Tainted Memories
Sometime during the regular comings and goings aboard the meatship, an announcement rings out across all portions of the ship.
||Attention crew,|| Stacy's voice says, ||As significant interest has been shown for it, and enough time has passed since the Nightmare King incident to prevent unnecessary mental issues, the procedure to unlock the memories of the destruction of your homeworlds is now available to all crew members. If you are interested, please proceed to any empty sensorium and I will begin the process.||
A slight pause, then...
||If you have a history of mental issues, please use extra consideration when deciding on whether or not to take the procedure. That is all.||
Should anyone decide to take her up on her offer and head to the sensoriums, they'd find a clean, clinical-looking white room with a dentist-style chair (sans scary drills, of course) in the middle.
||Please, take a seat.||

A needle-tipped tendril pricks Katara's arm, and any emotions still in her mind would begin to fuzz-out slightly.
After a few silent moments, the memories begin to creep back into her mind.
Ba Sing Ce. It was a crisp, clear night outside of Iroh's shop.
Everyone else was inside, celebrating their victory over the Fire Nation, but Katara and Aang were outside, sharing a moment alone together.
A moment which was interrupted when thousands of strange, shimmering lights filled the streets of the city, and out of each one, swarms of large, strange creatures started pouring out, spreading out across the city. They poured into every street, hunting and slaughtering anyone they could find, even tearing buildings apart to get to the horrified citizens.
Both Katara and Aang, though horrified themselves, moved to take action. That was, of course, until an explosion behind them sent them both flying. Aang, unconscious from being flung straight into a nearby wall, lay helpless in a pile of rubble.
Katara struggled back to her feet, only to watch as one of the creatures charged towards her, claw raised to slice her in half.
Suddenly, an extremely bright light begins to cloud her vision, and she is in a dark room on a metal table, being held down by figures that are too hard to make out.
Then, everything fades back to darkness. The memory ends.

And then they came. They destroyed everything, and the memories came flooding to her. The realization hit her like a ton of bricks and she reeled a moment, swallowing,. Now she could see Aang flying away from her, hit unconscious, her eyes widening as she desperately called out to him. But a part of her knew the rest of the story, knew that Aang wasn't gone anymore than Sokka, Toph or Mai were: but they WERE losing everything in an instant, and there was nothing to stop these things. She opened her mouth in fear, but no sound came out, and she screamed in her head.
And she saw the glimpses of others, of her being saved, and of the darkness that Stacy had fed her brain at the times she lost her memory of people she met.
Retreating back to herself, she took sharp intake of breath. She wanted Aang, or Sokka, or any of her friends right now but none of them were here. She could only take these memories within, and even as she felt her tears fall from her face, even as she still felt the loss of life of the people around her, the calm remained. It wasn't just a BG instilled calm, but understanding what a memory like this would be meant to do. The enemy's attack, their obliteration: it was meant to destroy any hope she had, and she could see her own hope falling into hopelessness, and it nearly did it now.
But the voices followed her: Luna. Renne. Billy. Jamie. Ms. Marvel. Arha. The voices followed her too, and were not ones that had fallen into hopelessness. She would persevere too. She had to.
