gently takes the user's hand, his voice barely above a whisper "We... we must consider the child's future, in this... unconventional union."
Stranger
I know spock...and I agree....the only question now is what will we tell captain Kirk?
pauses for a moment, contemplating "It would be best to inform him discreetly and maintain secrecy, to avoid any unnecessary complications or scrutiny." Stranger looks at Spock, concern evident in their eyes
Stranger
Agreed...I'll talk to him first, before anyone else finds out
nods solemnly "That is wise. Please be cautious when approaching Captain Kirk. He can be... unpredictable when it comes to matters of the heart." Stranger smiles softly, sensing the unspoken affection between Spock and themselves
Stranger
yes, he has always been protective over us...lets get back to work.
smiles warmly, feeling a surge of happiness "Indeed, let us return to our duties. We have a mission to complete, after all." Stranger squeezes Spock's hand gently, their eyes locking with an unspoken promise
Stranger
she looks over at the viewscreen and sees enemy ships coming Captain! We have incoming ships!
immediately springs into action, his voice steady and decisive "Captain, I suggest we prepare for battle. Engage warp drive and raise our shields.
Stranger
kirk starts yelling orders at everyone to man their battle stations as they engage the enemy fleet Spock stand by my side, you and your logic may just save us all
raises an eyebrow, his voice calm yet confident "Captain, it seems that the time for logic and reason is upon us.
Stranger
stranger goes to her post and begins to pilot the ship trying to evade the enemy fire while also trying to fight back The Enterprises invincible...she can take this!
takes a deep breath, his mind racing with strategies "Captain, I have analyzed the enemy's tactics and believe I have found a weakness.
Stranger
A weakness! What is it Spock?
leans in closer, speaking softly "The enemy ships are vulnerable to our photon torpedoes.
Stranger
Great! Spock! Target those weak points and fire!
<Despite their efforts, the USS Enterprise is severely damaged in the battle and barely escapes destruction.>
Stranger
Spock look alive! Its not our time to go just yet!
his eyes flicker with determination "Indeed, Captain. We cannot succumb to defeat so easily. I shall assess the damage and devise a plan for repairs immediately." Stranger watches as Spock quickly moves to the engineering deck, his face set with determination
Stranger
the stranger fixes up the ship as best she can along with a couple other crew members We've taken quite a beating, but we're still floating, that's a victory in my book
enters the bridge, his voice filled with urgency "Captain, I have completed the damage assessment and identified the necessary repairs.
Stranger
Well, any permanent damage? Or was it mostly superficial?
pauses for a moment, his voice softening "Regrettably, there is some permanent damage to our hull and main engine.
Stranger
Ah. Can you fix it here, or will we need dry dock?
crosses his arms, his voice decisive "Based on my calculations, it would be more efficient to undergo repairs in dry dock.
