Parks

Parks was assigned to the Reticulum Merchant Ship Stolanoi Agrippus as Systems Maintenance Tech.

When the ship was boarded by Mondites, Ensign Martic Dane was left in command of the survivors. He surrendered to their attackers. Alongside Dane and Cargo Handling Specialist Klima they were taken to Daedalus.

The three were sleeping in irregular intervals and variable duration which left them totally disoriented.

After some days the three were escorted under armed guard and taken to some sort of medical center and physically examined. Once all were pronounced "suitable" there were injected with some sort of chemical compound. In Klima it caused a devastating pain which left him writhing on the floor paralyzed with agony. In Parks it caused horrifying hallucinations. He looked around constantly, sometimes dodging things that weren't there, waving his arms. A strange calm just came over Dane. After several hours it was over and they took the three back to their cells.

The tests continued as the other results were inconclusive. Parks begged them not to inject him again. Dane wanted but was unable to help him fight them as they forcibly injected him with the chemicals. This round of hallucinations were more terrifying than the first; they had barely left the room when Parks began shrieking at the top of his lungs. He screamed and screamed until his voice completely broke and then he was reduced to making these low guttural hisses. Klima had long since passed out from the pain, so Dane was the only one in the room to watch what happened next. Dane tried speaking to Parks several times but he just rolled around and around on the floor clawing out his eyes until blood appeared and the disturbance brought the guards back. He was laughing like an idiot when they took him away.

He was thrown in the Acid Lake.
