Mission: Plaga Navis
Location: SCPO Samantha Summers Quarters
Timeline: Shortly after Meeting in ' You Will Be Assimilated..'

In her quarters, SCPO Summers sat at her desk, writing down a few notes. Her research in hand held phasers was bearing fruit. Her notes contained thoughts and possibilities of ' bumping up ' the power of hand held phasers by 50% without sacrificing size or possible reactions in the mechanism.

As she sat and wrote, Summers 'thought' she heard whispering...."Hello...I'm *back.* " Summers almost jumped out of her seat. " What?....Who's talking?!?" She yelled out. " Oh...you know who.." The voice replied.

Summers shook her head in disbelief. " Nooooo...you *can't* be doing this...* I * know whom I am, and you are *not* me!" The voice continued. " Still trying to be whom you are not, are we? " Summers felt like she was going to cry. " Go away...I have a mission to prepare for!" The voice seemed to sigh. " Some *Romulan* you are....you whine like a frightened Human!"

Summers felt her blood boiling....." I *am* Human....*you* are an figment of my imagination.....you.." The voice laughed..." That's it..get mad.. the more you get mad..the stronger * I * become, and then the more I can come forth to *reclaim* the body you *stole!* "

Summers felt helpless. " What can I do ?!?!? " She asked herself. " Nothing!" Came the reply in her mind. "Say. Didn't you used to have blue eyes?" The voice said. " Summers shook her head. " What do you mean, ' Used to' ? " Summers looked closely in her mirror at her eyes...now jet black....

" Perhaps we can work on the 'brows' at a later time, ' sweetie.' " The voice laughed. Summers buried her head in her arms and cried.
" Oh by the way, before I go...does 'you know who' know you used him as an model for a 'neighbor' in your holodeck 'adventure? ' "

Silence returned. Summers looked up and back at her reflection. " I could kill her..." She said out loud.
