    Summary

    The trauma of transformation leaves scars much deeper than a drone's plastic shell -- deeper even than mangled insides twined with flesh. Though N was made to forget, V wasn't. The frame-by-frame image of her hollowing, her kenosis, is burned into her drives; not just her body torn into something else, but being forced to watch N go through the same.

    Summary

    So you remember that episode where the Enterprise-D picks up some humans from the 1980's and it serves as a contrast between the 20th century and the 24th? Because I do, and I have THOUGHTS. I think that the premise of cryonics was fundamentally counterproductive to the episode's purpose because cryonics inherently biases the pool towards relatively wealthy people who have their lives together. So I wrote a story about the crew dealing with an untrusting, uncooperative, mentally ill, belligerent trans autistic person. Because I found it amusing. Data heavy and tagged self-indulgent for a reason. Enjoy.
