Psychological Evaluation.

Subject: Ensign Mogg:

Acting Physician: Dr. Victor Images

Time and Place Of  Examination: Sky Harbor Aegis. stardate 0308.21

 

Ensign Mogg on first glance appears to be a normal healthy member of our crew. He is intelligent, witty, and somewhat charismatic and with a good service record so far. However after giving him a full psychological examination I have discovered problems deep below the surface that may have been the cause of his outbursts on stardate 0308.01.

 

Mogg has been keeping a family secret inside of him. During the dominion war, His father was brutalized in a Cardassian work camp and returned home a different man. He was crippled, disfigured and had lost a lot of his basic thought. There was little or no compensation for what happened making Mogg take it as a personal insult. Since that time he has been waging a constant war inside, trying to stop himself from setting loose the unbridled resentment he has for Cardassians. In his mind, it is not just the minority who hurt his family but every single Cardassian, a grand conspiracy if you will.

 

Mogg’s stationing on Sky Harbor Aegis was an attempt of his to “face the enemy” as it were. He believed that if he could be in a federation facility monitoring Cardassia, it would give him some security. As if his presence would make sure that no one would be harmed like his father was. However it has had quite the opposite effect, bringing himself close to Cardassia has slowly heated up his thoughts like a crucible. His anger boiled and bubbled inside, having to be right next door to them.

 

This fury reached it’s pinnacle when a civilian Cardassian, not a Starfleet officer like my colleague Dr. Arsala Chevok, joined the station’s crew. To Mogg’s mind it seemed like the ultimate insult that an average Cardassian could be a chief of staff, as if the whole dominion war was for naught. When the event in question happened, Mogg was already in a great position of stress, having to operate his Operations post during a crucial move. When Gabrel Zog said something that could have been taken badly, it shattered all of the fragile safeguards in Mogg’s mind. The floodgates opened and released all the hatred that had accumulated. When Mogg deeply insulted Gabrel with phrases like “the stench of Cardassian” it was not he who he was insulting, it was the guards and overseers who ran the camp his father was in, it was the secretary who wrote the pathetic apology letter, it was everyone but Gabrel. Mr. Gabrel just became the unfortuante victim of the oral assault. During this, Mogg had no control of what he was doing. He was under a form of temporary insanity caused by heavy trauma.

 

This is not likely to be the end of Mogg’s condition; just one explosion of anger is not going to be enough. By studying the record of the examination and also the works of other doctors’ analysis’ of the Ferengi mind looking at the natural obsession with profit and winning and the revulsion to loss it is my prediction that sooner or later something like this could easily happen again if help is not given. I do not recommend medication or anything so rash. I simply believe that it would be healthy if he began some therapy with a member of medical staff. This therapy will involve him getting to grips with the past and learning to finally forgive and achieve closure. Whilst doing so I believe he could get back to performing his duties to the high standards he has always done up to now.
