Plot Synopsis

Wherever you go, there you are.

Plot Summary

After a horrible crash and several intense hallucinations after hitting her head, Belinda found herself stranded and alone on a strange forested planet. Her need to find a cure for her old mentor's illness gone with his passing she had sent out a distress signal and waited for someone to come rescue her. The local wildlife had quickly learned that it was best to leave her alone but she soon had the company of Jedi Master Hito in the form of a Force Ghost, though Belinda doubted whether it was really Hito or just another hallucination.
The two engaged in a number of existential discussions on the nature of what Belinda might need and how and why Hito could be providing advice from the standpoint that she may or may not be just a portion of Belinda's subconscious. After a time Belinda revealed to Hito (or possibly her own subconscious) that she was bleeding internally but assumed Hito could do nothing about it, at which point Hito corrected her and implied she could indeed heal Belinda (or Belinda could heal herself), but if she did she would not longer be strong enough to keep a form Belinda could see and Belinda would be left all alone again.
Eventually Marty arrived on the planet, having received Belinda's distress call. After a moment of discussion about Marty's status as a hallucination Belinda was able to leave the planet. Dr. Oon's examination of Belinda indicated that if she had not found a way to heal herself when she did she would have surely died from her injuries before they could have rescued her.
After a debriefing with the Captain and the realization that there was no evidence of any Fountain of Healing on the planet, Belinda resigned herself to have learned a lesson on counting on her friends, even the imaginary ones, and went to stare off into the vastness of space and contemplate her experience.
