Feelings of uneasiness

On the bridge, Shalimar turned to her mom. "Mother, I know I've never asked before...but how did I come to be?"

Caught off guard by the question, Dragon looked at Shalimar, "Wha?"

"How was I hatched? Who is my father--what is my father?"

"Shal, I don't think this is really the time or place--"

"I need to know, mother. I need to know what I am."

"You're my daughter and a dragon," Dragon replied, unsure of what exactly Shalimar was getting at.

"Nissa, can you answer the question?" Shalimar asked, turning to the android.

"It was before my time," Nissa replied. "And Dragon never entered the story into my core mainframe."

"Shal, what's with the questions?" Dragon asked.

Turning so that her back faced her mother, Shalimar replied, "I t...I'm just curious is all."

A sense of something strange

As Shalimar dragged Dragon out of the medical bay, Wynn twitched an ear. She knew something was wrong with Shalimar but couldn't place a finger on it. Looking over at Holly, Wynn asked, "Know what's up with Shals?"

"No," Holly replied. "Nooo idea."

"What about you?" Wynn asked, looking at Lord Avondale.

"Unfortunately I do not know either," Lord Avondale replied.

Walking over to a console, Wynn said, "Nerissa, can you run a diagnostic scan on Shalimar for me? I think there may be something wrong with her."
