As the bickering grew, Ami focused her full attention on Daniel. Normally the man was hard to read, his shields were stronger than most and when she focused on him, she received an image of glittering water or a bright white aura. Not so today. Today his emotions and thoughts blared brightly and loudly, and when she focused on him, it was hard not to pick up on what he was thinking and feeling.
He had a plan. After all this time under his leadership, one would think that her fellow castaways would realize that - but they didn't. Apparently a few did, like Jack Harkness and Jon Murphy, but everyone else wanted to argue and debate. Even Megabyte recognized that Daniel hadn't gone off the deep end.
Normally in her state, Ami wouldn't have skimmed the surface, allowing the thoughts to roll off of her, but Daniel was broadcasting so much that all she had to do was focus on him and she knew what the plan was. He was planning to use DHARMA's own arrogance against them.
Ami gave Scott a mental nudge to get his attention, noting that her husband had been oddly silent for the whole meeting. Part of it was simply Daniel's presence, but she wondered what he was making of the man's announcement. /Daniel knows what he's doing, love,/ Ami told him. /Now, shield yourself for what I'm going to do next./
That earned a bit of curiosity from him. /What are you -/
She gave his hand another squeeze. /It's important, trust me and I'll tell you later./
Scott sent a pulse of compliance and understanding and she sensed her awareness of him dwindle. After giving the same order to Megabyte, Ami dropped her shields as much as she could and focused on the whole room. Concentrating and putting as much understanding and support behind the words, she empathically projected, /Trust Daniel./
Ami was only hoping it was enough when Rose toppled next to her, barely being saved in time by May.
(Please let that be a coincidence!)
Ami turned immediately, joining May beside Rose. That was a mistake. Touching Rose, focusing on Rose unshielded was like being hit with the force of an ancient, powerful mind. Recoiling, Ami slammed down her shields protectively and withdrew with a startled and alarmed gasp.
[OOC: Ami is not trying to brainwash anyone into doing anything. She's simply applying encouragement. Also, purplerhino, I'm playing this like Rose is having another attack of 'Bad Wolf.' If I'm wrong let me know.]
