Weston opened his left eye to see that he was laying in the med bay of a
Starfleet vessel. He was surrounded by staff who seemed to be working
diligently on something. He realized what they were working on was
him. Somewhere in the background of his mind
he heard a voice say, “permission to sooth the patient empathically.”
~Yeah, good luck with that.~ Then another voice saying, “No, don’t
sooth emphatically. It’s important that he is as clear minded as
possible.”</p>

Whenever anyone turned to look at him he would close his eye and let
them do their work. He knew this tactic wasn’t going to work very
long. But when you’d been in deep cover as long as he had it was
difficult to actually trust anyone. Especially on this
case. So he concentrated on keep his breathing shallow and his heart
rate elevated. That was usually the first mistake people made. Slowing
your breathing would naturally slow your heart rate, unless there was
something wrong with you. He wanted to keep
these people believing that there was something wrong with him. The
good news was that there actually was something wrong.</p>

However the doctor in charged seemed to be more adept than the typical
space doc, and she was treating the disrupted tissue with speed and
efficiency. They won’t be able to tell what caused the injury. The
weapon doesn’t actually exist, or shouldn’t. But
it did and his injuries proved it. </p>
