STAR TREK: Dark Angel The So'koth Chronicles "Project Evolution" A short story by Daniel Ratterree This story tells how So’koth was given “Evolution.” And was reborn. To get you up to speed if you've not read "Death of a helmsman". So'koth was aboard the USS Lexicon at the Battle of Wolf 359, his ship and crew destroyed. He himself was nearly assimilated by the Borg after escaping his striken vessel in a shuttle. It crashed on a nearby planet in the wolf system. Borg drones found and attempted to assimilate him and others... he was found by members of Starfleet Intelligence and taken alive though listed as having perished. This is a continuation of “Death of a Helmsman.” At an undisclosed location in a very advanced lab tucked away in the most unlikely of places… |

“How did you come across this one?”
“We found him on a planet near the Battle of Wolf 359.” The shadowy figure on the viewscreen said. “Horn said he wants this one to be used for Evolution.”
Doctor Yellowstone shifted in his chair. “Very well then, we’ll see what we can do. He’s in bad shape!” the doctor leaned over the stasis tube. “How much organics do we want to save?”
“That’s part of the test doctor, all of it!” the screen winked out leaving the doctor to his newest subject.
“You shall be my prize,” he walked to the back of the tube and activated the antigravity units. “We need to get you cleaned up and on the mend.” He pushed the tube down the long windowless corridor, the various security systems coming back alive as he passed them as they were automated to do so to protect the facility. “You will thank me when we are done.”
Turning the corner and heading down another long corridor and passing through a large set up of double doors into a very large lab, he brings the unit to a stop locking it in place. “Computer enter subject eight, Project Evolution. Give me a full work up!”
“Yes doctor, initiating full workup protocol.” The computers female voice echoed through the lab. Several automated pieces of equipment came alive and began moving toward the item and began to go about scanning the test subject. He watches as the tube was picked up and placed inside a large machine of his own personal design. “Scanning completed!”
“Show me!” he said moving over towards the large device, a bunch of screens came down from the ceiling dwarfing the large device coming alive with scanning data showing the subjects internal make up all the way down to the genetic level. “Strange and curious!” he said as he paced the screens. “A latent bio electrical field with morphological properties.”
“Yes Doctor, I thought you would like that!” the computers voice echoed through the room.
“Half Klingon and half Human, though the human genome is oddly more dominant. So we have a slight genetic anomaly.” He said walking over to the console. “A fascinating subject they have found!” he ran his hands across the console bringing the stage one protocols alive. “Let’s give him a bath and then give him life again shall we?” he said.
There was a series of beeps followed by the sound of the devices mechanisms powering up, a pair of tubes came down from the top and hooked into the device. The tanks stasis field winked out causing the body to very suddenly slump against the tank window. A green liquid began to fill the tank. “Initializing stage one, sterilization!” the computer’s voiced. Several hoses and electrical and data cables were connected to the tank. “Tank Fluid level has reached forty percent”
“Shock him!”
“Charging!” the sound of an electrical capacitor building up caused a whine to fill the room. Then a sudden surge of electricity which visibly could be seen running through the tube and the individual inside.

Awakening
...
So’koth felt the sudden surge and spasm of his body, the hard impact with the surface in front of him then behind. His eyes flashed open. He was in a tube, a man, an older man stood outside watching with a grin on his face. He could see his lips moving as if he was talking to someone but no one was there. His body didn’t want to work though he was slumped over his knees the only thing keeping him upright.
There was liquid in the tank which began to fill. He wanted to bang on the glass but he couldn’t lift his arms. It came quickly engulfing him quickly he could feel his body struggling not to take in the liquid, his eyes were wide with fear but nothing else would react.
Where the hell was this, why was this happening?
He felt another surge go through the tank as his body jerked again and his head bounced off the glass in front of him. Sending him back into the darkness once again.
