Nightshift 45: West Wing, North Hall 1-B

He turned his mind to the issue of Captain Kirk. Upon further reflection, it was painfully obviously that he'd been brainwashed or at least had fallen to Stockholm syndrome. What would cause that so quickly though, was a mystery to Chekov. It had to be something akin to brainwashing--short term brainwashing at least. Or possession by some higher entity that the Captain was now doing battle with in his mind. But these were just ideas.
The better question, he thought, was what would he and Commander Spock do once they'd tracked down Bill? Commander Spock must have had some kind of plan, otherwise he wouldn't have suggested putting this particular mission into action. From what Chekov could tell of his conversation with Bill, there wasn't much of Captain Kirk left--even if his mannerisms were similar. At least, they were similar to when Captain Kirk had taken command of the Enterprise and gave the ultimatum: either Nero was going down, or they were.
