The other thought I had for the episode I mention is that:
Deanna Troi is on a Starfleet transport with 108 people when it is severely damaged by a space anomaly Deanna is one of the few survivors and the only Empathic or Telepath to survive their run-in with the space anomaly, however she badly injured all her limbs are broken. At the same time a few light years away 432 organic ships similar to Gumtu/ Tin-Man but in addition to being sentient the ships have the ability to link with the mind of an individual, in a endosymbiosis state/relationship who servers as the ships avatar for dealing with the ships crew and passengers as well as other species/outsiders and the symbiot brain/mind assisting with he running of the vessel. The living vessels as well house the remainder of a species called the Spectra of original number 1,296 bio vessels with 3,744 aboard each vessel out of 4,852,224 million only 1,617,408 remain.
However one of the lead ships has encountered a quantum singularity damaging the mind of the oldest ship in the fleet and killing its symbiot companion, as a result the crew put the mind of the vessel Vextra to sleep and start looking for a replacement for the symbiot companion; during this search they come upon the Starfleet transport and establish telepathic communications with Deanna Troi; they inform her that they are able to save the lives of the other passengers aboard the Starfleet transport if she volunteers to become their vessel’s new symbiot companion so they can keep their vessel functioning properly so both groups benefit. Deanna asks “Why me?” The Spectra explain that only an Empathic being or a Telepathic being can become a symbiot companion it is dangerous for those who are not an Empathic or Telepathic, “It has driven those who are not insane, your lifespan will increase and your knowledge will increase as well as your intelligence; After we reach our new home and start to settle it she can then server as a liaison between the Spectra and the Federation.
“Unfortunately when you transform into a symbiot companion to the vessel Vextra you cannot return to your original genetic form again.” “In addition to the other changes that the transformation into a symbiot companion endows you with is the ability to shape-shift and shape-shift Vextra as well; sixty percent of Empaths that undergo the Symbiot Companion Metamorphosis become Telepathic we do not fully understand why this happens; All Telepathic Symbiot Companions are strong enough to perform mind transference between two or more beings, your physical strength will increase considerably, you will be able to be in several places at once; You will be able to function outside of Vextra like Gumtu/Tin-Man also you will be able to separate yourself from Vextra for a period of six years at a time” “Of final importance you will be able to partially link minds with Vextra as well as full mental integration with Vextra if you develop a close bond with your host Vextra you and her will periodically undergo mind transference and if your host is severely injured you Deanna will be able to transform yourself in to the Host Body and transform Vextra in to your Symbiot Companion”
“Do you agree to our offer Deanna Troi to become Deanna Vextra?”
Deanna thinks over the Spectryn offer for twelve minutes “Many of the crew and passengers are dead and more are dying including myself as time passes this may be my only chance to save us aboard the transport” Deanna says out loud, just then word reaches the makeshift sickbay where the survivors are that it will take four hours to repair the communication systems; Deanna Troi focuses the thought “I accept your offer to become Deanna and Vextra” the Spectryn crew acknowledge Deanna’s answer and they beam her off the transport looks of shock spread through sickbay as Deanna Troi dematerialises before nearly all of sickbay to see panic sets in among many in sickbay since they think they are going to be boarded.
Meanwhile aboard the Vextra an organic platform rises moments before Deanna Troi materialises on the platform a chair like chamber with a semi-opaque dome-like front forms up out of the ship [Think Metropolis by Fritz Lang 1927 Robot Maria activation scenes for the inspiration for the setting]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(film)
[Some of these scenes are used in Queen’s video for Radio Ga Ga and the video is inspired by Metropolis] A female voice pages for Doctor Darshana Ciana; Deanna is rapped in organic bands of material she looks like a Mummy but her face is visible. Dr. Darshana Ciana approaches Deanna Troi “Welcome Deanna Troi we will both benefit from this” “I’m hurt worse than I think” says Deanna
“It’s the End, but the moment has been prepared for” [I’ve wanted to put that line in badly any guesses as to where its from] replies the doctor. The metamorphosis begins energy pluses surge through Deanna’s body at first there is discomfort and pain but this turns in a soothing sensation her body is then probed, organic bands then cover her face he memories are then scanned; a new body starts to grow in the chair like chamber [New actress that bears a resemblance to Marina takes over the role] infant to child to adult in twelve minuets.
Then energy pluses pass through both bodies Deanna’s new body start to glow Deanna Troi’s mind begins to transfer over to her new body; Her original body starts to shake considerably and the her body goes limp over at the chamber the dome opens and liquid pours out. The New Deanna Troi stands up [Actress is wearing a flesh-tone body-stocking] nearly naked with some biological material covering her body is mildly glowing she starts to walk and almost falls over; Deanna tries again and falls down she gets down on all fours and starts crawl to her old body Deanna stands up and places her hands on the mid section of her old lifeless body Deanna absorbs her old body.
“I was her Deanna Troi was I not? I am her but not her she is part of me but I am more now; she could only crawl but I can walk I can run and I can fly!” says the New Seanna Troi.
“Hello name is Dr. Darshana Ciana I am the head of the metamorphosis team you have just made it through the first stage of the Symbiot Companion Metamorphosis & Regeneration; Your doing fine I’m going to ask you two questions first do you know why you are here and who are you” Seanna Troi is disorientated and does not seem to understand Dr. Darshana Ciana questions after a few moments she asks her patient again
“Who are you please tell me your name and what is your purpose here?” asks Dr. Ciana “Who am I? Who Am I? WHO Am I? WHO AM I?” says the New
Seanna Troi. “
I AM SEANNA PHOENIX! She answers “When one will become two and one, when will be as one with Vextra?” “Then will be of three minds one must become two an in turn three and its factor SIX; when will I be as Vextra and Vextra as I?”
“Soon” answers Dr. Ciana “We are only a third of what we should be?” asks
Seanna “Yes” says Dr. Ciana “Next is the memories of the past Symbiot Companions, a medical team is ready to take you to the outer core Symbiot Companions Past then to the inner core for integration with Vextra” answers the doctor
Seanna Phoenix glow increases and she starts to levitate “YES, YES, YES then we will be whole
Seanna Phoenix Vextra!” she passes out the doctor catches as she falls “Come on people we were off to the outer core” 120 Meters/396.3 Feet [1Meter = 3.28 Feet] later the medical team and Seanna Phoenix have reached the edge of the mid-section of the ship “Our becoming is at hand; the experiences and knowledge of the lineage will be part of us and us of it I shall increase the sum of the lineage of Symbiot Companions and achieve kinship with the lineage of predecessors” “Gumtu was week and foolish we are not Gumtu should have shared his knowledge with the federation how selfish, we are grater and shall be magnanimous and share with the federation what they will be capable of grasping and appreciating”
“Deanna Troi needed protection she had to depend on Riker, Worf or Data for protection but now reborn as Seanna Phoenix I do not need anyone on the Enterprise to protect me, I can protect the Enterprise as Seanna Phoenix Vextra or as Seanna Phoenix” “I will show William T. Riker whom belongs to whom very soon” Seanna snickers then giggles “Worf will be able to take a long vacation after I complete my metamorphosis and regeneration I will be able to handle security for Enterprise” Seanna laughs “and as for those who hold an ill will for Jean Luc Picard due to his being Locutus of Borg we shall exact punishment on all of them” “We are ready for the myriad of experiences, knowledge and skills of the lineage NO MORE DELAY Darshana Ciana there are no regrets we demand our becoming, our advancement, our fulfillment, my reformation and Vextra’s restoration, OUR REGENERATION & REBIRTH ”
“Dr Ciana our new Symbiot Companion seems too eager to go through this she seems as if she will loose herself in this merging” states one of the youngest members of the Symbiot Companion Metamorphosis & Regeneration Team; “You forget that Deanna has gone through Regeneration in addition to Symbiot Companion Metamorphosis and Deanna had life threatening injuries young Mr. Tory” “One: undergoing Companion Metamorphosis unsettles the mind a bit, Two: Regeneration to heal injuries blurs the mind, Three: Total Regeneration to prevent a death causes a storm in one’s mind; In the case of Deanna Troi/Seanna Phoenix Total Regeneration plus Symbiot Companion Metamorphosis has caused her to through reformation” answers Dr. Darshana Ciana
Dr. Ciana continues “Four: willingness how much someone wants/needs to become a Symbiot Companion affects the whole process, this volunteer is more willing and more genuine than some of our candidates who have studied and trained for this role”
“As a result of these four factors the mind of Deanna Troi/Seanna Phoenix is in total flux her personally traits are shifting around dominant traits are becoming minor traits and minor traits are becoming dominant as well some of her dominant and minor personality traits are becoming midlevel personality traits” “When we get to the outer core and the next step of this transformation takes place Myriad Life Induction takes place the mind of Deanna Troi/Seanna Phoenix will be in a state of chaos her mind as it is not will seem calm compared to what it will soon be after Seanna Phoenix receives the Myriad sum of the lineage of predecessor companions Seanna Phoenix’s mind will be re-forged” Dr. Darshana Ciana pauses takes a breath and stares piercingly at the young Mr. Tory
“That is not for the faint of heart Mr Tory as you have read in your medical studies a new companion can be violent, paranoid and or delusional after stage two”
