Leida had shut up and shut down when confronted by the owner of the body she was in, and told by the Captain to CALM DOWN. If she hadn't, she surely would have cried. She followed Aaron around as he went on doing his duties, but had kept an eye on the Captain, who was currently in HER body. She wanted so badly to be back to normal. Why had this happened? This was so bizarre. She started comparing it to the experiences of the LAST relic she had been around for... The memories of the nightmares made her shutter. Nope, this wasn't so bad, not at all. No more complaining out of her. She looked up when she thought she heard Captain say something about finding the owner of her body, and manages to depart from Aaron to go to her.
"... Captain?" She said, and cleared her throat when her voice sounded so weak. "Captain, I am Leida Aoede. That's, ah, my body you have there."
Dronus, after Aaron was permitted to go, staid silently around the Captain. Straight-backed with his head high, shoulders back, and hands clasped behind him. He fit the authoritative role the Captain had nicely, but, he didn't like being the Captain. He hung around, listening, watching, waiting for the solution to arise, as well as make sure order was maintained. He found himself blinking repeatedly, squinting, trying to see the colors and dimension these limited eyes could not. Ugh, this was enough to give him a headache.
Jin had followed Zixx after she ATTACKED someone in his body, but as far as he saw, no one was being hurt, and his spots were not being broadcast to the world. He had his back to them, still hanging around for supervision, as he tried to piece together in his head who's body he had. Someone in security, obviously. He thought the person he was in was familiar. But, trying to find this familiar person, in a sea of unfamiliar people, who were not themselves? These facts, combined with his new vision, made his head hurt. Ugh.

Still sort of disoriented, Al sought out his body, not entirely sure what he would do once he found it. Nonetheless, he felt incredibly uncomfortable in this one and the sooner he found his own, the sooner he could get back into it.

Captain suddenly looks... so relieved. "Thank the Listeners." she says under her breath. "Hello, dear. Um... I'm... I do need to talk to you." she gestures her a little ways away. "Come please." When out of earshot. "I'm... I can't... I'm having urges. I can control them but... I can't if someone touches me... how do you... um... control that?" she goes a little red in the cheeks, luckily just a light pink compared to the beet red of her normal body. A-hem. Ever seen a Deltan blush?

Leida quickly went with the Captain, glad to be able to talk to her. It felt so strange to be looking at her own face, from the face of another, listening to her voice tell her about her own urges. Leida blinked. The urges, since she was used to them, were so minute, she thought. Apparently not.
"... It comes down to focus," She explained. "Everything Deltans feel is extremely intensified. Deltans, due to exposure, are used to it. However, when the... Urges... Are high," She felt a little uncomfortable explaining this. She hoped the Captain didn't think bad of her. "You have to turn your focus to a different sensory experience. Look for other things in the touch. Feel emotions, names, thoughts of the other. Feel the mind of the other. Also, think about giving your own thoughts-- good ones, non-embarrassing ones--" She added. "You can even try to focus on smells, on sight, on sounds. For me, everything is normal... But, ah, for you, it's an entirely new sensory experience." She smiled a little. She never thought about how amazing that would be to share with someone else; experiencing the universe the way she did.

She shivers a little. "I can imagine this as a double edge sword." she replies softly. "Perhaps it's just best I don't make any contact on... anyone... for awhile. I've already kissed a man." she puts her hand to her face, looking so embarrassed.

"The best way to get over it, Captain, is to get used to it." Leida said, and smiled. "There is no need to be embarrassed. Deltan feelings are very intense for a mind who is not used to them, it is not your fault. If you like, once we get back to the ship, you can use me for practice. Deltans are much more understanding with things of this nature, and I can coach you more. And, maybe while we're at it, we'll figure out how to get out bodies back." She just wants to help you, Captain. You can trust her.

"I'm not sure the owner of your body would appreciate that." she says, going slightly pinker. Oh, god what did you just suggest. ....PFfft. She's likely getting it all wrong.

Lamb had finished his sweep around the room, he was waiting for his staff to send all the information to his PADD but he thought he might as well give what he had to the captain. Lamb broke into a jog, he had been moving faster since he got the new body. He wasn't feeling tired. It felt great. He jogged about until he came across the captain residing in the wrong body. She was talking to someone and.....blushing? That was odd...Lamb cleared his throat. "Captain? It's Lamb. I have a list of everyone who has been switched most of the bodies have been acounted for I am waiting for reports from the rest of my team. But I thought I would show you what I had." Lamb held out the PADD to Flynn.

A very angry Cardassian marched up to the good doctor and tapped his shoulder. "Give me back my body!" She err... he demanded.

Leida-Flynn straightens suddenly and stiffly. She reaches out and takes the PADD from as far from his own flesh as possible. "Thank you... Lamb." she pauses to eye him. He looks rather good as Al, but she can still see his expressions, though it's almost nostalgic in a younger form. "A-hem." she pulls it from him quickly. "Perhaps you should find your own body and ... begin to gain some contact?" Please, don't touch her. Please. She can't... not at this point.
She resists so hard to touch him. It wasn't allowed, it couldn't be allowed. She shakes. Leida likely knew her struggle, as a Deltan with an Oath of Celibacy, she has to resist her own needs everyday. Well-practiced at it, that she hasn't even touched her own boyfriend, Aaron.
...this exact feeling.
Her eyes seem to flash a moment, and she falls to the ground. At the same time, so does Dronus. He wakes up in Leida. Captain finds herself in her own body once more.
-DRONUS IS NOW IN LEIDA.-

Ava was still trying to talk to Rorin to keep him calm. He seemed upset by the fact that someone else looked exactly like him, or his original body anyway. "I wanna go hooooome," he whined, close to crying.
"Rorin, sweetie, it will be okay. The captain and the crew are working very hard to figure it out, okay?" Ava pleaded with him.
"I don't wanna be a kitty anymore," Rorin sobbed. "I wanna be me."
So do I, Ava thought. She REALLY wished she had her powers of empathy right now, but all she could do was try to understand what her son was feeling just by watching and listening. Is this what it was like all the time for humans... ? "Rorin, you're a Caitian. You probably shouldn't call them kitties anymore," she said, feeling a bit exasperated, and realizing that maybe it was time for a small social lesson.
"Cay-shin?" Rorin wondered aloud, looking down at his furry hands.
Ava looked to Maria, hoping for a little support.

Lamb turned to look at the cardassian, "I don't think I have complete control over this McAdie. I don't think we can just jump in and out. Correct me if I am wro-" Lamb's head snapped around to the collapsing Deltan and he rushed over tricorder in hand, "Flynn? Fi? Can you hear me?"

"Captain!" The deltan-turned Clinton exclaimed as she saw her own body drop to the floor, without her in it. She stepped back quickly to allow the doctor room, an expression of concern on her face. She wanted to help, but she didn't know her strength now... Not to mention, she didn't have her pain-relieving abilities, either in case there was pain.
Dronus had been standing off to the side in the Captains body, still near, when he felt suddenly light headed... And, did he just faint?! His last emotion was agitation and confusion as he slipped to the floor in Fiona's body.
The next thing he knew, he was waking up, and looking up at Lamb-turned Al. He could tell right away that he wasn't himself just by the field of vision, but everythinf seemed so vivid, so visually pleasing-- but then he felt such a strong feeling wanting to pull him forward and embrace the man above him, but he jerked away. WHAT IN UZEVEKS NAME.
"AH! Don't touch me!" He exclaimed as he tried to get out of vicinity. These- these uges- h-he couldn't!
"A-ArlithroDronus," he said new name from the lips of his new body, his hands trembling, and looked around in a bit of a panic. These emotions, the feelings, the sensations of everything around him, it was so INTENSE. He was having a hard time coping with it-- and then there was another wave of aching, of wanting. T'Sai. No! He couldn't! This wasn't his body, and chances are, hers wasn't hers, either! "Oh Uzevek, what curse have you placed on me this time?" He groaned, putting his head in his hands.

T'Sai's eyes popped open from going through images after hearing a commotion and the captain's name. She dipped her way through the crowd, noticing Aoede with Al/Lamb and her superior's body on the ground. Something had changed. Moving to Flynn, T'Sai grabbed her hand to help her up. "Are you well or in need of assistance?"
Lieutenant Spooner appeared by the sortof Vulcan and El-Aurian's side, his tricorder ready. "Everything reads normal--elevated heart rate, but nothing too serious." He closed the device a little hard with a flick of his wrist. He felt stronger, a note to exercise more was taken. "Although, we can't tell if there's any neural stress until we're back aboard."

Lamb rolled his eyes, "I am not a moron. Do you think I don't know about Deltan biology. Of course I am not going to touch you." Lamb continued to scan. "He is fine. Other than stress and disorientation which is understandable given the situation. Get a new name badge for him. And where abouts is Captain Flynn if she is not in this body we need to know where she went." Lamb stood up. and closed his equipment.
