Description
"You've become a liability to this ship and crew. Logically, I must relieve you of your duties..."At last, three of my favourite obsessions — 19th-century Great Mouse Detective and Sherlock Holmes with 24th-century Star Trek — merged and mingled as one little, parodistic crossover, brought to you by me and, pushing my hesitancy aside, I am pleased to introduce the adventures of Star Trek: Titus:
The beloved Chief Engineer of the Multi-Vector-class USS Titus (NX-74910) is the Terran Lieutenant Gaebril Oisin (played by Oscar Milde). His eccentric charisma, paradoxical wit, narcissistic ego, and uninhibited coquetry were often the talk of Starfleet Academy, graduating top-ten in his class. He is renowned for passing the notorious Kobayashi Maru test on his first try and served aboard the Springfield-class USS Melmoth (NCC-51900). In early-2367, USS Melmoth was one of the thirty-nine ships annihilated in the Battle of Wolf 359, a terrible confrontation between the Federation and the Borg. Oisin was one of two hundred individuals (out of 11,000) that survived the attack and, to make matters worse, during the attack, he was infected by Borg nanoprobes, but his natural immune system managed to keep them under control before the doctors were able to destroy and flush out the nanobots by subjecting him to a radiation — potentially painful, lethal dose. He survived, physically, yet was left psychologically scarred and emotionally unstable; Oisin was committed to a mental institution for a year, an experience which tarnished his reputation, and returned to active duty on Centaur-class USS Speranza (NCC-41854); he later transfers to the USS Titus as Chief Engineer.
An accident sends the USS Titus into the parallel "Mirror Universe" at the Gamma Quadrant, where the one ship stands in the middle of a war between the Dominion and the Borg, led by Weyoun of Borg . The USS Titus joins the "Mirror Universe" Dominion against the Borg Collective and encounters "Mirror" Selsar — as an ally. However, Lieutenant Gaebril Oisin, seeing the Borg again, is flooded by his old memories and voices. Captain Serek voices his concern that he could possibly relapse, becoming a "dangerous liability" to the ship and crew, and forced to relieve him from duty to his dismay.

Starship 'Titus'...very funny.
Poor guy. Sound's like he's really been in a mess. To live being assimilated, that's an astounding feat. But like the few others who have it does leave emotional scars. How can it not?
So is this like GMD in that the mice are in the ship with humans and run around behind the scenes in their own little world or is it like Robin Hood where they replace the people?
I would LOVE to see more Star Trek mice!!

It would be like ROBIN HOOD where animals take the human roles. I thought "Titus" was a cute tribute and, so far, there's not Titus ship in STAR TREK.
Poor Oisin. I see him as a character who is really just a mess, psychologically and emotionally, so he hides it behind a mask because that's the only way he could deal with life. He's too much a coward to kill himself, so he just sleepwalks through life. Yes, he's polite, he's kind, and everyone likes him, but I feel he doesn't really any intimate relationship with any of them. He's practically an ILLUSION of himself and NO ONE KNOWS THERE'S A PROBLEM...
I never understood how Starfleet never had...people with psychological disorders. Sure you had Barclay, but what about people with antisocial personality disorder, psychopathy, bipolar disorder, chronic depression, etc? Yes, the military has psych exams, but that doesn't stop from a few slipping through. Why do all of them have to be highly intelligent, emotionally sane, humbly confident, insanely boring individuals?

Hmm. My theory is medical science. Many (not all but many) emotional disorders are caused by chemical imbalances. In the future there are probably lab tests that can identify these and also effective (emphasize 'effective') treatments and medications.
p.s. love Barclay btw.

Emotional disorders, yes, but psychological disorders, no. A good chuck of psychological disorders has nothing to do with chemical or hormonal imbalances. It's trauma. It's not something you can cure with medicine.
What I hate about the future is that there's no there's a lack of "abnormalcy." People don't have problems, people always get along, and that's just bullshit. This is why I love DS9. There's interpersonal conflict. You can't just say "No one in the future has problems. Everything in the future has been cured." If that's so, that's almost like saying no one in the future is unique in a way, which goes against everything the Federation supposedly stands for.

Oh, God forbid! I just hadn't checked it out at the time.
In fact, I had right afterwards and commented on it. I love the
anagram and all!

Dear Mr. Milde in his Titus counterpart, impressive how he's given an expression that's not as common from his more popular smiling, coy and charismatic demeanor; here, he's got that look of painful memories mixed with feelings of doubt, considering his conduct was very disagreeable while on duty. Makes one feel pity for him. He seems to have that "...What did I just do?" look with feelings of regret.

I feel terrible for him, too, but I think it's time for Oscar to get tortured.
