Who: Beverly Crusher, Wrath, The Vision, Jennifer Keller… and maybe you?
Broadcast: No
Action: Iskaulit, Surgical Suite
When: Today!

There’s a new room on the Iskaulit, though it’s not obvious where it is, if you don’t know about it already, as it is inconspicuously tucked away in one of the unused corridors of the ship. More importantly, it’s equipped with biometric security systems, so only a select few can enter without being accompanied by one of the room’s designers. Under Dr. Crusher and Captain Vision’s guidance, various engineers and doctors in the fleet have come together to build a surgical suite with one specific goal in mind: fixing Wrath’s back and removing the ports put there by Compliance. For over a year, Wrath and Beverly have been pursuing this goal and now it’s finally happening.

In the operating room itself, there are only three people, besides Wrath: Dr. Crusher, Dr. Keller, and the Vision, in case they run into any issues with Wrath’s cybernetic implants. However, for those who wish to watch the surgery, there is a small observation lounge looking down into the OR, where you are welcome to stay and watch. The two doctors and Vision are all covered head to toe in scrubs, masks, and gloves, while Wrath lies prone on the operating table, with cushions supporting her neck and hips, and her limbs securely strapped in to keep her safely in position. An IV delivers her pain meds and anesthesia. Gently, Beverly kneels in front of an already fading Wrath and places a respirator over her face. “All right, Wrath, ready? I’m going to count backwards from ten. 10, 9, 8…”

Hours later, Beverly has successfully removed the shattered ports, working from her experience with Borg implants. It’s delicate, tedious work, but she never falters, her hands steady throughout. If there was any doubt as to her surgical skills before, there can be none now. Afterwards, Wrath is back in traction in the recovery room. She may still be a little drowsy, but no doubt she will welcome visitors.

((ooc: this is a catch-all post for anything relating to Wrath's surgery, especially post-op, for anyone who is involved either as a friend or as another healer))

Probably. I think Beverly has you on more painkillers than I can count- She should, anyway.

[Painkillers are weird to her, though they exist even in her world. But still, when you have access to healing magic, why bother with those?]

When you're well enough to move, call me? If you can make it down planetside, I think I can speed up your healing. Significantly, if I understand the theory as well as I think I do.

It's less than I used to be on, maybe. [She doesn't feel quite as weird as she has in the past.]

Okay, I definitely will! I really hope I can get out on the surface some. Though I promise to definitely take it easy.

Actually, I have no idea whether or not you should take it easy... I haven't dealt with healing like this that isn't magic.

I guess, just listen to Beverly?

I know Beverly wants me to be careful. And it's gonna take a while to get all my synthetics tuned back up to full so I'll be used to them again. So yeah...

Your "synthetics"?

I have a lot of synthetic muscle fibers and nerves.

[... i have so many questions]

Would... Would it be rude if I asked why?

Some of it was duty enhancements and experimental stuff during the war. And a lot of it is also just to repair injuries. Most of my internal organs are synthetic at this point.
