  • Be me

    Sitting at my station in the shuttle bay waiting for someone to need a shuttle

    Two people on the deck below me activate their replicators at the same time

    My console explodes, tearing off an arm and burning half my uniform off, and skin too.

    Stagger out the door looking for help.

    See someone in the new medical uniforms, so glad they changed that so I don’t accidentally ask a botanist for help.

    It’s a betazoid psychiatrist

    Die and get fired out of the ship in a torpedo.









  • That’s a lot of medication for someone young.

    I imagine he could feel very angry, sad and resentful about that. And the yet he can’t express it to the thing that’s being so unfair to him how do you tell your illness it’s being unfair?

    So it’s just sat there until someone comes along and reminds him of how unfair it is and how angry he is by telling him to take his medication, and again he’s feeling powerless.

    So he takes what little power he has back, he refuses his medication and attacks the nurses.

    Extreme situation, given it’s potentially life and death stuff, regular human behaviour. Who hasn’t snapped at someone when we’re in a bad mood when they were trying to help?
