Spock wandered through the halls; he seemed lost and disoriented. Mr. Riley appeared from the other hall, as he was making his way to the Bridge for his shift.

"Ah, Mr. Spock, good day to you." Riley answered.

Spock simply looked at him with his glazed over eyes.

Riley looked at him, growing concerned.

"Mr. Spock…are you alright?" Riley questioned.

Spock continued glaring at Riley straight in the eyes. After a few seconds, Riley was consumed by Spock's eyes for some unknown reason. After what was about a minute, Riley nodded to Spock. Spock walked off with Riley following him, both of them not saying another word to each other.

In Sickbay…

Captain Kirk and Scotty had requested the immediate attention of Dr. M'Benga to explain Spock's recent behavior that took place this morning on the Bridge.

"He just stomped off from his duties?" Dr. M'Benga questioned, surprised.

Captain Kirk and Scotty both nodded.

"That doesn't sound like Mr. Spock at all." Dr. M'Benga answered.

"And he refuses to listen to any of my commands, especially the one regarding his physical exam by you." Captain Kirk answered.

"Perhaps I could sneak a drug into a piece of food or a drink he'll have later tonight." Dr. M'Benga replied.

"Do you think it'll work?" Scotty questioned.

"It depends,"

"Depends on what," Captain Kirk questioned.

"Whether I can get it passed Spock or not; he's a Vulcan, after all. He's capable of sensing things that are not particularly correct." Dr. M'Benga answered.

"What do yah suppose we do, if it doesn't work, Doctor?" Scotty questioned.

"Be cautious; at this rate, anything could be ailing Mr. Spock, but I won't know what, unless he's examined." Dr. M'Benga answered.

"And if it does work," Captain Kirk replied.

"Then I will start immediately treating him for whatever it is he's ailing from." Dr. M'Benga answered.

"Captain, I think it'd be wise, if we stayed with Dr. McCoy, while Mr. Spock is so unstable." Scotty stated.

"Good thinking, Scotty; Dr. M'Benga, report to us the moment you know anything." Captain Kirk answered.

Dr. M'Benga nodded.

"Understood, Captain Kirk," Dr. M'Benga answered.

Captain Kirk and Scotty nodded and exited out of Sickbay and went to Dr. McCoy's quarters to keep an eye on things and make sure Spock wasn't an immediate threat.

In Dr. McCoy's quarters…

Dr. McCoy was rocking Julia gently in his rocking chair, as she slept peacefully in her father's arms.

"You're such a good girl, you know that?" Dr. McCoy softly cooed.

Julia grunted a little, turned her head a little towards Dr. McCoy's chest, and fell back to sleep. Dr. McCoy couldn't help but chuckle and kissed Julia's little head, then continued rocking her gently. A buzz came from the outside of Dr. McCoy's doors and entered Captain Kirk and Scotty looking worn and weary.

"Jim, Scotty, what's going on," Dr. McCoy asked, concerned.

"It's Spock, Bones," Captain Kirk answered.

"What about Spock,"

"His behavior is growing increasingly worse than before."

"Have you notified Dr. M'Benga?"

"Yes; he plans on sneaking a drug to knock Spock out in some food he plans on eating, later."

"Sneaking a drug into his food; did you tell Spock to report to Sickbay?"

"I tried…he refused my order and stomped off the Bridge."

Dr. McCoy sat there gaping at his captain.

"That doesn't sound like Spock," Dr. McCoy answered.

"I don't know what's going on with him, Bones. I'm beginning to grow worried." Captain Kirk stated.

"It's never a good thing, when something's wrong with Mr. Spock." Scotty stated.

"Scotty's right; Spock's basically the brain of this ship. Without him, the ship simply can't function properly, let alone at all, Jim." Dr. McCoy added.

"I know, Bones…which is why I hope this issue is resolved at once." Captain Kirk answered.

"Dr. McCoy, yah know of any illness that could be causing Mr. Spock to act in such a way?" Scotty questioned the old, country doctor.

"I don't Scotty; I'd have to give Spock a thorough examination to determine such matters." Dr. McCoy answered.

"Well, to inform you, Mr. Scott and I will be staying in her with you, until we figure out what's wrong with Spock." Captain Kirk answered.

"Why is that, Jim?" Dr. McCoy questioned.

"The idea of having you in here all by yourself concerns me…especially when Spock is acting so strangely. God only knows how mentally in tact he is currently."

Dr. McCoy nodded.

"Understood, Jim," Dr. McCoy answered.

Captain Kirk gazed at Dr. McCoy's door and sighed.

"Spock," Captain Kirk muttered.

Somewhere on the Bridge…

Spock was walking on a deck with Riley and Lt. Kyle following behind him. Spock walked over and approached Giotto. Giotto looked up from his work and smiled.

"Good day, Mr. Spock; how are we feeling, today?" Giotto asked, friendly.

Spock glared coldly at Giotto. Giotto gazed deeply into Spock's eyes and was soon enough following Spock around mindlessly, as Riley and Kyle were as before.
