So, I am still learning how to work this site, it is difficult, hence no beta. Thank you to the guest who refused to read my story because my title and summary were not capitalized, I normally make an effort but I was exhausted, I am only human after all. Again, constructive criticism is welcome, but only if you actually read the story.

Onto other matters. I am sorry that it has taken me so long to update, I have a lot going on right now and my internet went down and the company could not send someone out for a month. You guys will be seeing a bit of a romance between Bones and Carly Carmichael. Any suggestions on what else to include in my story would be greatly appreciated. I do not have the end game figured out yet but I am working on it.

Bones did not understand Carly's physiology, nor did he pretend to. Fact of the matter was that no doctor in Star Fleet did. She was an anomaly, she was part Vulcan and part of a rare species that had actually gone extinct thousands of years ago, and all data on them was lost. She was also extremely secretive about her history. What little he did know about her was that, given time, and rest, her body would heal itself from almost anything. He also knew, that she could read minds. This business of healing others came as a bit of a shock. But, then, he had started thinking of all the times he had gone to bed injured and in pain, and woke up much better off than medically possible. He remembered the coma patients that always did better than he had initially expected, and it made sense. He also knew that the name 'Carly Carmichael' was a pseudonym. What her real name was, he had no idea, and not even Pike could pull the strings to find out. She didn't technically exist anywhere. Which meant that technically she could not be a part of the crew to the USS. Enterprise. But, after saving Kirk's hide on Scalos, she had been injured and Bones tried to patch her up. Kirk kept her on as a crew member, his personal Yeoman. She had managed to turn down his every advance, surprisingly. But, even more surprising, was that she had fallen for Bones, and he, in turn, fell for her. By the time Pike found out she was on board, she had made her self too essential to let go, and was allowed to stay as long as she was on Jim's crew.

So yes, I know it is VERY short, but the next thing to happen does not really fit with this chapter so I had to give it its own chapter so y'all wouldn't be confused at the seemingly random tangent. R&R please!
