(Vulcan - Mount Seleya- Temple- CO -  Captain Sekal - 1226)

“It…is good to be…back, Captain Sekal. I…did not realize the weight of my
father. It is as if the sun has come out from behind the clouds and I can
feel it warming my soul after being covered by rain clouds for so long.”

He watched and listened quietly while emotional storms waxed and waned as
she expressed her current relief at being freed from the influence of her
father's katra. How long had his influence over her been maintained? He
could have transferred it to her at any time before his death. Only she
might have some idea and he would not press her for such details.

He regarded Ensign Pex as he moved forward and enfolded her in an embrace
which was something the Captain would not do. It seemed to calm her
somewhat.

“I feel…empty and full at the same time, sir.” She wiped her face.  "I am
free from him…and I can at last rebuild myself as myself…without fear or
worry of someone else being in there. I spent my life building barriers to
emotions as directed by my father…all the time thinking that was the way.
That it was the only way.”

He gave a minute shrug. "Such is the way of Kohlinar. Yet in time one may
find that the mastery of emotions comes not only from suppressing but also
in controlling them."

 “I have much to learn, it seems.”

He nodded. "As do we all Lieutenant."

He turned away to regard the healer who had transferred the katra to the
receptacle, the litter bearers then took it up once again and followed the
attendants to the place where it would be stored. Sekal had eventually seen
one of those chambers beneath the temple .... but that is the subject of
another memory.

Healer T'ral stepped toward them. "Adept Sekal." She inclined her head in
greeting.

"Healer T'ral." He raised his hand in salute. "Peace and long life."

She then addressed T'shalaith.

"Peace and long life to thee, thou art free once again. Thy father has
taken his honored place. Some day in the future perhaps you may make the
journey here again. But until that day comes." She raised her right hand
with fingers parted in a 'V'. "Peace and long life to thee."

(Reply: T'shalaith)

The Captain then tapped his combadge as he stepped away and to the side
with the others following in his wake."Transporter control Illuminar party
requests transport to the Nivar Institute Neurological wing."

=^= Understood. Scanning your party and locking in coordinates.=^=

"On your mark, energize."

It only took a few seconds for the rising hum of the carrier wave and they
began dissolving into energy patterns to be returned to the medical center.
