"Mr. Harrison, sensor report." Selar demanded stepping from the turbolift onto the bridge. Her voice was strong and her eyes had returned to their normal fiery stare.
"There is definitely an object out there. Though as to what I am unsure, sir." The captain relieved the First Officer and sat down at the chair.
"Mr. Sean hail the Enterprise." She ordered. "Hailing, sir." He stated as both Spock and McCoy stepped for the first time onto the bridge of the USS Audacity, they were surprised to see how advanced it was for another Constitution Class Starship. It look close or even more advanced than the current version of the Enterprise.
On the screen, they expected Captain Kirk to come into view, however instead they saw Commander Spock. "Commander Spock." Selar greeted, raising her hand in a Vulcan salute.
"Captain Selar." He stated, having not yet seen Ambassador Spock in the background. "How can we be of assistance, Captain." The Vulcan commander asked. "If I may be so bold, where is Captain Kirk?" She asked, unsure if she should speak with the First Officer if the Captain did not wish it.
"He is in Sickbay, momentarily I am in command of the bridge." Spock replied. Selar raised an eyebrow to this yet said nothing against the matter. "Very well, Mr. Spock. I believe you would be a sufficient officer to speak with."
"I believe I would."
"Very well. As we come into sensor range of this unidentified object, it will take both of our tractor beams in order to maintain this object in our grasp. We are in need of your assistance to this, may you offer your help in this matter?"
"Indeed, Captain."
"I express gratitude for your cooperation."
"It is our pleasure."
"We also need you to have phasers and torpedoes on standby, for if this object is not the Enterprise, and indeed an alien vessel we must be ready for any intended or unintended attack toward our vessels. We must also ask that you later help us locate the red matter substance used in the time of the one you deem as Nero."
To this Spock seemed uneasy.
"I assure you, we will not fire upon you."
At that moment Spock realized the Ambassador in the background as he stepped to the side of the Captain. He raised eyebrow to this, obvious shock came upon his face, shock only another Vulcan could notice.
"Mr. Spock."
"Commander Spock."
"I did not realize you were aboard the Audacity."
"I have been ever since we entered the anomaly."
"I see..." His voice trailed off.
"Mr. Spock, I assure you the Captain's intentions are sincere."
"They are indeed, I am the one who mentioned them to her. We are sincere in our intentions." McCoy stepped in.
"Please do us the favor of believing us." He added.
"Who are you?" Spock asked, rather bluntly towards the old man.
"I am Dr. Leonard H. McCoy."
"I do not believe such a claim."
"You stubborn Vulcans, can't you simply believe a man for his words?"
"Perhaps."
"Dammit Spock, what the hell, I'm a Doctor not a diplomat, make this man believe my words."
At that moment a man from the background stepped in of which Selar remembered as Dr. McCoy. His face looked like a scowl, clearly like that of the true Doctor.
"I don't doubt this man, is Doctor McCoy, I mean myself. The obvious scowl on his face, being a doctor and nothing else and the same arguments with the hobgoblin."
The true McCoy raised his eyebrown in a Spock fashion, in his own content to this. He rather liked his opposing self, so far. Though of course, he though he looked better. Well, in his younger years.
"He is, just as I am Spock. There are two of each of you. Kirk, McCoy, Uhura, Sulu, Chekov, all of you."
"We are not discussing the matter of which there are a duplicate of each and every single on of us. That is not the task of hand. We are currently engaged in the search and rescue of the USS Federation Starship Enterprise. And nothing else, for that matter. The question was, will you aide us?" Selar cut in sharply, taking them all by surprise with the hints of sharpness within her voice.
"You are correct in your ways Captain, I will return with the Captain in a moment." A few minuted later Spock returned with Kirk. The man had an emotion upon his face that Selar comprehended as determination, and something else she did not understand.
"Mr. Spock has informed me of your request, I approve it. Tell us what we need to do."
