Once on board the Sigmar Siban walked on the bridge
"Helm set in a course for Earth Space Dock." ordered Kimball
"Aye Commander" said Brinks
Nivek left his post and his replacement took the tactical station and began to enter command codes to take over for the shift.
"Commander you have the bridge" said Siban
Siban got up out of the commanding officer chair and Kimball took over. Siban left the bridge and went to his quarters.
"Nivek you going to be okay?" asked Siban
"Yes sir, It was just a bit difficult being back on Vulcan sir after all that has happened the last time I was there"
"Perhaps you should go see T'Amerly" said Siban
"I think so too sir" said Nivek
Nivek got in the turbo-lift and said "Deck Seven"
The turbo-lift chimed in recognition of the command
The doors slid open and Nivek walked down the corridor to the Counselors office. Nivek pressed the button and the door chimed.
"Enter" came a soft females voice from inside.
"Ah Nivek, what can I do for you Commander" asked T'Amerly with a warm smile on her face.
"Counselor I was wondering if I could talk to you about something" asked Nivek
"Of course, after all it's my job" she said with the smile Nivek had once grown found of.
"Well just being down on Vulcan again brought back some raw emotions, you see the last time I was there was when my mother and father were alive. They were assigned to the Geronimo on a scientific research mission along the Cardassian border when their vessel lost communication with Starfleet. Their ship was deemed lost and the search was called off after a year"
"Let me guess, you're Vulcan genes are telling you to suppress your emotions and your human ones are telling you the opposite" asked T'Amerly
"Precisely" said Nivek
"Listen Nivek you are not the first half Vulcan half Human nor the first one to experience these conflictions. You need to let the emotions take their course. They are apart of who you are and define you from anyone else. I know it's hard loosing someone some close to you and must be harder when you never got to say good-bye but would your mother want you to throw out who you really are over something such as emotions"
"It's difficult cause I got no one out here Counselor"
"You have me" said T'Amerly.
Nivek looked at the Counselor in a bit of confusion then it hit him
"Thank you Counselor" said Nivek a little blushed.
"Listen Commander after my shift lets get some drinks at ten forward. Relax a bit. You had a rough day I'm sure and we won't be reaching Earth till a few hours from now"
"I'd like that Counselor, and thank you for listening"
"Like I said Nivek, it's my job" said T'Amerly with a wink
