It has come to my attention that there is another James Kirk on board this Enterprise: you. A fascinating notion, this concept of doubling and redoubling.
In an effort to understand the overlap of universes, I would like to speak with you on the subject. Are you available?
Spock.

Perhaps, if Spock did not touch him, he would never know. After all, he'd been angry those few hours, hardly himself, making demands and offers in turn to see if one would stick. He was in much better control, here and now.
Spock did not have to suspect a thing.

Spock sat at a table in the corner, out of the way of the humans coming and going but with a good view of the stars. She was... fond of them.
It also gave her a good view of the door, to watch for this latest iteration of her Jim.

Still. James looked around, waiting.

Spock stood.

Yet another Spock had stood him up.
Though she was looking at him with a certain sort of cool recognition, and he took another look, puzzled.

She raised her hand in the traditional greeting.
"Live long and propser."

"Spock," he said finally, nodding. "It's a pleasure."

Fascinating.
"Will you sit?"

It might be a trick.
"So... what happened?"

"There was a transporter malfunction. I have begun work to reverse the effect, of course."

And it wasn't as if transporter malfunctions leading to new bodies was altogether new to him.
"Of course," he said. So this was the Spock shacked up with his other self. Damn lucky man, he thought. Who would have thought? Maybe she was softer than she was as a male. "Seems strange we haven't met before," he continued casually.

He kept looking at her breasts.
"Has your experience here been satisfactory?"
Reply
"Inasmuch as I'm not home," he said with something like affability. "Everyone's been very pleasant." Certain Vulcans not included. "I'm sure, however, that everyone wishes to return to their universes of origin. Don't you?"

The constant interruptions were not helping.
"A counterpart has made considerable progress."
Reply
"How close?"
Reply
"You are remarkably similar to my mate. Yet you are an unknown. I find it wiser not to share the specifics of that information at this time."
