Enterprise is safe to fly another day. All thanks to Captain James T. Kirk’s sacrifice. He’s made peace with his death, even though it breaks his heart one final time to see the hurt in Spock’s eyes. Still, the last thing he gets to see is the face of one of his dearest friends… until his eyes snap back open. Not in a hospital. In a shuttle as it lands at the Academy.
“Once you exit the shuttle you are free to return to your dorms. Those of you who are new, you’ll follow me to registration and physicals,” a vaguely familiar-looking officer says, and Jim’s heart stops in his chest. Surprising, considering it shouldn’t be beating at all.
