<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap;">“Pa’Nar syndrome.” She hadn’t even heard of it before. But her initial research showed it to be an ancient disease, that only spread and killed like a plague if left to its own devices.
It was a secret buried so deep in Vulcan literature that there was no direct information source or treatment in open records. All she knew was that she was going to die.

<div>Looking at her shaking hand she knew one other thing. This disease was not just a curse on the inflicted, but also on their family. There was shame associated with it. An unbearable shame that the few records she read showed destroyed the families.
Why had this happened to her. It wasn’t her fault. She’d been attacked. Now a victim yet again. Her mother’s words ringing inner ears. </div>

<div>“If only she would just go away.”</div>

<div>And the darkness returned.</div>

<div>From the darkness there came another sound. It wasn’t a voice. It was something musical and full of light, but also full of sadness. A high pitched melodious sound, much like a … flute. Suddenly she could feel warmth and belonging. There was a call
to her, a longing from the other side of a void. And for some reason T’Mur felt herself drawn to it. She wanted to go to it, but she could not move. The more she struggled the more she was held to her place. She struggled until the futility became obvious.
All she could do is breath and wait. And so she did.</div>
