Captain_Blue_Beard
When Jorek is attacked on an alien world and his lungs are stolen, the crew of the USS Scotia is forced into a desperate race against time. As Captain Adaira Lax leads the hunt for the mysterious organ harvesters, Doctor Maggie Mackenzie attempts an impossible procedure to keep him alive with holographic lungs.
But survival comes at a cost. Trapped in Sickbay and haunted by memories of war, Jorek must confront not only his own mortality but the fear of living the rest of his life unable to move, unable to escape, and breathing only on borrowed time.
A story of survival, trauma, loyalty, and the miracles people create when giving up is not an option.
