Dr. McCormick’s story

Dr. McCormick, a once respected and brilliant scientist, had always dreamed of going back to the Genesis Planet. It was a place of wonder and mystery, a place that held the key to so many secrets of the universe. Dr. McCormick had been one of Dr. Leonard McCoy's trusted assistants on the USS Enterprise, and the memories of their space travels together still haunted him.
Determined to return to the Genesis Planet, Dr. McCormick went to the Quasar Bar and Grill, a known hub for hiring starships. He approached the bar and grill's owner, an alien captain, and made his request.
'Genesis Planet forbidden!' The captain responded, shaking his head.
Dr. McCormick pleaded, explaining his desire to unlock the secrets of the planet and his years of service to the Federation. But the alien captain remained firm and turned him away.
Feeling defeated, Dr. McCormick paced the bar, frantically thinking of his next move. That's when a Federation security guard approached him.
'Dr. McCormick, you cannot go back to the Genesis Planet. It is off-limits, and any attempt to visit it will result in severe punishment,' the guard warned.
But Dr. McCormick was not deterred. In a desperate attempt to escape, he tried to use the Vulcan nerve pinch on the guard, but he failed.
The guard, incensed by the attempted attack, arrested Dr. McCormick and took him to Federation prison. There, he would spend the rest of his life, locked away from the wonders of the universe he so desperately wanted to discover.
Despite several escape attempts, Dr. McCormick always failed, and as the years passed, he became a bitter and broken man. Eventually, he died in that prison, alone and forgotten by the Federation.
But his punishment did not end there. His soul went down to Hades, where he was forced to shovel coal under the watchful eye of Lucifer. Dr. McCormick was surrounded by the likes of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, all shoveling coal and eating black bread and drinking black water.
Despite his efforts, Dr. McCormick was not allowed to take a break. If he did, Lucifer would poke him with an electrified pitchfork, forcing him to get back to work. And so, Dr. McCormick's story came to a tragic end, serving as a warning to those who disobeyed the rules of the Federation.
