Hey people. A new record, for me at least. So here's the next chapter. Just
in case you haven't been told yet, or you haven't guessed, I have no clue
where this is going. So no, I don't know when it's gonna end, nor do I know
HOW it's gonna end. I'm personally shooting for a happy ending but hey. If
no one reviews, we'll never know, now will we? Enough of that.
I never thought I would have to say this to anyone. In one of my other stories, I got a bad review. One that said I suck and I should stop writing. The only reason I'm telling you is that I do not appreciate these reviews and I ask that if you hate my writing, please tell me constructively. By the way, if someone could tell me what a Mary Sue story is, it would help. I'm totally clueless sometimes. So, here we go, on with the story.
(PS, thanks to everyone who has reviewed!)

" Okay Alex." Hoshi stared as the young woman walked off like she was about to be hung. ***
" Okay. Here goes." Alex launched into the long and complicated tale of how Malcolm was able to see her memories and speak a language he'd never been taught.
" So you gave him some potion (A/N Couldn't think of a better word) that would change him into a Jenobian just so he could see some stupid ritual?" Jon was outraged. And judging by the looks on Trip and Hoshi's faces, so were they.
" It was my choice sir. You can't get mad at her." Malcolm quickly stood to the defense of the now trembling girl.
" How could you be so stupid Malcolm? Ingesting a foreign substance! How could you be such an idiot?" Hoshi practically screamed.
" It d-d-did-didn't k-k-kill m-me sir." Alex stuttered.
" What do you mean?" T'Pol was once more the voice of reason for the group.
" I wa-wasn't born Jenobian. They found me on an abandoned ship. I was different from the original inhabitants. I was about eight. All I really remember was a dark room and then these tall people coming in and helping my and two of my friends."
" Interesting. What else about this serum? Is it reversible?" Hoshi was trying to calm down.
" No. One of my friends found out and killed herself. She couldn't handle the telepathy. She wanted to be normal again."
" Why did they give you the serum?" Everyone got a question.
" It was a choice. They couldn't take gotamu's on board their ship. They offered it as a purifying ritual so that they could help us. Not everyone understood that it was permanent."
//It's okay tosaru. It's okay.// Malcolm could hear the turmoil going through Alex's mind.
" I'm sorry. I should have told Malcolm about the after effects. I wasn't even thinking about it. I've grown so used to having them. For me, I wasn't alone once the serum worked. Then everyone was gone. I should have thought about it."
" Why'd you let him onto the ship? And what does 'gotamu' mean?"
" Gotamu means soiled, or close enough anyway. You had already come aboard along with the fact that everyone I cared about was already dead."
" So to recap. You are Jenobian, and so is Malcolm. Malcolm can speak mind to mind with you. According to your reports, the poison that killed your family doesn't effect those who have been changed. And that the substance the two of you took altered your genetic and chemical make-up turning you into another species and giving you telepathy. Is that about it?" Jon looked at the girl.
