Description: Counselor Deanna Troi is meditating when Captain Jean-Luc Picard enters. Troi senses something troubling the captain, so he sits with her in silence. After a few moments, Troi senses that the source of the trouble is a secret the captain is keeping. The captain admits that he has concerns about Troi's abilities as counselor, feeling she is too emotional to make sound judgments. Troi responds that being a counselor on the Enterprise is a difficult job, and it takes a toll on her emotionally. She suggests that the captain is worried about her ability to maintain objectivity because he cares about her deeply. The captain denies it, but Troi senses the truth. She decides to show him her capabilities, using her empathic powers to sense the emotions of those around them, a skill that makes her an invaluable member of the crew.
