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))

[She shudders, despite herself.]
I mean... It's not like I'm not used to blood, but seeing it like this... It reminds me of some bad stuff.
no subject
Oh, I'm sorry... If I had known....
no subject
She is raising her hands and putting them on Beverly's cheeks and very lightly smooshing.]
You do not need to apologize. I haven't been saying anything, and my magic was the best thing we had for her. The good incredibly outweighed the harm.
no subject
I don't want you to feel like you tell me these things though. Your well-being is important too.
no subject
... There's a lot I can't talk about. But... My being squeamish does not even compare to someone having that sort of stuff inside them. I'm not the one in danger, and my well-being isn't at risk, just feeling shitty.

[You might have to walk her through the concept.]

['not quantifiable'? sounds fake but ok.]
it's been 84 years...
[Her brow furrows again. This is difficult. Beverly's not a psychologist - even if she has more than passing familiarity with psychology, it's more on the medical end of things, not the therapeutic.]
How do you know when you're happy? Or sad? Or angry?
pets
I can feel those now?
['Now' being the important word in there.]
no subject
Right. You can feel them, they're not really something you can measure, at least not in any precise sense. But the important thing is that you don't minimize them - you're still allowed to feel what you're feeling, even if someone else seems to have it worse.

[And now she starting to look a little more stern.]
Besides, this isn't a contest of who has it worse. Not telling me about this isn't helping you or Wrath.
no subject
... It's fine, really. It's not like this is my home world anymore. If I can't go back, then I have to get used to the way things are done here, right?

[She doesn't mean to sound doubtful, it's just that she doubts she can be helped.]

I told you about my memory, right?

So... All I can do is do what I can to help. Make the choices I'll be able to live with after the fact.
