Note: I decided that this will be slighly AU and will grow to be more AU
with an original character of mine joining much later. All your favorite
characters will be here though.
~Part 2~ The Doctor and The Vulcan
The captains greeting 'party' was very uneventful to say the least, and Jim was rather relieved when it was called to an end.
Walking the empty halls, he reflected on his shipmates and how accurate their profiles were. Doctor McCoy had been the surprising one. Jim did not associate the Doctor to a man who would get himself into an argument with one of his fellow officers and then end up losing, and swearing under his breath. He pictured McCoy as an older, more layed back kind of guy.
Smiling to himself, he thought back to the conversation McCoy had with Mr. Spock.
earlier that day
"I don't care what you say Spock, alcohol is good for you."
"Perhaps, but not on a regular basis doctor. Also, by consuming great amounts, one is almost certain to get, what is commonly known as a hangover."
The doctor, consuming his normal amount for the day, and then some, kept right on going.
"But Spock, it is a proven fact that having a glass of wine everyday with your meal is good for you."
"I agree doctor, but consuming as much as you have, not even considering that it is not wine, can do harmfull damage to your liver."
McCoy was fighting a losing battle, and he knew it.
"I don't drink like this all the time."
"That is a logical statement, besides, it would not help the ships crew any if we always had a drunken doctor." He said then looked around. "Excuse me doctor."
McCoy just sighed and looked up at his captian.
"That vulcan never gives up."
Jim just smiled and sat with his medical advisor. Niether one of them saw Spock the rest of the night.

Spock was different, he had to admit. Logic seemed to be in full around his first officer. The profile on Spock was completely accurate as far as he could tell, and that was fine with him.
"Ah, Captain."
Jim turned around as he heard someone call to him.
"Mr. Spock, what can I do for you?"
"I was told it is customary for the crew to greet their captain with well wishes, so I wish you luck and all my assistance."
"Thank you Mr. Spock, I am gratefull to have your loyalty."
His last statement almost sounded like a question, but the vulcan nodded and started toward his quarters.
Jim thought for a moment then went into his room and looked over some more information, mostly on the ship's design and make. After only about five minutes, he sat it aside and went to sleep.
The next few weeks would prove challenging for the entire crew, and the loyalty of those under Captain Kirk.

Okay, I know this is kind of slow, but it will be picking up in the next few parts. Reviews are wonderful!
