I should have been done with the story, but... Okay so, I haven't seen Star Trek Beyond yet. I don't know if/when I will see it. I heard that it was good and there are some scenes on YouTube, but I am trying (but not succeeding) to not watch anything. But I know about the ending. So for all of you guys that seen it, what do you think of it and do you guys have anything you want Jasmine to do? I know that the crew is separated. Do you want Jasmine to be with Scotty, Jim and Chekov, Uhura, Sulu, Bones and Spock, or do you want Jasmine to be on alone and eventually meet up with some of the crew. I don't know what year the movie take place to figure out what age Spock and Jasmine's son will be. And I don't know if I want them to have another child (not during the mission. Having Jasmine pregnant with an bad guy on the loose is a bad idea) before they went off to the planet. Just let me know what you guys think, okay?
Chapter 6
"Are you out of your con-fed mind?" Bones asked Jim. Couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You're not actually going to listen to this guy? He killed Pike, he almost killed you, and now you think it's a good idea to pop open a torpedo because he dated you to," Bones turned to Jasmine. "Jasmine, talk some sense into your brother."
After Jasmine and Jim left Harrison, Jim made a call to Scotty about the coordinates. Jim wanted Scotty to go and see what was there. And now Jim was talking to Jasmine, Spock, and Bones about opening one of the torpedoes. Jasmine think it's a bad idea because she does not trust Harrison one bit.
"Jim-"
Jasmine wanted to talk to some sense into Jim, but he didn't want her opinion. "Why did he save our lives, Bones?"
"The Doctor does have a point, Captain," even Spock thinks it's a bad idea.
"Don't agree with me, Spock. It makes me very comfortable."
"Perhaps you too, should learn to govern your emotions, Doctor. In this situation, logic dictates…"
"Logic?" Jasmine looked at Spock. Jim, Bones, and Spock were surprised to hear her speak. "Spock, do you hear yourself? That psycho was trying to kill us! I don't think we should trust the bastard. And on the top of that, there's a maniac trying to make us blow up our own dam ship and-"
"That's not it," Jim pointed at Jasmine. "I don't know why he surrendered, but that's not it. Look, we're gonna open a torpedo. The question is how."
"But Jim," Bones began to speak, "without Mr. Scott on board, who exactly is qualified to just pop open a four-ton stick of dynamite?"
"The admiral's daughter appeared to have interest in the torpedoes and she is a weapons specialist," Jasmine raised her eyebrow at him. "Perhaps she could be of some use."
"What Admiral's daughter?" Jim asked, clearly not knowing who is Spock talking about.
"Carol Marcus. Your new science officer concealed her identity to board the ship."
"Did you know about this?" Jim asked Jasmine, who shook her head. "When were you going to tell me that?" Jim asked Spock.
"When it became relevant. As it just did," Spock calmly answered.
Jim exited the bridge. Jasmine watched her brother leave and turned to her husband.
"When were you going to tell me?" Jasmine scoffed. "So you're going to keep secrets from me?"
Before Spock could even open his mouth, Jasmine walked to her station.

"Captain on the bridge!" Sulu announced to the crew.
"Mr. Sulu, have Doctors Marcus and McCoy landed on the planetoid yet?" Jim asked while looked out in space.
"Yes, sir. They're moving the torpedo into position now."
"Good. Any activity from the Klingons?" Jim asked.
"Not yet?" Sulu answered back. "But if we're stuck here much longer, they will find us."
"Lieutenant Uhura, did you let Starfleet know we have Harrison in custody?"
"Yes, sir," Uhura answered. "No response yet."
Jim was confused. Why wasn't Starfleet responding to the Enterprise?
"Engineering to bridge," Chekov said. "Hello. Captain, can you hear me?"
"Mr. Chekov, give me some good news."
"We found the leak, sir, but the damage is substantial. We're working on it."
"Any idea what caused it?" Jim asked.
"No, sir. But I accept full responsibility."
Jasmine smiled. Chekov was adorable to take the blame of something that he didn't do.
"Something tells me it wasn't your fault. Stay on it."
"Shuttle is standing by, Captain," Sulu announced.
"Bones, thanks for helping out," Jim told Bones. "Dr. Marcus asked for the steadiest hands on the ship."
"You know, when I dreamt about being stuck on a deserted planet with a gorgeous woman, there was no torpedo!"
"Dr. McCoy, can you please not flirt? This is no time to flirt," Jasmine said to him.
"So how can these legendary hands help you, Dr. Marcus?"
"Bones," Jasmine and Jim groaned.
"To understand how powerful these weapons are; we need to open the warhead. To do that, we need to access the fuel compartment. Unfortunately for us, the warhead on these weapons are live."
"Sweetheart, I once performed an emergency C- section on a pregnant Gorn. Octuplets. And let me tell you, those little bastards bite," Bones groaned. "I think I can work some magic on your missile."
Sulu turned to Jasmine and saw her face turn green. Jasmine, unfortunately, was there when Bones did the emergency C-section. Jasmine was still pregnant at the time.
"Dr. McCoy, there's a bundle of fiber optic cables against the inner casing. You'll need to cut the 23rd wire down. Whatever you do, do not touch anything else. Do you understand?"
"Right. The thought never crossed my mind."
"Dr. McCoy, wait for my word. I'm rerouting the detonation processor. Are you ready?" She asked.
"And raring."
"Good luck."
On the Enterprise, the crew heard a yell.
"Sir, the torpedo just armed itself," Sulu told the Captain.
"The warhead's gonna detonate in 30 seconds, sir!" Jasmine tried to stay calm.
"What the hell happened? I can't get my arm out!"
"Target their signal. Beam them back right now," Jim ordered,
"The transporter cannot differentiate between Dr. McCoy and the torpedo. We cannot beam back one without the other," Spock informed.
"Dr. Marcus, can you disarm it?"
"I'm trying! I'm trying!"
"Jim, get her the hell out of here!" Bones demanded.
"No! If you beam me back, he dies! Just let me do it!"
Jasmine looked back at Jim with concern in her eyes. She doesn't want Bones to die. Bones was like a brother to her.
"Ten. Nine. Eight," Bones count downed.
"Standing by to transport Dr. Marcus on your command, sir."
Bones grunted, "Four. Three."
"Shit!"
The crew heard the torpedo powers were down. Jasmine had her hand over her heart to calm herself.
"Deactivation successful, Captain." Spock told Jim.
"Dr. McCoy, are you all right?" Jim asked over the radio. "Bones!"
"Jim? You're going to want to see this."
