Well, That Was Weird

 It had begun during an away mission. The away team was in trouble, they were surrounded, ambushed by the planet's inhabitants, and suddenly.... they weren't. At least half a dozen warriors brandishing spears and bows and arrows were closing in on them. Kirk had closed his eyes, shielding Ensign Zahra with his body as he screamed at the Enterprise to beam them up, dammit, when suddenly.... everything went quiet. The warriors had disappeared. The team hadn't had a chance to explore their surroundings, as Scotty came through for them at that moment and they were beamed up to safety. 

They had all written it off as excellent timing, which it was, but it had stuck with the Captain. He knew that a transport beam wouldn't shield them from projectiles immediately. It would be beamed with them. No enemy weapons came through with them, so that meant no enemy weapons had been flying at them in the moment. He knew that somehow, their enemies had all disappeared. And he couldn't figure out how.

He hadn't even mentioned it to Bones or Spock, the two people he trusted the most, for fear of them declaring him unfit for duty. He'd tell them later, when they were back out in the black, not parked at a space station where Starfleet could conveniently put him on desk duty until the mystery was fully explained.

After the Barn had been destroyed, Audrey's life had changed. She no longer went away, only to return twenty-seven years later. She remembered who she was, and found out she was immortal. It was strange at first, and heartbreaking as she watched her friends grow old and die. Audrey never forgot what she was there for, and continued to help the Troubled.

She wasn't really sure why she had joined Starfleet. It provided her with something new to do, and she knew there was the possibility that some of the officers had the Troubles since they never showed up on medical tests. So she went to the academy for several years, and finally graduated as a psychiatrist, with the rank of Lieutenant, and was assigned to the Enterprise

She had heard about the close call all of them had on the planet and since it was her dury to make sure the crew was of sound mind, she sought the Captain out once they'd arrived at the space station.

"Captain? May I have a word?" she asked when she finally found him.

"I'm immortal, which is in my file somewhere, and I've been given the job of helping the Troubled. Or, people with abilities," Audrey says, knowing she'll need to explain what she means. It's not easy explaining it to someone whose never heard of them before. "Abilities... extraordinary skills that others don't have. Mine is being immune to other people's abilities. For example, if someone had the ability to put people to sleep by just thinking it, they wouldn't be able to do it to me. Troubles tend to activate when someone is under a lot of stress, which you were on that mission, which is why you were able to transport everyone out of there."
