T'Lora sighed as she walked down the hallway to the bridge. She had to admit that she was disappointed in herself. She thought she would've been capable of staying on the Enterprise for more than one day. Then again, what was keeping her from leaving? The only people that were nice to her were Kirk and Scotty. She sighed looking up to see Spock stop in the middle of the hallway and turned into a room.
"Spock?" she said walking in his direction. "Mr. Spock?"
She opened the door of the briefing room, finding Spock sitting in front of a monitor.
"Mr. Spock, what are you doing?" T'Lora asked.
She walked toward him, seeing he was working out multiplication problems. T'Lora could tell there was something wrong with Spock. She noticed his slightly shaking hands and the sweat on his forehead.
"Spock, you're infected!" she gasped kneeling next to him.
"Infected?" he asked.
"With that disease. I tried warning you about it before Sulu attacked."
Spock looked at her before turning back to his multiplication tables. He couldn't believe he was infected with a disease that was removing all logic. T'Lora watched him worried as he began struggling with math so simple a child could do it.
"Spock…" T'Lora said watching. "Spock, what's wrong?"
For the first time since she had been on the ship, Spock was beginning to show an emotion.
"I'm in control of my emotions…" Spock said looking at the monitor. "Control of my emotions…I am an officer…an officer."
"Spock!" T'Lora said grabbing his shoulders. "Spock, look at me! I know you're an officer. You should be proud. This disease is messing up your self-control!"
"My duty…" Spock continued rambling as he tried to pull away. "My duty is…is. My duty is to, to…too late. I'm sorry…"
She gasped as she saw a tear in the corner of Spock's eye.
"Spock…you're crying!"
He pulled away from her as he continued to cry. He didn't any sympathy from her. He wanted to be rid of this disease. T'Lora was hurt seeing him like this. Sure they didn't know each other well, but T'Lora and Spock were one and the same. They were both half-human, half-Vulcan. She understood his pain and wanted to help him.
"Spock, look at me!" she said grabbing him by the shoulders.
She wanted to snap Spock out of his feverish rage. T'Lora looked at him and pressed her lips to his. It wasn't normal for Vulcans to kiss, but then again, they weren't fully Vulcan.
The doors opened allowing Kirk to come inside. He was shocked when he saw his best officer and new nurse in the briefing room kissing. This was something he never expected from Spock.
"Spock…" he said surprised.
T'Lora gasped as she pulled away.
"Nothing happened", she quickly said.
