Prompt: Scotty, McCoy – A photo of coffee beans


The Deal

″Can you fix it?″ The Doctor actually sounded worried.

Scotty took in the hunk of metal and plastic that had been McCoy's prized coffee maker - quite a pricey one if the label was an indication and very well-loved judging by the McCoy's face – and shook his head sadly. ″I'm afraid not, Doctor. Looks like it took quite a hit in that last jolt, there'll be no resurrectin' it.″

McCoy looked positively crestfallen and Scotty couldn't stop the surge of sympathy that ran though him. I'll tell you what, though. If you'll be willing to share some o' those choice beans I know you've got stashed away in your cabin, I'd be willing to fix you up with a new coffeemaker of my own design.″

McCoy looked slightly alarmed at the prospect, which chafed a bit considering all those transporter malfunctions were inot/i his fault, but then Scotty saw him glance over to the storage bay that currently housed his slight-outside-of-regulation still.

″You've got yourself a deal.″

Scotty smiled and held out his hand. ″Excellent doing business with you, Doctor McCoy.″
