Tribble's Log – Name: Puck
Stardate: umm….Q?
I'm Puck. At least that was what the human/Vulcan 'Spock' refers to me as. He says it's due to Dr. McCoy's called of him by the name Hobgoblin and that puck is a hobgoblin in the Shakespearian work of literature. Or something like that. It's better being in his custody then that odd Harry Mud. I was on the ship by Kirk's chair, minding my own business, when Spock begins talking about the little noises us tribbles make. I am so very sorry if I make a cooing sound! Like I can help it? And it's not like I'm going to bite you! I don't have teeth! Or a mouth for that matter…but that's besides the point.
So, he picks me up and starts petting me. (I had such a crick in the small, almost inexistent spine and it felt good) and says exactly this:
"The tribbles seems to make a cooing sound. Fortunately, I am…Immune…to it." And yes, he is still petting me. I make another cooing sound. I like the one called Spock. He puts me down out of sheer embarrassment. He says he has no emotions. Us tribbles trigger it. I gleep out of his facial expression. That happens once in a stardate. What is a stardate? A think it's a random stream of numbers but I should probably look it up.
Later, Spock comes back, recognizes me, and smuggles me into his quarters. I'm surprised at this and no body discovered me. Shortly after he leaves and I have 7 kids. Don't ask me how it works. They all run away, but I stay in Spock's quarters. Soon, the captain Kirk comes in with Spock. They're talking about the tribble trouble and proceed to an odd game. There were mutterings of '3rd level bishop' or 'Check. Better move your 1st and 2nd rook.'
I naturally hide. I may be a tribble but the doctor did dissect one of us –creepy isn't it?- and in fact, we do have brains. Maybe they are the size of peanuts…
So, I'm sitting here when the intercom is blaring 'Some weird grain type has been eaten by tribbles!' Ok, so clearly now the answer is to beam us on to a kling-on ship! 'Logically.' My owner would say. I disagree with Vulcan philosophy.
I didn't even eat the stupid wheat! So Spock's looking around for his phaser and it's right next to me so I grab it –cause I'm nice- and for a minute he gives up his shell and smiles a little bit, and comments, 'I did not know they realized…no I am a Vulcan.' Then shortly walks out. All my 7 babies are all now very fat. Before they were beamed aboard the kling-on ship, one raved that after falling out of the grain capsule, he touched Kirk's shoulder. I laughed at that. Who cares? I'm the pet and STILL AM of the first officer. Eat that, Ralph!
