==[ORIGINS] USS HOOD: Anger Mismanagement== | |||
===by Scott Lusby=== | |||
SD: 2261.208 | |||
Setting: Cell, Unknown Place | |||
"I'm going to frakking kill someone," Lieutenant Commander Gar Th'elenth growled as he paced like a caged ani...well, a caged Andorian. "I'm going to do it slowly, and I'm going to enjoy doing it." | |||
Rick Payne glanced in his direction. "Calm down, Gar," he said, dismissing the Andorian's grousing with a wave of his hand. | |||
Gar froze, and his eyes narrowed to slits as he eyed the HOOD's Security Chief. "You keep telling me to calm down, and I will gladly take my frustrations out on you, MISTER Payne." | |||
Gar continued pacing, trying to hold onto the anger he was feeling. It shouldn't have been hard; he was in a cage, after all, and like most sentient being resisted captivity. However, he couldn't: his conscience was too busy reminding him his frustration was fruitless to stay angry. | |||
Suddenly, his surroundings changed...and for a brief moment, he almost wished he was back in his cage. | |||
He was back on Arcturus- that small hotel, where-- | |||
"Gar," a beautiful, lithe Andorian woman called to him softly from across the room. | |||
"Avae," he said, his tone almost a whisper as they met one another. "How are you here?" | |||
"I am here for you," she said softly, her hand reaching out to brush the side of his head. | |||
Gar closed his eyes. A part deep within him, that corner reserved for only the most private thoughts and memories, regretted not taking Avae up on her offer. It would have been so easy- kill the monster Doctor Sahen, be done with his kind...and find a life with Avae, one he had denied himself all those years ago. | |||
But something wasn't tracking...Avae made her decisions about the two of them as well...and after the way that mission had ended... | |||
"You couldn't possibly be here- you WOULDN'T possibly be here," Gar said, raising and drawing back his fist, anger now welling up again as he recognized the subtle, seductive manipulations at work. | |||
Then, just as suddenly, he caught himself, and lowered his hand. He stepped back from Avae, turning and looking up. "It won't work!" he shouted. "I won't play along!" | |||
Instantly, pain enveloped him, a pain unlike that he had ever felt. | |||
[[[Refusal to cooperate will be punished,]]] he heard a voice echo inside of his head. [[[Cooperation will as quickly be rewarded.]]] | |||
And then, in another blink, he was back in his cell. | |||
Cedria Zade was standing right across from him. "Who is Avae, and why are you standing so close to me?" | |||
<<NRPG>> | |||
Sorry for the long silence. This is god-awful, but I thought I needed to do something before Merrick beams every living being back to HOOD. | |||
Respectfully Submitted, | |||
