"Guys, Dr. McCoy's dying!" Sally cried.
"What," A man named Steve gasped.
"And Captain Kirk is planning on killing him, too!"
"You have to go alert a security man!"
"Where's old man Giotto?!" Timothy asked.
Sally lifted out her communicator and called for Giotto.
"Giotto, it's Sally; come in, Giotto!" Sally begged.
"What is it, Sally," Giotto questioned.
"It's Dr. McCoy; he's dying from a fatal disease." Sally stated.
Giotto sighed.
"Yes, sadly, Nurse Chapel has already informed us on the doctor's fatal condition. It doesn't sound like he has long." Giotto sadly spoke.
"And Captain Kirk plans on killing him!"
"He what," Giotto replied. I knew it.
"But don't tell anyone you know this, especially Captain Kirk. He'll kill the dying man, otherwise!"
"I knew Dr. McCoy wouldn't try to kill anybody!"
"Exactly...wait...what,"
"Nevermind, Sally; just stay put where you are. I'll handle Captain Kirk."
"You might wanna keep Mr. Spock and Mr. Scott out of the loop, as well. God knows how they'll react to the news."
"Good thinking, Sally; Giotto out!"
Giotto caught up with Willy and Jake, relayed the updated situation, and they looked at each other in disbelief.
"What would make Captain Kirk snap to wish to kill Dr. McCoy, though?" One man asked.
"I don't know, but we must ensure that Dr. McCoy's last days on the ship are full of safety and kindness. Hopefully, he'll die peacefully, before Captain Kirk decides to plot his crime." Giotto answered.
"What do we do, then, sir?"
"Go back to the security room and wait for orders from Mr. Spock, I guess."
The three men nodded and left Sickbay.
Captain Kirk, Spock, and Scotty entered onto to the Bridge, and Uhura was sobbing her eyes out at her station. Sulu and Chekov were concerningly quiet at their stations, as they thought of Dr. McCoy's slow and painful death upon them.
"Uhura, what is it," Captain Kirk asked, kindly.
"Why, Captain...why," She bawled.
"I do not believe we follow what you mean, Lieutenant." Spock calmly, answered.
"Why him, Captain...why, why, why?!" Uhura sobbed.
"Uhura, why what," Captain Kirk begged.
"Dr. McCoy's...dying...sir," Uhura wailed. She was now in hysterics.
"How did she find out, sir?!" Scotty cried.
Uhura couldn't answer; she was too far into her crying episode.
"Captain, I believe that someone overheard us speak of Dr. McCoy's terminal condition, when Mr. Scott told us the news." Spock answered.
"And once our shift is done, I am determined to find out who that 'little bird' is." Captain Kirk answered, angered.
Captain Kirk, Spock, and Scotty walked to their stations and continued out their duties.
"Mr. Sulu, anything new from Starfleet Command?" Captain Kirk questioned.
"Aye, sir; our next mission is to travel to Proximia IX." Sulu answered.
"How long will that be, Mr. Chekov?" Captain Kirk questioned.
"About 4.8 days, Captain," Chekov answered.
"Good...that gives I, Spock, and Scotty time to find this blabber mouth." Captain Kirk spoke, the last part only to himself.
