Repulsion

Lt. Boma reluctantly stepped onto the shuttlecraft. He settled himself into one of the two remaining open seats and waited. He really hadn't wanted to be sent on this mission. Well, the mission wasn't really the problem. The problem was the ranking officer. Boma struggled to repress his repulsion as Commander Spock boarded the shuttle and gave the command to take off. Boma didn't like Vulcans. He didn't like their pointy ears or their dark eyes or their unnatural mind tricks. Vulcans were not like humans and that made Boma uncomfortable. Boma suddenly snapped to attention, feeling Spock's eyes on him. He couldn't tell if the Vulcan was reading his mind or not.


A/N: Sorry, picking on Boma from The Galileo Seven. That episode upsets me a bit, actually. Not only does the Galileo crew turn on Spock, Kirk leads the entire bridge in laughing at Spock. It's one thing for Kirk and Bones to do that sort of thing among the three of them, but it's not okay to have the entire bridge mocking the first officer. End rant.
