"Aye, sir," Sulu replied.
"Sensor readings?"
"It appears to be a ship, Captain. I believe you can. . .fit inside it, if you choose to. Standard atmospheric conditions inside." Kirk nodded, abrupt and decisive again.
"Spock, Bones, join me in the transporter room. We're beaming over." She rose and headed for the door. "Mr. Sulu, you have the conn."
"C--captain?" Spock stuttered.
"Janelle? Are you sure about this?" Bones followed Kirk up to the lift.
"Nope. But it's a giant book; doesn't that sound like fun?" she grinned.
"Loads. Can we at least take phasers?" asked Spock, joining them in the small space.
"Yes," Kirk pronounced. "Set them to stun."
"Phasers to stun. Heh." Spock snickered. Bones gave her a curious look.
". . . What was that?"
Spock shook herself, shrugging. "Just always hoped to find a contextually relevant way to say that."
"Oh, it's relevant, all right. We are on a starship. In space. I can't think of any place that phrase would be more relevant."
"Pretty much." The lift was quiet for a moment. "Hey, guys."
Bones gave Spock another look. Kirk glanced over from her reverie. "What?"
"We're on a star ship. Going on an away mission."
"Yeah? So?"
"Just wanted to point that out. Makes me happy, is all."
"Just wanted to point that out. Makes me happy, is all."
Bones shook her head, wrinkling her nose. "Okay, then." Kirk gave a brief smile, then surveyed the lift.
"Hey . . . are we even moving?"
". . .I don't think so."
"Deck five."
The lift sped down the shaft.
This is super entertaining to me, and I love it. I hope there is more!
