Bones stood and walked towards Jim. There was absolute silence as he approached. Spock moved closer to his brother as a body guard of sorts, though Vulcan's only use Violence in Self defence. There was a deathly silence. Bones looked at Jim.
'Why?' asked Jim 'why did you betray me? I trusted you and I trust so few people anymore outside of my family and off of Vulcan, and I gave that trust to you.'
'Why?' spat McCoy 'Why? Because you ruined everything by being named Surel and being an unparalleled genius. You don't even have the balls to remember. I was a few years out of Med School with a upcoming fellowship. To get it, all I had to do was impress a panel of judges. One of whom was the legendary Surel. I prepared m paper for months prior to the presentation. Had dozens of experts review it. Then I present it and you tear it to pieces. You give the fellowship to anther and ears later, my wife leaves me for him, taking everything I had gained. My money and my daughter. All because of you. I wanted you to know what it felt like to be destroyed, but you won't even do me he courtesy of doing that right. No, you couldn't just let me get the credit for something you did t even want acknowledged.'
'You blame me for things beyond my control.' said Jim 'I am but one person affecting your life. I did not cause you to lose everything. Your paper, if rejected was either poorly researched or made up of everyone's opinions but you own.'
The doors suddenly burst open once again. The ex-Starfleet officer, Winona Kirk stormed in. She looked pissed. She ignored everyone around her and slapped Jim around the face. Jim stared coldly at her.
'You Bastard!' said Winona 'First you have the nerve to live, and then you take away my commission and claim to be a celebrated hero. You are nothing.' She raised her hand again. Aquamarine stepped in and grabbed her wrist. Winona turned to her with anger that soon turned to fear as she saw who held her back. Amiran's were deadly on a good day.
'You know who I am?' she asked. Winona nodded. 'I am Amiran, incapable of lying and by calling Jim a liar, you call me one. In my culture that merits a duel to the death.'
'You have no culture' hissed Winona 'You are nothing but a relic of something that deserved to be destroyed.'
The anger in Aquamarines eyes was terrifying. No one dared to so much as breathe. Aquamarines took her spare hand and wrapped it around Winona's neck and squeezed. Soon all that could be heard was the desperate gasping for air. Spock stepped forward.
'Enough Aquamarine' he said. She didn't seem to be able to hear him. he touché his hand to hers. Gasps were heard throughout the hall. For a Vulcan to touch another like that willingly and in public meant that the one touched had a romantic relationship with them. It was rare that a Vulcan took one of another species as a mate, let alone Aquamarine. She let go of Kirk.
'Know that it is only by my mates mercy that you live' said Aquamarine, confirming everyone's thoughts. Spock then stepped toward Winona.
'As much as I wish you dead,' started Spock 'I will not let your blood taint the hands of my mate. You push my control hard human. You insult my family, people, integrity and mate. You tread on fine ice.
