I own nothing of Star Trek or any other series that might pop up. This is an AU

Subject: Who weeps for the gods?

I'm so tired. I just spent the last ten hours repairing damage to the outer haul along with several other engineers. How did we get damaged? A giant green hand from Pollux IV reached out and grabbed us. Then, get this, the god Apollo demanded that we stay. So Jim, and Len too Chekov, Scotty and Lt. Palamas, our resident anthropologist/archaeologist down to the planet to 'speak' to said deity. I of course had to pull a double shift…again. In fact I don't think I've been off duty the past 72 hours. Better not tell the boys, I don't need to get yelled at today, I already have a headache.

Anyway down they went, and I don't think I imagined it when I saw Scotty giving looks to Lt. Palamas…hmmm. I'll have to tease him about that later.

While they did that I worked with Spock to find a way to get the green glowing hand to let the ship go. He scanned for a power source and I worked to find a way to break the force field that held us. It had to be a force field, so don't go on with your sarcastic 'it could be godly powers' crap.

Moving on, according to Chekov, since I haven't seen anyone else, Apollo wanted us to come down and settle on Pollux IV as his 'children' and worship him. Yeah like that would happen. Then the old boy got the hots for Lt. Palamas, much to Scotty's irritation. He actually pulled a phaser on the alien! He didn't get a chance to shoot, but he tried in any case. I'm so proud! Apparently the alien could actually change sizes as well. From a normal 6 foot person to a towering 50 feet! So not the best opponent to have.

In the end Spock found the power source and we worked the ship's lasers to brake through the force field and destroy the power source of the god. Chekov felt bad for the alien, since he got all sad and faded away, upset that he could not be a 'father' to us. Needless to say we got out of there fast. Though we had to slow to impulse power so we can repair the damages done to the haul. There are actual fingerprints on the shell of the ship!

Sigh, I just got my second wind. Good thing too, I have to go down and finish some work that got put off. I might actually reach a record for days awake. Hope neither Jim nor Len find out…

Speaking of which, did I tell you what they gave me for Christmas? I'm sure I have. If I haven't I'll tell you. If I have you'll hear it again! They got me a gorgeous ring, it's gold, silver and bronze all woven together! It's to symbolize our marriage! Isn't that sweet?

I know, you don't care, and I heard about the email threats you sent to them. Very creative really.

I think I'll leave on that note.

Take care of yourself. Don't get killed.

Love,

Lexi
