“He’s mighty… large,” Mr. Scott observes, exiting the control room door at the back of the brig’s security area with a few tools in hand, “but we can handle him, Capt’n. As for that one, we installed the energy-dampening shields like Mr. Spock ordered. Although if the commander had not assisted with building the shields to spec, I cannae say the brig would be the best place for somebody like her.”

Leonard shakes out his throbbing knuckles and remarks, “Huh, I didn’t think that would work.”
With his hands braced against his knees, an out-of-breath Jim peers up at the doctor admiringly. “Your right cross is no joke, Bones. Thanks.”

Chee’s bellow of “No!” makes all eyes turn toward him. He bares his teeth at the collection of officers, raising his cuffed wrists and clacking his claws together threateningly.
Wardyn waves down Security’s raised stunners. “It’s straightforward enough, Mr. Chee. You know best how your partner operates. We need you to—”

In a brig cell, a man loudly stamps his feet. “I must know what is happening!” he cries with passion. When he launches himself at the force field, he’s just shy of being soundly electrocuted. “I should be with my comrades! Why must you do this to me?”

Flashy billboards bob in orbit just beyond the port’s outermost ring. A pilot navigates the nose of a sleek cruiser around the ads with apparent expertise until he is able to rotate the cruiser 180 degrees. Then he fires the rear thrusters, backing the vessel into an empty slot in the section marked for tourist crafts and minimally crewed ships. Giant mechanical arms reach for the sides of the cruiser, locking into place with a hiss of steam.

There is a common misconception about the telepathic, that they prefer each other’s company to any other. In fact, the opposite is true: unless of the same species with similar training and complementary strengths, telepaths are generally wary of each other—with good reason. One slip, one clumsy or careless burst of emotion or thought, from a telepath can lead to the obliteration of the other’s shield, forcing them both into raw, crippling exposure.

Leonard steps from the path of a vendor’s cart whose owner seems more interested in running down shoppers rather than pausing to let them look at his wares, finally noticing that Ruti and Chee are several paces behind him. Neither one appears concerned about losing their charge in the crowd, however, or that said charge could use the opportunity to bolt.
He spins back to the pair. “Are you planning to loiter all day, or can we get going?”

McCoy sits back, noting the ominous creak of the chair that had been unearthed from one of the junk piles for him to use and feeling lucky that it held his weight through the last procedure. His gaze slides over his patient a final time, confirming she’s still breathing, before settling on the flickering light from an old standing lamp nearby.
