Star Trek: Picard

In the third season of Star Trek: Picard, he portrayed Vadic. Vadic and nine other “brothers and sisters” were taken as prisoners of war at Daystrom Station during the Dominion War in the 2370s. There, they were imprisoned as part of a covert Federation operation known as “Project Proteus” and tortured. In order to make the Changelings into “perfect spies” for the Federation, it was planned to manufacture an evolution in them that would enable them to perfectly mimic the morphology, physiology, and cell biology of any species and evade blood tests and other detection techniques.

Vadic finally took her shape in order to remind herself of her hatred and killed the scientist who had experimented on her. After releasing her fellow inmates, she discovered that, if they were ready to suffer a reduced life span and ongoing discomfort, she could join with other Changelings and pass on her heightened shapeshifting powers. Thus, following the conflict, Vadic organized a sect of like-minded Changelings that sought retribution against the Federation, causing a rift in the Great Link.

When the Titan crew found out that Vadic was collaborating with the Borg, her side was able to effectively plot the takeover of the Federation. They found Picard’s modified DNA and used it to infect the transporter system and mainframe of Starfleet. As a result, the Borg was able to absorb Starfleet and start assuming control. It was up to the crew of the USS Enterprise-D to oppose them. Admiral Beverly Crusher found and detained Vadic’s Changeling infiltrators in Starfleet following the defeat of the Borg. Due to Vadic and her allies’ incessant thirst for information, Starfleet discovered that several of its targets—including Tuvok—had been kept alive and eventually rescued.

Miranda, a physics student, experienced hallucinations and paranoid delusions before being diagnosed with schizophrenia. Though terrorists were tracking her, she eventually determined that her phone had been bugged by the Soviets. Tin foil covered her apartment to keep her safe. A predator named Thomas Mathers planned a spree of rapes while following her. To keep herself sane, Miranda covered the kitchen with tin.

Mathers murdered and sexually assaulted another woman two nights later. Margo, Miranda’s sister, gives the investigators information about the crime scene and her residence. Mathers’s blood and his words said during the rape are discovered. When Cole walks the same path again, she discovers surveillance cameras and Mathers’ illness. Mathers is accused, put to trial, and found guilty of every offense. But Cole committed herself prior to Mathers’ arraignment due to her rape trauma and hallucinations.
