Author's Note:
Greetings and salutations sirs and madams. As I promised last chapter this one is lighter and it also focuses on Scotty. Thank you for your support for this story and I hope you like this chapter.
Amazingly enough I still don't own Star Trek.
Whiskey Revenge
Scotty had been enjoying his nice quiet day.
Things in Engineering had been running smoothly and as such it was as peaceful as it could get down there. He had taken the opportunity to have some well deserved time to himself, not that he didn't enjoy the company of the rest of the Command Crew because he did but sometimes a man needed some quality time alone with a dram of whiskey. He was sat comfortably in a secluded corner near the warp core where he could feel and hear the low hum of his beloved ship (he and Jim had never quite agreed on whose ship it was).
He was just about to take a sip of his favourite beverage when suddenly the whole ship was rocked violently; thankfully the whiskey bottle wasn't thrown to the floor and damaged but the glass in his hand was a goner. Alarms blared as people ran to their emergency stations and, grabbing the bottle, Scotty shot off to get damage reports and find out what was happening. He screeched to a halt when several figures began to materialise in front of him, it seemed that the Enterprise's shields were down allowing their enemy to beam aboard. Scotty had just enough time to register that the boarders were armed before one took aim at him and fired. He threw himself to the side to avoid the shot and it narrowly missed him, he dived for cover and then realised that the boarder had hit the bottle in his hand shattering it and spilling its contents across the floor. His whiskey was ruined and that was also his last bottle.
Scotty's eyes burned with anger, his whiskey would be avenged!
As soon as they were boarded Jim had got a security team ready and they charged straight to Engineering but their help was going to be completely unnecessary.
They arrived just in time to see the boarders running for their lives screaming to be beamed back aboard their ship, close behind them was Scotty who was charging after them screaming what was most likely a mix of swear words, death threats and insults in Gaelic. Jim and the security officers just watched dumfounded as the Scotsman chased them around Engineering occasionally knocking one of them out with a highly accurate and savagely thrown tool. Eventually Scotty caught up with them and onlookers actually began wincing as he began to beat the boarders up and Jim was certain that a couple off them would no longer be able to have children. A short while later the boarders were piled in a heap groaning and Scotty merely dusted himself off before stalking off leaving Jim and the security team to deal with getting them to the brig.
People eventually found out what happened afterwards and Jim got Scotty a replacement bottle, he also warned everyone to not anger the engineer and to never touch the Scotsman's whiskey.
PS-So there we go and I hope you liked that. I'm still looking for story suggestions and a couple of people have given me some which I'm considering but more would be great.
