AUTHOR'S NOTE: I remember watching this movie years ago with friends; we had fun, and soon I forgot all about it. I purchased the DVD for a good price and it has all three movies...WHOO HOO. My older sister was a serious Trekkie; I was more into characters, I LOVED Chekov and I tended to watch episodes that had him in them more than any other character. I loved that he was young and smart, and Spock respected his intelligence. SO anyway, I re-watched Star Trek 2009 a few weeks ago and remembered how much I LOVED it. Anton Yelchin as Chekov was AWESOME; and even though he is gone(I HATE that his death is referred to as an 'ACCIDENT'. Jeep is at fault; they damn well KNEW their electronic shifters were faulty _) SO I came up with this Fanfiction staring our beloved Russian Whiz-Kid. :-)...not only bthat but it also addresses Kirks libidinous approach to being friendly with alien worlds...ENJOY.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing and NO BODY...as far as I know the alien race and planet came from my own mind.
The Enterprise floated in orbit around a planet about the same size as Earth; the atmosphere had subtle differences, but it was breathable and lacked the years of human pollution. To establish relations with the inhabitants Captain Kirk had taken a small away team to the surface that consisted of Uhura, Sulu, and himself. Uhura was a genius of languages spoken throughout the cosmos, Sulu had combat experience and he was very personable, and Kirk was trying to get them to join the Federation. Spock had argued that he should accompany the away team, and that it was foolish for the Captain of the vessel to leave the ship. Kirk had responded that perhaps the few inhabitants would need a more human approach, than an unfeeling logical one. Many hours had passed and the bridge shift monitoring the away team had changed. The natives of the world wore clothes woven from plant fibers, and most of their main food sources were plant based. They farmed, and enjoyed weather that was normally clement. They had tamed some of their native wildlife to help them in their day to day tasks, but they lacked the greed which led to extinctions of wild species, unlike humans. Kirk compared them to being like hippies or naturalists. The people on the planet were bipeds, with sapphire eyes and smooth hairless skin that featured ridges, and some even had horn like projections on their heads and faces. Their bodies held none of the defining details of mammalian physiology. The tribe was ruled by a royal family, with elders and advisors at the ready. They seemed friendly and even though they lived primitive like they were smart and had enough technology to suit their needs.
