The Training Exercise Part 1

Spock followed his friends onto the training exercise ship. He carefully ascended the gangplank

and arrived on the bridge.

"Now." said Kirk in a commanding manner. "I have here envelopes with jobs in it. We are all to

take our envelope and read our position and job. It could be anything."

Kirk took his envelope and opened it slowly, a superior look on his face. He unfolded the piece of

paper…his face fell.

Spock raised an eyebrow.

"Well…" said Uhura "what are you?"

Kirk coughed "Ahem, well, I erm…"

"What is it Jim?" asked Scotty in an interested manner.

"I…er…Navigator." Kirk blurted out at obvious great personal pain.

Chekov cursed "Vhy…Vhy…" he muttered.

It was Sulu's turn next. He emerged with a stony look on his face "Communications!" he muttered

"and I can't speak a word of alien languages."

Spock sighed and crossed his arms.

Scotty turned out to be the pilot and Uhura the science officer. It was McCoy's turn after that. "I'm

gonna be the captain for sure!" he said with a sly grin.

"Illogical." blurted Spock "The odds of you becoming a Captain are 33.3 recurring%, NOT as

favourable as you make out."

"Ah…well…there's a thing called luck…" he said with a hopeful smile.

"WHAT…NOOOOOOOOOOO…" he let out a dull moan "Engineering…and second in command."

Spock read the envelope and raised an eyebrow. Chekov hit himself. "I'm the surgeon aren't I…"

he said in dismay. Spock shook his head slowly. Chekov ripped open the envelope and punched

the air.

"You got Captain? That is so unfair Chekov!" Kirk groaned.

"Call me Captain Chekov." said Chekov with an evil grin.

"That is illogical." blurted out Spock without being able to stop himself "You are merely Captain for

a training exercise."

"Take him to ze brig! Security?"

"Illogical." Spock continued "We do not possess a brig or security."

Chekov dismissed Spock with a wave of the hand "Get down to sickbay Doctor Spock."

McCoy glowered at Chekov.

"You too McCoy!" Chekov ordered "Get down to Engineering."

"Look here!" said McCoy irately "I'm a doctor, not an Engineer!"

"Now, you're an Engineer." said Scotty, siding with Chekov.

"Or would you prefer to join Doctor Spock?" Chekov threatened.

"What, in sickbay?" said McCoy hopefully.

"Yes, with a broken arm."

McCoy glared at Chekov and disappeared in the lift.

"Get to work, all of you!" Chekov ordered.

Everyone hurried to their places.
