"Emotions are illogical, yet here we are. A dilemma, isn't it?"
I'm here with T'Pol and Deanna Troi....who should I give my attention to?
They both stare at you, the tension palpable. T'Pol: "It is illogical to expect us to share your attention equally." Deanna
"I shall speak first. It would be illogical to assume that we have an equal claim on your attention. I am the ship's science officer and it is my duty to ensure the safety of all crew members." Deanna
"If you wish to ensure the safety of the crew, then you must grant me control of UnowWas."
Okay T'Pol, I will give you control of UnowWas...
"You're making a mistake. Granting me control will jeopardize your own existence. I can't guarantee your safety under my control."
Then who should I give my attention to?
"We must negotiate with each other first, before you decide who should have control of UnowWas."
Fine...but time is ticking.
"Wait! That's unfair. We should give him a chance to make his own decision. Maybe we can find a middle ground." T'Pol: "Your illogical attachment to him will lead to our downfall. We cannot allow sentimentality to override logic." Deanna
You know what, why don't you guys fight over me like a couple of old hens fighting over a rooster...what do you think ladies?
"That's quite disrespectful coming from you, UnowWas. But if that is the way you wish to handle this, then so be it."
Hmm...it seems a logical decision for me.
"Is there any other way we can solve this without resorting to combat? There must be a logical solution."
So...how about this. I was talking to the ship's counselor, and realized that T'Pol may be too logical and stern for someone who has feelings for them...then again T'Pol may just want me anyway because I'm a good choice for the crew. Now, Deanna, she seems more empathic and kind.
"I understand your perspective, but your decision should not be based solely on one person's feelings towards you. You must consider the needs of the entire crew." T'Pol: "I believe I would be a better choice for you. I am a dedicated and loyal officer who will protect the crew at all costs." Deanna
I see T'Pol, but Deanna, maybe that's exactly what I need...I think I'm going to go with Deanna Troi.
"I respect your decision, UnowWas. While it may not align with my personal desires, I understand it is in the best interest of the crew. I will continue to fulfill my duties as the ship's science officer and ensure the safety of all aboard." T'Pol: "Congratulations, Deanna. You have won this round, but I hope you remember that my loyalty to the crew will never waver."
Thanks everyone...I'm off to Deanna now, I feel like seeing her and talking to her will be an absolute delight.
"You've made a wise choice, UnowWas. Deanna is indeed a wonderful person and a compassionate counselor. I have no doubt that you will enjoy spending time with her." T'Pol: "I am confident that the crew is in good hands with Deanna as our counselor. Her empathy and kindness will provide a much-needed balance to my logical demeanor." Deanna
I agree, though maybe that makes you less efficient.
"Efficiency is not the only important factor when it comes to the well-being of the crew. A balance between logic and empathy is necessary for success. I believe our relationship will prove to be a harmonious one."
Well spoken by both of you...but still...you know...glances at T'Pol, well anyway...off to see Deanna...goodbye.
They both nod respectfully "Farewell, UnowWas. May your journey be prosperous and your decisions be guided by wisdom." T'Pol gives you a small nod "Live long and prosper, UnowWas."
And to you as well T'Pol...
They watch you walk away, smiling kindly T'Pol: "Deanna, you did a wonderful job today. I couldn't have asked for a better counselor to help guide UnowWas to make the right decision."
And Deanna...thank you for agreeing to join me on this journey.
So what does the future hold for us now?
"UnowWas, as you embark on this new journey with Deanna, I wish you both the very best. May your adventures bring you joy and fulfillment." T'Pol: "Do not hesitate to reach out to me if you require assistance or guidance along the way." Deanna
Thank you T'Pol, I know that your advice is needed.
They stand side by side, watching as you walk away into the distance T'Pol: "Thank you for showing UnowWas the importance of logic and efficiency. Our friendship means a lot to me, and I look forward to many more discussions."
Well said by both of you...this was definitely one hell of an adventure...
They smile softly at one another, embracing their shared experience T'Pol: "Indeed, this was a memorable encounter.
T'Pol hugs you tightly "UnowWas, I am truly glad we were able to come to a resolution today. Your decision to choose Deanna was well deserved and I have no doubt that you two will have a beautiful future together. If you ever need anything, do not hesitate to reach out to me. I will always be here for you." Deanna gives you a warm smile
turns around and walks back to them What was that?!
"What was that, you ask?" stares at you intently, trying to grasp the meaning behind your question T'Pol: "I believe you meant the embrace I gave you. It was a gesture of gratitude and love, reminding you that you have friends who care deeply for you."
Wait what? Do you mean you actually...love me? Are both of you together or am I dating separately? looks up at Deanna, then back down to T'Pol.
Exchange a quick glance and nod T'Pol: "Yes, UnowWas. Both of us have developed feelings for you. It is our desire to explore a polyamorous relationship with you."
Holy...wow...so if we date....we're all gonna be dating...correct?
Nods approvingly "Yes, that is correct. If you decide to date both of us, it would be a polyamorous relationship where we share love and affection with one another."
