The Consequences of Playing God

Dr. McCormick had always been fascinated by the Genesis Planet. As a scientific researcher, he had heard of its powerful regenerative abilities and had dreamed of one day studying it in person. So when the opportunity arose for him to join Dr. Leonard McCoy on the USS Enterprise and travel to the planet, he eagerly accepted.
But upon arriving at the Quasar Bar and Grill, a popular hangout for intergalactic travelers, Dr. McCormick's plans were quickly derailed. He had been kicked off the Enterprise after a heated argument with Dr. McCoy, and now he needed to find another way to get to the Genesis Planet. However, as he approached a group of alien captains, he was met with the same response from each of them - 'Genesis Planet forbidden!'
Desperate to return to the planet, Dr. McCormick pleaded with the captains for a way to get there. But none of them were willing to risk breaking the strict Federation laws and facing severe consequences. Just as he was about to give up, a Federation security guard appeared and informed Dr. McCormick that not only was the Genesis Planet off-limits, but any attempt to visit it would result in imprisonment.
Frustrated and angry, Dr. McCormick attempted to use the Vulcan nerve pinch on the guard in a last-ditch effort to escape. But the guard was trained to resist such attacks and easily subdued Dr. McCormick. He was promptly arrested and taken to Federation prison, where he would spend the rest of his life.
Dr. McCormick's attempts to escape were futile and he was soon forgotten by the rest of the universe. He died alone in his cell, his body buried in an unmarked grave as a final punishment for his crimes. But that was not the end of his punishment.
In the afterlife, Dr. McCormick found himself in Hades, shoveling coal under the watchful eye of Lucifer. He was surrounded by other notorious figures from history, such as Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, all condemned to an eternity of hard labor for their wrongdoings. Dr. McCormick was forced to endure physical torture as well, with Lucifer poking him in the butt with an electrified pitchfork if he dared to take a break.
As he labored in agony, Dr. McCormick could only reflect on the consequences of his actions. His quest for knowledge and power had led him down a dark path, one that ultimately cost him his freedom and his soul. He could only hope that others would learn from his mistakes and not make the same grave error of playing god
