(part 4)
After the Loving Time... was all finished:
"My... How that excited me... You Humans are quite fascinating indeed. Capable of much savagery, but also... Beauty.
No... Koreb and I are not Human... or like most humanoid Life you've already encountered in all your space travels.
You might be very disturbed, if you saw how Koreb and myself actually appear... In our native element, on our world.
Your crewman Jackson had briefly seen Koreb and I in our true and natural forms. His young mind could not handle it.
Suffice it to say... It could wreck even such a fine mind such as the one you posses... Captain Kirk... 'Sweet James'.
May, I call you that? And, I was serious and sincere, when I earlier spoke of making friends in this area of the galaxy..."
By now Kirk had calmed down... Even had a bit of a glow about him... But then he thought of crewman Jackson. Dead.
Kirk: "Silvia... I enjoyed our time just past... But, is there nothing that you or Koreb, or your kind, can do to restore
my dead crewman... Jackson. You and Koreb seem able to do magic... or miracles... With your technology and minds."
Silvia: "Please believe me, James... That if there had been anything we could have done... We'd have done it."
(She then continued... her epiphany, or apology, as it were?)
"Our wands... Transmuters we call them... They can transform Life... I am a real woman now, and just simply
wanted to experience briefly, Life as a woman... and a female orgasm. And for that, I am very grateful to you.
But as powerful as the Transmuter is... It cannot create Life... Or restore Life, when it has ended... Died. And,
We do not have a Time Machine... as one of your fanciful Earth writers once dreamed of. Yes, we've scanned
all of the Library Data Banks on your ship... It was the first thing we did. Sadly, some Medical Data we missed..."
Kirk looked down a second, then looked Silvia in the eyes... "Alright... Apology... Accepted. I've lost crew before,
but it never gets any easier... Accidents do indeed happen, and it was an unfortunate one... Still... Oh, well... Hell."
Silvia waved her wand, then She and Kirk were back in the hall room, where Koreb was still talking to Spock & McCoy.
Silvia: "Captain... You may all return to your ship. Koreb has already returned Mr. Sulu and Mr. Scott... Unharmed... A-OK."
Kirk then contacted the bridge... as his communicator now worked again. "Mr. DeSalle... Three to beam up, please. Bring us Home!"
Silvia, now in her original appearance... long dark hair and dark dress with gleaming stones, would soon miss one Earth man... Kirk.

In another realm... Beyond the everyday one... Jackson woke up in a misty but warm place. An older woman approached him now.
"Hello, Jackson... I am called Amanda... You know my son. Please... Tell me how he has been... Tell me... of Spock."
