Photoshop Madonna.
(note, this was for my Girlfriend's B-day. It wasn't meant to be a one shot but it is...)
"Doctor, May I have a word with you?" asked the USS Enterprise's first officer and Science Officer, entering sick bay with the doors swishing shut behind him and a white piece of paper in hand.
" 'Course Spock. What can this old country doctor do for you?" Answered Dr. McCoy walking toward Commander Spock.
"I have found this picture on the Enterprise's message board. I have reason to believe that you created it." Spock held up the picture. The Doctor burst out laughing and so did a purple-haired girl being treated on the bio-bed directly behind him. The picture was of Commander Spock dressed in a pointy bra, a off the shoulder pink sweater, a blond wig , fishnets, a tight short skirt and a pair of black leather boots.
"Spock, despite the fact I like making fun of you, I didn't make that picture. Isn't there equipment in the science lab you can use to test what photo editing software was used on it?"asked Dr McCoy.
"Excuse me gentlemen, but may I have a look at that picture? I studied photo manipulation as part of my double major in 'Fleet academy. I can probably tell what was used to make it, and then after it you can search the database to see who on-board has that technology." Said the girl who had been laughing before.
"Aren't you suppose to be on duty Lit. Meliany?" Asked Spock
"Nope. Captain gave me two hours off for bereavement leave . Another one of the security officers I was courting offed herself. Decided since I was basically the cause of death for 1/4th the female members of the crew that I only get two hours instead of the standard two days. So you gonna let me see the picture?"
"Here." said Spock handing it over.
"It was made using photo shop 100.6 . Paint would have far more vibrant colours and simply put anything else hasn't been used since the early 22 century. It was also probably made by someone with only beginners knowledge in Photoshop, as the work has a few obvious flaws."
" Like?" asked the doctor.
"Like the skin tones. Their close but not close enough. Gray scale would hide the flaw."
"Ah. Do you know anyone on the ship with this photoshop ?"
" I do, I think Sulu does, I burnt Christine a copy, and I burnt Captain Kirk a copy."
"Thank you Lieutenant ." Said Spock leaving Sickbay as abruptly as he came.
'Helmsman Sulu's personal log Stardate 1689.6 . operation: try to get Captain Kirk and Commander Spock together is, thus far, a success. Meliany has so far pinned the blame on me and Christine as planned. Everything is running like clockwork. Hopefully the actual creator of the picture won't be found too quickly.
In other news, another female security officer killed herself.

Sulu out.'
