Star Trek: Phoenix: Mind Over Matter

Written by Nax

3 months after Woyo’s takeover.

Maggie grimaced as she was confined to the operating table. Her mouth covered by a facemask that kept her from talking. She was contained in a straight jacket, where had it all gone wrong? Phoenix had been trying to escape for months. They had been on the run, and fate had finally caught up to them. She remembered the three vessels coming out of warp, immediately disabling the warp core with a series of coordinated strikes. She remembered disabling the first ship valiantly, then the second. Then she remembered her console going up in flames, Shar looking shocked as Maggie toppled over. Then Maggie had passed out. Shar holding her as she faded into unconsciousness. Then she woke up on a stretcher, she could see Shar, Nira, Sauon, Blanche and a few others along with her. Each wearing the straight jacket and mask as they were wheeled into Starfleet medical. Each into separate rooms.

And that’s where Maggie had laid for a hour.

Music began to play, soft jazz music. Then what amounted to a VR headset was strapped over her eyes. Showering her mind with images, it seemed they were made for her. As images of Shar in pain, correlated to the old Starfleet. Of a beautiful sunrise, correlated to the new Starfleet. On this went for another few hours. Until the headset lifted, and doctor’s came in to remove her straight jacket and mask. She smiled, thank god she had been shown the right way. She was given a new uniform, since her old one had been burned. Maggie walked out of the room. Immediately seeing Shar there, waiting for her. Maggie ran over to hug her, before planting a kiss on her cheek. “Hey angel...” Meanwhile, Tina watched from a corner. Reading the reports of Maggie’s reconditioning, good. Maggie had been reconditioned to love Tina. Very very good. Tina sighed as she started to walk out, she would have to thank the grand admiral tonight. Intimately.
