Also, you said hybrid vigor, which I love you for, because Psock really has the strength of both species- and the pontetntial weaknesses!
And talk of Romulans- whoo!
And talk of ethics an dmorality just like in Old Trek! Yayness!
And Kirk growing up- but still the star!
*hugs so tight*

I really enjoyed getting into a swinging McCoy/Spock ethical debate. It's how I've always known the characters (I grew up on TOS), and I think it'll still be a big part of the XI characters once things settle down.
Anyway, really glad you got such a kick out of this chapter!

Equally believable is the characterisation, with all the characters at their best but still them. I particularly liked McCoy's switch from joshing to serious medic, and Kirk out for blood.
I look forward to the rest of the stories.
eta: your icon, I love it!

I'm close to getting my veterinary degree, and I'm definitely borrowing heavily from my field for these stories. I figure Starfleet doctors are a lot like vets--aliens roll across the surgical table, and you try to recall everything you possibly learned about them and cross-reference everything else to species you're more familiar with. You get whatever additional information is available, and then you cross your fingers and pray.
Thanks again for the very kind comment!

Question: 2nd to last paragraph where McCoy is "chief medical examiner", did you mean medical examiner like the people who work in morgues?

As per your question... I may very well have gotten his title wrong. That should probably be chief medical officer. I really should have let my beta rest from vacation before assaulting her...
