Chapter 1
Stardate 7856.4
The Enterprise is observing a normal type star with a planet in orbit around it looking
strangely, very much like earth. But the scanners show the
population to be more at the time of the medieval earth. The captain
wishes to discuss with the away- team, how to study this strange planet…
"You are not bloody going down there!" McCoy was being his usual
illogical self. First officer Spock thought to himself as he entered the
conference room. But when the captain was being his illogical self
what could be expected?(Even though the captain was grinning at his
medical officer in a way to worm himself out of the doctor's ire.)
With what happened last time the captain went on an away mission,
the captain was not, as a human's saying in the cards today.
Because the captain had almost lost his life to an attack from what the
Navigator would describe as a dinosaur.
"The doctor was not in a mint julep would he let Jim go down
to a backwards planet in the near future!". Spock almost sigh,
but caught himself not letting his humanness get the better of him.
Sometimes his captain,( he caught himself again) his friend was always
seemed in his humanness to get himself in more trouble than usual.
When he had the time to calculate the ratio of how Jim Kirk could and
did get himself in so many illogical situations it defied all logic.
But this new planet which still mystified him gave him a new
understanding of Vulcan logic. New mysteries in different situations
always made him content, with something new to look at in the study
of the universe. As he watched the captain and Dr. McCoy he saw
that the doctor had finally convince Jim to stay aboard the
Enterprise while he and the away- team studied this new planet and its
people. One thing that he was looking at on the planet was a castle,
(from space it looked to be quite a fortress). He had
listened to the way they talked and it seems to be a peaceable planet,
not because of not having enemies but because of who the rulers were
on the planet. He would just wait and see while the away- team was
finally discussed and who would be joining it and also finding clothes that
would be able to fit in to the culture without giving themselves away.
Spock was trying not to show his humanness with the doctor as usual
"now remember you pointed ear hobgoblin, you are not getting yourself
in some hair brain idea, just a look see and come back" he blustered in
his doctor's voice. Spock tried not to irritate the doctor when he was in
one of his moods with him being just a "country doctor". So Spock tried
not to let his humanness show. He almost thought to himself" yes
mother". It was almost pleasant to think how the doctor could
sense when he was being teased without him saying a word. that
was the way Jim and Spock and the doctor were to each other.
Without letting their friendship show they all understood what the
other was saying without saying it. As he walked out of the
conference room to the transporter station he could almost feel the
captain longing to sneak away to look at this strange planet. McCoy,
sensing that kept himself close to the captain just to remind him of
not doing that. The captain still followed Spock to the transporter
reminding him not to get too fascinated and not to forget to get back at
eve tide standard . With that, Scotty transported him down to a world that
would challenge him and all he believed and thought but for the better.
