What good is a medical license if the only way to save your dying captain is over a communications channel?

This is a missing scene from the episode "Rebirth." Previously published on a Yahoo mailing list.

6 years after the Tenctonese ship crashed in the Mojave Desert, Detectives Matt Sykes and George Francisco investigate death and worse. First published in Sardonac 20 years ago.

Even with support from family and friends, starting out on one's own isn't the easiest thing to do.

A Captain can't be a Captain if he can't speak, and, after being taken hostage and tortured, speech is something Kirk seems to be having a problem with. Chances are good it is a temporary condition, but the thought prevails...what if it's not?

Tarsus was many years ago. Sometimes that doesn't matter. Bones wonders why he didn't see it before. Jim just wants to be left alone.

Just what makes up a family? Matt soon finds that bonds of his family's love goes deeper than he thought possible. Finally this is done! Finished! I guess you could say "That's all Folks"

Matt is attacked and brutalized. Marvin Gardens comes to comfort him, but Matt isn't all that comfortable so Marvin takes him to George. Slash. Lots and lots of slash.
