And she could defiantly never read emotions when the subject was in a different room. Something was going on, and the only person she could think to talk about this to was only a room away.

"It was her." Trip said pacing behind the rest of the away team. Rezacks had excused himself to find Alysiana leaving them alone. The second he had left, Trip had exclaimed that his negotiator was her, his dream girl.

"They can't be the same person. The woman in your dream was a figment of your imagination. That was a real woman." Archer said trying to calm down his chief engener.

"Capt'n, it was her. I've seen her almost every night for the past 16 years. I know her face pretty well." Trip said plopping down into his seat.

"She did stare at him for a while, like she knew him." Hoshi said, defending Trip.

"She did, didn't she?" Trip smiled. "She knows me."

"I'm so sorry." Rezacks said reentering the room. "Could I ask the favor of continuing this meeting tomorrow, when Aly is feeling better. I simply can not do this without her."

"No problem. We need to do some thinking as well." Archer stood up, saw that Trip was about to ask something, and silenced him with a gesture. "Thank you."

He led the way out of the room and turned to Trip once they were out side again. "How about you come back down here tonight, do a little site seeing."

Trip knew that Archer was giving him an opportunity to find Alysiana on the planet, and he was thankful. "That sounds like a good idea."

He needed to find her and he when he did there was a lot of explaining that needed to be done.
