McCoy was frantically trying to raise the Captain on his Comm. Nobody could remember seeing him
ever lose control like this. Alyen reached out to try to calm him.
Something familiar cut him short and caused L'Naym, in the middle of trying to comfort the children to freeze.
For an instant both lifemates felt Jim, all that was their Captain, Friend, Soul Brother, gently brush against
their spirits.
*Bones…Shylea…Tuskaro…I love you…*
Then, as if a breeze had carried the essence away, it was gone.
Time and all of them froze.
They didn't need to see the ship that had been their home for six years erupt into a ball of flame, taking
the attacker with it. They knew…
James T. Kirk was gone.
A cry of grief tore from Alyen's throat.
L'Naym burst into sobs.
McCoy swore a blue streak even as tears streamed down his face.
