Prologue

"Scotty prepare to beam us up" Captain James T. Kirk commanded through the communicator. The Captain, Mr. Spock, Dr. Leonard h. McCoy, Ensign Chekov, and Lt. Sulu (for his experience in botany) had beamed down to the surface of a newly charted, uninhabited planet to study the plant life there, and see if the planet was able to support humanoid life forms. "Aye Sir." Mr. Scott responded "prepared to beam ya up."

Lights were quickly swirling around the landing and before you could say "Scotty loves his Scotch" the landing party was beamed onto the transporter pad. Everyone followed Kirk off the pad except for Dr. McCoy who seemed to be glued to the ground. His face was pale, his hands clenched his stomach as he rocked back and forth on his feet as if he was about to fall over. "Bones!" Jim exclaimed "Are ya alright!"McCoy's hands dropped but he still looked pale and unsteady on his feet. He took a deep breath before shakily saying "Ya...ya … I'm okay… just your stupid transported scrambling my molacules." Kirk slowly nodded. "Okay, now I want all of you to take the samples you took to the lab to get analyzed then I want you to-""KEPTEIN!" Chekov exclaimed in his cute Russian accent. "Um… Yes Mr. Chekov what is it?" "Keptein it's Mister Spock he'z gone! Jim looked around the transporter room and sure enough Spock was nowhere to be found.

Scotty ran over to the control panel and immediately started pressing buttons. "Scotty… where is he?" the Captain asked, hopeful that Mr. Scott would have an answer. "It was some sort a' power surge that caused the transporter to malfunction Captain" Scotty said furiously punched in numbers on the consol. "AHA!" Scotty exclaimed " There should be no trouble bringin' on board all his molecules are just suspended in space… here just a' sec let me lock onto him… annnd Got Him!"

The transporter lights started flashing and then a whirring sound hummed in the air. Just before Spock was beamed aboard Scotty stared at the beaming calculations and noticed that Spock weighed a lot less than when he beamed down. "That's weird" he commented half to himself. "What's weird?" Kirk demanded "Scotty… What Weird?" just then the lights swirled and Spock's clothes were beamed aboard. "Scotty what the HECK HAPPENED" He bellowed "WHERE'S SPOCK?" "b-but Captain he's right there!" Scotty replied shakily. Kirk's head whirled around to examine the pile of clothing when he noticed amongst the bundle a small pointed ear was sticking out. McCoy and Jim shared a glance, and then both ran up to the transporter pad. Jim picked up the small bundle. Sure enough there was Spock sleeping peacefully in Jim's arms covered by his science officer shirt which was now more of a night gown.

"Jim what the H-" Jim cut him off "Bones quick get him down to sickbay, Scotty find out about that transporter malfunction, and the rest of you not a word to anyone" 'yet' he thought to himself.
