OMG SECOND POST

The lessons learned from the destruction of USS Kelvin, therefore, as outlined by Pike and Li, lend credence to the burgeoning movement by Sitak, Kuznetsov and Tlyrr proportionately to increase the size of the Constitution class starships by 120 per cent.

Spock looked up from the terminal. "The Enterprise on which I served was a third the size of this vessel."

"Yeah, we build them bigger and better in my timeline," Kirk said, grinning.

"I believe," Spock said, the folds at the edges of his eyes crinkling into a smile, "that you would therefore call this timeline a 'size queen'."

Hee! I love that even on an alternate timeline, Spock Prime still gets along with Kirk :)

"Hey, Nyota, how d'you say 'I told you so' in Romulan?"

"Fuck you too, Captain."

"Funny, I was pretty sure the Romulan word for that was something else." Kirk grinned up from the table as Uhura brought her tray over to where he, Chekov and Spock were sitting.

"Oh, it is," Uhura said, sweetly. "But Subcommander Karok was still interested in you. I gave her your personal subspace comm routing. She was very interested in getting to know you further at the Neutral Zone conference.

Kirk looked chagrined.

"Could be worse, Keptin," Chekov said. "Vith me, it vas a Tellarite."

A+! Kirk and Uhura were marvelous

"I cannot believe you."

"Bones--"

"On your first mission."

"I was--"

"Our first mission."

"She only--"

"Jim, your goddamn dick is blue."

"I--what?"

"And I'm pretty sure it wasn't that color last time I sucked you off."

"Jesus, McCoy!" Kirk looked around the sickbay, which was fortunately empty.

"And I'm sure as hell not sucking you off again until I know you're better."

Kirk, damn him, pouted. No, double-damn him, McCoy thought, because that was giving him a half-boner. He snapped the canister into the hypospray and grinned.

"Oh, hell no."

"It has to be intramuscular."

"So hypospray my neck--ow!"

AHAHA! This is fabulous. :D

LMAO reprises of the hypospray scene are always welcome :D Awesome.

*snorfle* XD Gods, that's brilliant. McCoy sure knows how to dish out payback. *evil grin*

AWESOME.

Enterprise dreamed.

More accurately, the subatomic crystalline particles comprising the memory banks, during the routine period of the third, "graveyard", watch, entered into auto-repairing maintenance subroutines once the crew's demands on its processing resources declined.

01011001011011110111010100100000011101110110010101110010011001010010000001101001011011100111001101101001011001000110010100100000011011010110010100101110

Artifacts and content gleaned from the previous diurnal cycle passed from the memory core through the main processing functions and were indexed, compressed, organized, and passed through to either long-term storage or short-term memory.

Seven and a half hours later, as one of her thousand people awoke, Enterprise awoke again.

Back planetside, Jim packs the belongings of his old roommate (deceased). Never the neatest person, and hardly one he ever saw or cared to know, he gathers his possessions nebulously scattered in the flat and can’t seem to stop making comparisons to the sight of broken Federation vessels set against the violent red of Vulcan.

Staff members of the academy come by, startled to find boxes stacked side by side, a life tucked into squares. Jim greets them softly and turns back over on his bed, cradling bruised ribs.

Later, after the ceremony, the Enterprise’s new captain apologizes to Spock.

I like this. I like this a lot. It's poignant.

Wow, that's heartbreaking...

Trudge, trudge, trudge. Spock sighs to himself. It is a blessedly, wonderfully familiar sensation.

"No, Captain, I cannot tell you who won Federation Idol this year."

Trudge, trudge. Another sigh.

"Was it the Andorian? I bet it was the Andorian. That flute, man..."

Trudge, trudge, crunch, trudge. The ice is beginning to become smoother to walk over.

"I wonder if you can--"

"No. It is not physiologically possible."

Trudge. Stop. Silence, except the blowing wind and snow.

"I didn't even finish my sentence, Spock! You don't know what I--"

Turn, crunch, eyebrow.

"Captain. We have met."

Turn, trudge, trudge, trudge.

ROFL! XD Too hilarious. Makes perfect sense for Kirk to try to get as much trivia out of Spock Prime as he could.

ROFL

LOL, freaking hilarious xD xD

Uhura ends up writing to Gaila's people.

In flawless Orion. Uhura appreciates the triple person and inessive case in the language, although it's difficult to get the color signifiers right for the subjunctive case.

Even though they're not Gaila's blood family. Uhura and Gaila had got drunk one night and Gaila had told her of Andri and Sarla and Rixo, who had spirited her away to freedom.

Without mentioning the code that Kirk -- Captain Kirk -- had uploaded through Galia's terminal to the Kobayashi Maru scenario datastores. Uhura herself only just found out.

With tears running down her face.

Oh, I enjoyed this. Very precise and almost poetic, in a sense that's very, very Uhura. And I like that you used the little deleted scene trivia, RE: just how Kirk cheated on the test.

And that last line. Perfect. ♥

James Kirk stumbles out of the shuttle, Leonard McCoy on his heels, the two of them almost landing flat on their faces.

“You two connected at the hip?” Capt. Christopher Pike asks. “Head to the Quartermaster, Building 16.” He shoves a holopad into Kirk’s hand. “Think you can manage to navigate?”

Kirk straightens, clears his throat, looks offended. “Uh, yeah.” He stares at the image illuminating off the pad.

“Three years?” Pike shakes his head. “If you’re here after three weeks, Kirk, we’ll have a party.”

McCoy smiles, takes the pad and points across the quad. “Order the Saurian brandy.”
