So second chapter. It will probably still have grammar mistakes, but cut me some slack. I'm still in middle school. Not quite sure it's that good but here you have it any way.

P.S. I gave up on trying to write Chekov's accent. Deal with it and imagine it in your heads.

On board the Enterprise 2.3 light days later

"Have you noticed that the captain's been a bit tense lately?" Sulu asked Uhura knowing she must have seen a change in their captain's demeanor.

Uhura sighed inwardly and and looked across her food toward Sulu. He seemed a bit anxious as if to make sure he wasn't over reacting over nothing. "After all" she thought to herself "their captain can be a bit strange at times." She pondered on his question for another moment before answering. "He has seemed a little on edge. It started when he told us we would be one of the starships witnessing Kodos' trial."

"So it wasn't just me." Sulu said, relief etched in his voice.

"What about the Kodos trial?" Inquired young Ensign Chekov.

"Sulu was just asking if I've noticed the Captain's strange behavior lately. Speaking of which have you noticed Chekov?"

"Yes I have. I was worried that I may have been the only one." Chekov replied with worry clear in his eyes. "Do you think it may have been cause by the Kodos trail. It can't be the stress though. Getting the ship was more stressful" Chekov explained his reasoning, just thinking of the Narada incident gave him a headache now.

"It could be be the Kodos trial. He seemed stiff when he gave the order, remember?" Sulu added to the expanding idea. "Maybe he had a friend, or a relative who died in the Tarsus massacre."

"Maybe." Uhura partially agreed. Then she made up her mind "I'm going to go ask Bones. You to coming?"

Without waiting for their response Uhura walked determinedly toward the medbay. The two boys left in her wake glanced at eachother then scrambled after a determined communications officer.

In Medbay

Looking up from his PADD Leonard McCoy saw Uhura with her face set, along with Sulu and Chekov looking confused behind her walk into his medbay. Wondering what they were doing here during their lunch break McCoy set down his PADD and motioned to some chairs before any of them could start. "Jim?" he asked.

A few stunned nods met his inquiry. They didn't expect Bones to know their purpose already. In his head Bones quickly thought "Damn it the Kodos trial. Jim must be acting strange for all of them to notice."

"What did he do this time?" Bones asked gruffly, trying not to a raise suspicions about Jim's past.

"He's been acting strange." Uhura supplied adding "Ever since he announced we'd be watching the Kodos trial." Watching Bones she waited for his response.

Bones studied the three of them for a moment before surprising them with a laugh. "The person responsible for killing four thousand people is dead, then is on trial for his crimes, and only nine people who can confirm it's him. I wonder why he might be nervous about seeing the man who killed his aunt and uncle, and seeing one of the poor souls who saw him with their own eyes testifying? Do you guys have any idea?"

Satisfied that they were reassured when they visibly relaxed, Bones made a mental note to tell Jim that they knew this much of his history. "At least they won't be interrogating Jim himself" he thought. "If they knew he was there, more or less out of the four thousand survivors one of the nine who saw them. . ." Mentally shaking himself out of his thoughts so he didn't think of their reactions if they knew the truth. He himself had to wait for Jim to be very, very drunk to learn it.

"I'm not sure about you guys but I have a job to do." Bones said bluntly, turning back to his PADD. Without looking up he heard them shuffle away back to their own stations.

Without school I seem to have a lot of time to write. Both chapters have been about 700-1000 words long give or take. When school starts again there will be larger pauses in between posts.

I tried my best with the characters but feel like they could have been done better. Sorry. Also sorry for grammar mistakes. I do my best.
