I had another blackout incident......
I wanted to meet with Darby so I sent him a message to meet me for dinner. While waiting for him (yes, I arrived 30 minutes early so not to miss him) a waitress had hit me in the head with her tray... I can sort of remember what happened next, but it's still a little foggy. Darby did arrive, but I didn't recognize him anymore than LtJG Fisher and I couldn't remember much... I left the dining area and found myself in my quarters. I know things that D'Kar knows (his family, engineering, et) and things that I, Carol, know. It seems that the counselor was right... Lt D'Kar's traits, personality, etc has been transferred to me when we were transported.
Capt Forest briefed us on a new mission, which would take us back to where Kon, Decius, D'Kar, and I had gone. After the Captain had mentioned that I may be on the away team, I recommended that its not logical that I be on the away team, as I may be recognized and put the mission and others in jeopardy. The Captain seemed taken aback with this recommendation. I found out later that it wasn't the recommendation, but my use of vocabulary that confused him. It seems that he thought I had "switched" to D'Kar's personality. Later, Commander Albright removed me from duty until a personality transference could be completed. I didn't make matters any better as I left the meeting with Commander Albright at that time, returning to the helm on the bridge. Commander Albright had me escorted to the brig. I was placed in the bridge for insubordination. I requested the counselor's prescence and she arrived. She spoke to me slightly and then spoke to Commander Albright and LtCmdr Pren. Finally, I was released, however I was not returned to duty. My questions regarding the transference were not answered as well.
Capt Forest visited me in my quarters. He agreed with removing me from active duty, citing concerns for the Yorktown and crew. If I were to switch personalities during my duty at the helm, it would put the crew at risk. He did ask me to report to the bridge during red alert status to assist the helm.
While the away team was gone, I assisted on the bridge as requested. I found this quite difficult, as I feel that my ability is in question. I am also concerned about this personality transference. What if something goes wrong and my ability to pilot is lost? However, I also have to think about D'Kar. I'm quite sure this is not how he wanted to live... but his abilities could help Starfleet even more, making me more well rounded for Starfleet matters. I wonder what his father would want done? Perhaps that is who should have the decision... Although I'm not sure I'd abide by it. I am still concerned that I would be effected negatively.
All this has happened, and I haven't had time to try to explain it to Darby. I'm quite sure he has given up on me, but I have to hold out hope.
Lt D'Kar Personal Log 1
For some reason I found myself on the floor of a holodeck, covered with some type of alcoholic beverage. Not that I'm opposed to drinking, but what am I doing in a holodeck of a bar on the station, when I'm sure there is work to be done on the ship? I left the holodeck and saw LtCmdr Pren. She was sitting with an officer. She seemed to want me to stay, why I do not know. I excused myself from the station so that I could get back to engineering on the ship. For some reason, Cmdr Gav acted a little odd when I told him that I was reporting for duty, but he assigned me duties, muttering something about needing extra hands. Am I just an "extra pair of hands?" Lt. Km'tar watched me quite closely. Perhaps I was not being detailed enough in my repair tasks. I will have to work harder.
A little while later, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and found my mother standing beside me. I was rather shocked, since she has been dead for some time now. I spoke to Cmdr Gav about this. It seems that his father had shown up too. This is quite odd. Mother made small talk as I continued my work. The Challenger went under a Red Alert and Cmdr Gav looked at me oddly and asked why I wasn't on the bridge, due to the red alert status. I wasn't not sure why I would report there and told him that I should finish what I had started. I again asked about my mother's presence. Cmdr Gav requested a security team. My mother was taken to a cargo bay with others that had awoken from being dead and I was taken to the brig. I am quite disturbed by this action. I have not been to the brig before, and I do not see the reason for it.
As I sat in the brig, pondering possible reasons, I noticed that I was wearing a command shirt, although I do not know why. I noticed some physical changes too... I am not sure what it is going on! To make matters worse, I did not have any tools with me and a loose plate in the brig was bothering me.
After some time, I was transported to the bridge. The Ship's Counselor asked me a few questions, mentioning LtCmdr Harriman's name and then spoke to Captain Forrest. Afterwards, I saw her fist come quickly towards my face and smack me in the nose!

LtCmdr Harriman Personal Log 1
After repairing the helm on the Valiant and with permission for leave, I went to Guynan's Place for her "Grand Opening." I saw Azala (and the Captain from the Valiant) there. We chatted for a bit, but I felt like a third wheel so I took my drink and tried out the holodeck programs. After a while I got up to change programs for something more challenging and lost my balance, to what I have no idea since I had only had a few sips of my drink.............Next thing I know, I'm waking up on the floor of the bridge and having to stop my nose from bleeding! I'm not sure how long I was out, if I was knocked out, or what happened inbetween, but I'm a little worried about, since I can't remember anything. I don't think I was drunk...I don't remember drinking that much last night! I also flew well, no ill effects of any alcohol that I may have drunk. No headaches, nothing!
As I was stopping my nose from bleeding, I noticed some of the crew smiling at the counselor...one member even giving a thumb's up to her after nodding to me. What is that about???
We finished our mission and after my shift, I went to get cleaned up and changed my clothes. As I did, I noticed that my hands had some dirt and grease on it. Where this came from, I have NO idea. This leads me to thinking that something is definately wrong....does this mean the counselor was right about D'Kar and me???
