Ambassador Spock is beaming on; we encountered him some time ago when we thought he was going to defect to the Romulans, but thought he could unite them and the Klingons. It all turned out to be a trick, though.
Shows how much Vulcans know, I suppose.
We are all standing ready in Transporter Room 2. Two figures beam in.
With Spock is another male Vulcan, who is in a Starfleet uniform.
"Greetings, Captain Picard." says Spock.
He gives me the Vulcan hand signal that I am never able to do properly without breaking my fingers; I try, and Spock smiles slightly.
I thought Vulcans had no emotion?
"Welcome to the Enterprise, Ambassador Spock," I reply, then look at the other Vulcan.
"This is Lieutenant Davik" answers Spock, "He is my protege' and will be joining your ship from now on."
I look puzzled.
"I haven't heard anything about this, Ambassador" I say in a slightly protesting voice, although I know what the end result will be.
"Check with Admiral Bollinger." Spock replies, "He agreed with me that there is a marked lack of Vulcans on the ship, and it could do with the enlightenment that we have."
I grate my teeth slightly at this remark.
"Very well, Ambassador." I reply, "We'll find something for him to do."
"Captain Picard." says Davik, as if someone has woke him up, "I am an expert in all forms of Engineering, and would like to be put there."
"Very well." I comment with restraint, "Lieutenant Commander LaForge will take him to Engineering; Commander Riker will assign him quarters."
They both roll their eyes and escort Davik out.
"Now, Captain" continues Spock, "Is it all right if you show me around the ship?"
"Of course" I reply, "Come with me."
As we walk around, Spock is looking around.
"Fascinating." he says to himself.
Why does he always say that?
"I must say" he comments, "Things are remarkably different here than the Enterprise. I used to be on. Even the uniforms are tougher."
"How do you mean, Ambassador?"
"Captain Kirk always managed to get his uniform torn." he replies, "Perhaps it was made of flimsier material. The women are dressed differently here as well. Captain Kirk made it mandatory that all females wore mini-skirts. He had a remarkable memory as well."
"In what way?" I ask.
"He knew the cabin number of every female crew member." Spock answers, "Captain Kirk always seemed rather tired first thing in a morning, for some reason."
"Indeed." I say drily.
We arrive at SickBay; Spock looks around and raises and eyebrow when he sees Beverly and the holographic doctor.
"Fascinating." he comments, "Very different from Doctor McCoy."
"I suppose it is, Ambassador." I reply, "I read that he used to insult you a lot, calling you a 'emotionless green blooded Vulcan' at times."
"That is true, Captain Picard," he tells me, "However Captain Kirk used to call me the same thing when he'd had some secretly imported brandy."
My Com badge goes off.
"Captain" Riker informs me, "We have an emergency."
To be continued...

Looking forward to the next part!
Btw - if I may be so bold as to point out a typo? Captain Kirk would most likely have his uniform taut, rather than taught.
Cpt Kirk is "the" ladies man :)
Dangerous territory here, Captain... Spock has always had such bad luck with his proteges.
Instead of the Vulcan hand signal how about a high five and the hokey pokey followed with the chicken dance of course.
Caramaena, the word should have been 'torn'. I have since corrected this. Thanks.
Mrs M, the hokey pokey might be an easier thing to tackle.
Will Spock be at the party?
Kirk's unifrom did get very taut in the later years. Somehow, he got a tribble on his head, too.
Is Spock really that naive? He must've had a hard time at Starfleet Academy.
I have memories of Spock's whole 'must mate' thing. I think if they 'mated' more often, they'd be a happier people.
I've heard the only parts of the body that keep growing as we get older are the ears and the nose. Looks like it's true for Vulcans, too.
Funny how Spock noticed the absence of mini-skirts. Perhaps he isn't immune to the emotion of lust, he's just good at hiding it.
Kirk always has those shirtless momments
Ellee, if you want Spock to be at the party, it's up to you.
Ptofessor, you might be right about thay.
Sqt, you might be right as well!
