Posted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Vanessa Slade (CNS) in Holodeck sim wrap up - Conference room
Vanessa sat in the large conference room waiting for everyone to arrive. She had stopped by sickbay as ordered. Her results were that she was fit for duty, however, that did not mean the results from their scans were not interesting.

Calvin entered the conference room wearing an expression that was far from neutral. The anger on his face was evident and justified. His crew had been kidnapped. The man responsible felt zero remorse. After reporting back to Starfleet command, Calvin’s mood only deteriorated. Taking a seat at the table next to Vanessa he picked up a PaDD and sent the information he had obtained in the last hour for the crew to read on the large wall PaDD.

The information read like a novel about their experiences. A history of individuals, who were removed from their lives, and transported to various locations. Some of these individuals returned home but more than half were bodies that were found after being reported missing to the security division of Starfleet. All were Starfleet officers. Those that were taken had been gone for a minimum of weeks but typically a few months before they were released or their bodies found.

Medically the scans would show the crew of the Genesis were all healthy however, the scans of those taken by Ric were vastly different. It would be easy to assume that if the XO had not found them, Calvin and those taken might not have survived.

Calvin had sent this information to those involved before the meeting for them to digest and discuss when they arrived.

“How are you feeling,” Vanessa asked the Captain. The question was innocent enough however the meaning was deeper. The incident was a far cry from his six months undergoing the psychological cruelty of the Cardassian secret police but the basic elements were there as a psychological hostage: difficulty with reality versus fantasy, being held at an oppressor’s whim, and loss of time. It was unsettling for her and it was only a posh hologram with polite people and lush surroundings. No one had tried to twist her mind for secrets she was duty-bound to keep. No one had leveraged the ending of her pain by forcing Vanessa to name another to take her place. It was an apples to oranges comparison and yet it was still fruit.

“I am scheduling a debrief with the officers involved. I don’t think it needs to be mandatory but I at least plan on offering the option.”
