Hi Everyone, this is the follow on from my long series of single shot tales based around the crew of the Enterprise. I decided to start a new one as 50 chapters is rather a lot. If you want to read the rest of them, they're under Voyages. I have completed 40 out of the 100 list so still have a way to go to complete it, which means plenty more stories on the way. I'll try and keep updates regular but as I am undertaking teacher training, my life is often very very busy so I don't have the time to write. Still. I will come back to this when the time allows and I hope you continue to enjoy the tales.

That was it; there was no way Kirk was going to let that pointy eared, cold brained Vulcan get away with his frosty logic again. He paced back and forth in his quarters, determined to wear out the carpet as he walked. His fists clenched and unclenched as the cool words spoken by his best friend echoed in his head. How dare he think leaving the stranded away team was the only course of action? Did he not know they were his friends down there? Especially Cara, all of them had played in the chess tournament she had organised and now Spock wanted to abandon her. How could he be so cold? The fact that there was at least a hundred angry natives between them and the away team and that a rescue would have to be subtle so as not to alert said natives to their superior tech. Kirk sighed and stopped pacing. Damn it. Kirk took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He turned to the door and strode out of his quarters, there had to be something they could do. He would not leave the team there to die while the rest of them fled to safety, not on his watch.
