Jim supposed that, maybe, since they were docked and he had nothing pressing to do, it would have made more sense to wander the starbase a while, get off the ship. It would’ve been a change of scenery, and maybe, if he had time in the next few days, he would leave, but for now, he needed to spend some time with his girl ( Read more... )

Really, it was just Bones. Why should one really hot night and a hella lot of ship-related stress change the epic Kirk-McCoy dynamic that had kept them thriving at the Academy? It probably had a whole lot to do with growing up and all that panicking and... Oh, to hell with it ( Read more... )

The rec room was unusually quiet for an evening on the ship; with shifts turning over and exhausted crew members eager for relaxation and good company the room was usually at least semi-crowded and abuzz with the din of easy conversation between friends. Regardless, with the exception of a few relatively quiet officers in the far corner, the room ( Read more... )

Shi Maro never really slept; in the absence of night and day its personnel operated on shifts. Nevertheless at this particular moment, coming up on the end of a shift but not yet at the changeover, the corridors were quiet. Only a few people had reason to be moving around.

The air was one of breathless anticipation as all off duty personnel - military and civilian, Aian and Marosi - lined the viewports to watch the Starfleet ship come in to dock.

They dropped out of warp at the edge of the Ravanna system at 10:42 ship time. Adrian would freely admit that he'd been anticipating the moment since he came on shift nearly three hours earlier. The chance to take the ship in on sublights to the coordinates where their Aian escort would meet them was a very welcome one. Caretaking while she was at ( Read more... )

Jim walked into the gym a few hours after dinner, wanting to burn off some energy and make sure he was fir for the upcoming mission ( Read more... )

It was cold. No, that would be an understatement. It was absolutely freezing in Jim's quarters and he half expected a giant red bug-monster to pop out of nowhere and try to eat him any second now. He pulled another blanket around himself and grumbled all the way to the door. How was anyone supposed to actually sleep in temperatures that would make ( Read more... )

It was with a distinct air of purpose that Creed made her way to the conference room for the preliminary briefing. It had been too long in between missions, the lull drawing on long enough that people were starting to get bored. A new assignment was exactly what they needed ( Read more... )

Jim stood and gazed out into the Black as he often did when he was trying to sort things out in his head. Uhura had been gone for a couple of days and he couldn't quite figure out if he missed her or not. A part of him was still convinced that all she wanted from him was a quick rebound, and while he was normally all for that, he had the urge to ( Read more... )
