In one quick motion, Spock Prime dashed behind the machine console to hide his naked form to all of the people staring at him. He felt very disoriented and dizzy but slowly his memories were coming back. He had almost been murdered. He looked up at Reese who was just as confused and shocked as everyone else.
"Okay, enough of this," one of the pirates said and took out a phaser to point at Spock Prime.
Spock ran up and hit the phaser out of her arm right as all the other pirates started pointing their weapons at him.
"Well...this didn't exactly go as planned...but you still lost, Captain. I still have you ship captured in orbit by my men and–" Reese was interrupted by a low humming noise that was growing louder and louder.
Then, suddenly, the walls of the boat house collapsed as Sulu piloted a shuttle right through them. Five security men jumped out of the shuttle holding disruptors. And that's when the fight broke out. Starfleet officers and pirates were punching, kicking, shooting each other, trying desperately to pin the other down so one could make a quick escape.
Spock Prime was still behind the console– completely naked– still trying to figure out exactly what was happening. He turned to see one of the pirates' backpacks laying on the ground a few feet from him. Quickly, trying unsuccessfully to cover himself, he grabbed the pack and pulled out a pair of black work out shorts and pulled them on.
One of the pirates ran toward Spock Prime's position and tried to hit him with the butt of his disruptor. Swiftly, Spock Prime raised his hands, caught the disruptor, flung it, and then flipped the pirate over his back and onto the hard ground. He shook his head, unable to believe his own strength.
The away team was winning the brawl and Kirk told everyone to hop onto the shuttle. Spock Prime ran toward the shuttle, punching another pirate in the face and kicking another in the stomach along the way. He jumped inside the shuttle and Sulu closed the door.
Inside, everyone stared at him. He started to get obviously uncomfortable.
"Bones, check him out," Kirk said.
Doctor McCoy ran his medical tricorder over Spock Prime and looked at the results.
"Well, that contraption rearranged his molecules. So instead of him aging quickly in a small amount of time, he grew younger in a small amount of time," McCoy said.
"That's possible?" Kirk asked.
"Theoretically," Spock commented.
"But Reese said they used it to grow food...why would they need it to do the opposite?" Uhura asked, desperately trying not to stare at the gorgeous half-naked body in front of her.
"They were recycling," Spock said.
Kirk looked at him.
"If they had food that would otherwise rot and go to waste, this was a good way to recycle the food into something that was edible again," he explained.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, will somebody please tell me what happened?" Sulu asked confused.
"I seem to have been...recycled..." Spock Prime said.
Uhura held her breath at his deep voice.
"You feeling alright, Stivan?" Kirk asked.
"Yes, I am unharmed. But it was not a very joyous experience."
"I'll say," McCoy commented as he read through his tricorder readings again.
"Well," Kirk said looking at Spock Prime, "we'll figure this out soon enough."
