Re: Bar Trek: The Next Generation. Episode 4: Sore Leave
After a long moment of silence, Kamog's eyes open. An eerie while light emanates from his eyes and mouth. Steam rises from his ears.
"I KNOW EEEVVVVEERRRYYTTTHHHIIINNNGGGG!!"
"A child could do it... a child could do it! OK now, let's get to work!"
Kamog sits down at the medical computer station and starts typing at a furious pace. "We can re-attach all of Mr. S'Katchoo's nerve connections by modifying Borg nanite technology", he explains while typing. Within minutes, several different 3-D views of the nanites appear on the screen, and a few seconds later, several thousand units are produced in the medical replicator.
Kamog puts on a lab coat, a mask and some latex surgical gloves, and places S'Katchoo's body on the operation table. He opens the medical cabinet and selects a glass vial filled with some sort of drug. There's a very complex-looking chemical formula on the label. Taking a hypo-needle, he injects some of the green liquid into the back of S'Katchoo's head.
Kamog then takes the laser scalpel and carefully cuts open S'Katchoo's head. There is an awful *sklunchhh* sound, as Kamog flips open the top half of S'Katchoo's skull. Inside the skull is empty darkness. Kamog takes a syringe full of nanites and deposits them at the base of S'Katchoo's hollow skull.
He then opens the brain storage canister that holds S'Katchoo's brain. Inside the container, the brain is floating in life-supporting bio-fluid, and attached to the brain are numerous wires, sensors and tubes. Kamog methodically removes all of the wires and tubes from the brain, gently holds the brain in his gloved hands, and lifts it out of the bio-fluid. Liquid drips down from the brain, and Kamog quickly inserts it into S'Katchoo's head. He then takes the trilaser connector and attaches the blood vessels. Above the operation table, the medical computer screen immediately starts showing a rotating image of brain activity and the nanites begin re-attaching S'Katchoo's brain to his spinal column and the nerve endings to his eyes, ears, mouth, and the rest of his body.
Kamog then closes up the top of S'Katchoo's head, and fuses his skull back together using the trilaser connector. Just as he finishes sealing up S'Katchoo's head, a light comes on above the operatin table, and the medical computer displays: "Nerve connections 100% COMPLETE."
"That was SO easy! Everything is so simple... I see the universe as a single equation. I know how to increase the ships's speed by 20,000%... how to produce unlimited energy from a drop of water... how to instantly communicate from one side of the universe to the other... - AAAARGGGG!!" Suddenly, Kamog holds his hands on his head and collapses onto the floor, his face contorted in pain.
S'Katchoo's eyes flutter open! He sits up. "Where am I?"
