I own NOTHING

The meeting had begun. Spock was still attempting to get used to the fact that he was no longer in his own body. It was a strange sensation, most fascinating. If the situation weren't so dire he would have attempted to study the phenomenon closer.
As it was however, he was just trying not to fall over when he walked. He hadn't realized until now that Dr. McCoy was so much shorter than he was which caused him to have almost no center of balance when he walked as McCoy.
The meeting consisted of all the bridge personnel, plus the other 15 that had been switched.
The ship had gone through a flux in space; anyone who had been touching another living thing directly had been changed.
The worst case yet reported had been ensign Tomalley switching places with a neighbor's dog. Spock watched with a scientist's detachment as Tomalley desperately tried to get the attention of his body, which was chasing its 'tail'.
Spock steepled his fingers as the Captain tried to get the attention of all those present. Something he found hard to do because he was now in Yeoman Rand's body, beehive and all.
"Ahem" he (she?) said several times over the din, but to no avail. Finally, Rand, in the captain's body stood up and yelled;
"SHUT UP! THE CAPTAIN IS TALKING!"
"Thank you, Yeoman," Kirk said, trying desperately to pull his skirt down just a little farther. "Before we start, I, uh, need to know who is who."
Spock listened half heartedly as the group sounded off whom they were and with whom they switched. Until finally it was his turn.
"I am Spock," he said simply. "And the good Doctor has current control over my body."
McCoy snorted, causing every one to look at him funny. "Yes, it's true. I really am Dr. McCoy, and I think it a fine piece of irony that he and I switched."
Spock raised an eyebrow. "Irony doctor? It was mere chance that we were in such close proximity."
"Not really," McCoy said, crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair. "Not only did the gravity malfunction, and yes, there was a malfunction, not only did it happen at exactly the right moment. I asked the computer, and it said you came in to my office exactly six minutes and sixty six seconds before the anomaly. So if that isn't a sign I don't know what is."
Spock's other eyebrow rose, causing the Doctor's face to have an unusually calm appearance. "Really Doctor, that you-"
"That's enough." Kirk said, furrowing his brow and fidgeting in the small dress he was now wearing. "We need to get out of this and back into our proper places immediately."
"Why's that Jim? Don't we have some down time?" McCoy said, leaning forward onto the briefing table.
"No, Bones, we don't." He glanced up at the expectant faces of his coworkers (and the dog.) "Because, our bodies won't be able to handle the transformation. Scotty ran the numbers and his calculations give about four weeks to live…" He trailed off at the shocked looks of everyone but Spock, who merely lowered his (?) eyebrows to take on a somber look.
"Oh," McCoy breathed. "I see."
