Jazin knelt by Ellies side. He was screaming now. "Ellie!" He said, hand hovering over his commbadge. Tears were in his eyes. "Umbra...had to be."

Ellie gave out a long sigh, suggesting she was very tired. She had heard the voice of her husband. She reached out and grabbed his hand. But she barely had strength to hold it. "Jazin..." She whispered, as she had no energy to speak either. She felt really tired. "He-help me up...to the couch...I need to eat something. I feel dizzy...must me my blood sugar."

"Computer. One slice, chocolate cake. Glass of milk" Jazin ordered while getting her onto the couch."Rest, Ellie." Jazin said.

She sighed again as she slumped on to the couch. "Thank you, honey." She slowly took little bites from the cake slice Jazin was feeding her. She didn't had the strength to hold it. She even took sips from the glass of milk he was holding. She felt a little energy returning. "When I got a little strength again I am going to sickbay. Please cover for me on the bridge."

"Of course." Jazin said. "Anything you need."

Ellie took the glass and looked to it. "It was Umbra. I think she is possessing me...I don't know how to explain it. I don't think she came with the ship. I think she attached herself to me. She is draining me, to stay alive. Without killing me, she needs me for something. I think." She looked up to Jazin. She felt a sudden desire to be with him. A desire she that doesn't seem to be coming from her. She slowly got up. She was still holding the glass with milk. She looked to it. She could feel her hands trembling. She tried to keep control. She felt her hand tighten around the glass. She squeezed so hard the the glass broke in her hand, shocked she let go at the same time as the glass broke. The shards fell to the ground and a gulf of milk washer her hand, which slowly turned red as she had cut herself. Trembling she looked to the deep cuts on her hand.

"Ho many times?" He asked, eyes somewhat determined. He knew full well what umbra could do, and he sure didn't like it. "I had a sneaking suspicion to be honest, Ellie." He said, replicating a bandage and tending to her hand. "Obviously she wants something. And that can't be good. We've both seen what she can do after all." He shuddered at the memory

"I don't know," She sighed. "There is a dermal re generator in my bottom drawer." She smiled weakly. "She seem to be weak though. She did a lit more in the paranormal universe. I think she need paranormal energy to feed off. And in the other universe there was a lot more of that than here. Maybe she is realizing that. "

"Perhaps." He said, running the regenerator over the hand. "Maybe she's just using you as a tether."he sighed. "I just dont like it" he looked down. "We'll need help o.n this"

"My hand or Umbra?" She asked looking to her hand. "Well I agree to both. But it could be, me being tired the cuts are healing slower." She gently put her other hand on his cheek. "I don't like this either. We may need an expert on the paranormal here. I just don't know anyone this timeline that could help. How about we check the database, maybe there is someone in starfleet."

"I'll call Starfleet." He said. "There has to be someone."
