"I want to see Deanna," he repeated in a low but forceful tone.

In his mind's eye, he saw Deanna, lying there on one of the cogs.

When he saw Deanna, he started to rise, his entire face a question.

He turned to see Deanna stepping away from a different device that was closer to the door.

Riker saw Deanna's uniform lying on the floor near a chair, and he picked it up.

When I last saw Deanna, she was headed to bed, like the doctor ordered.

On this busy evening, the hostess was all over the room, but upon seeing Deanna, she gravitated back to the bar.

When he saw Deanna, his grin lit his face like the sun.

Riker turned to one side, then the other, before he saw Deanna to his left.

He tapped his comm badge to end the transmission and saw Deanna looking curiously at him.
