#logicallybased

Okie dokie. So I went through all 123 pages of my blog and scoured it for any and all unfinished threads that I know that I hadn't dropped due to lack of interest or what have you. I gathered them all up and replied to all of them, and then compiled them into a handy dandy list on my Current Threads page. I made this to keep track of the status of the threads I am currently working on so that if I have replied to something and say tumblr didn't tell you, you can go to this page and find out if I replied. Also if you've replied and tumblr didn't tell me you can be like "EY YO BITCH I REPLIED TO THE THREAD." and I can go reply.

Now to those of you listed on the page that I am waiting for replies from, if you see a thread I have posted up my reply to that you are no longer interested in continuing just tell me and I will delete it from the list and we shall speak of it no more!

So here are the list of people I am waiting on replies from:

So if you all could be so kind as to hop on over to the Current Threads page and take a look see at what all is there and let me know if we're continuing (and please don't feel like you have to) or dropping. 

It took approximately six months into the Enterprise’s five year voyage for Bones to reach his limit. Six Months of babysitting a group of wet-behind-the-ears Cadets who, while excelling in the theory of medicine at the Starfleet Medical Academy, were complete ham-handed ninnies when it came to actual practice.

Jesus H. Christ, if Bones didn’t know better, he’d have thought they’d never even interned in a Hospital! And he had another four and a half years of this!

“No! Ensign, Stop!” Slapping a hand down on the biobed, the doctor stared in horror at Ensign Murphy’s left hand, where a thermionic incision laser was poised to do permanent damage to a patient’s kidneys. “…Fer God’s sake, Kid, I said to use the Extraction Laser, not the—“

Cutting himself off, Leonard bowed his head for a moment and took a long, slow breath in an effort to reign in his temper. Bellowing at subordinates would not do him any favors. In fact, the doctor was already starting to earn a reputation of being a raging bull. Especially if the target was wearing Cadet Red.

If only they weren’t all so untested, Bones thought to himself. I can’t be risking their mistakes on actual patients…

Which was when an idea occurred to him. Of course! the Medical team needed a testing program! Something… something like the Kobayashi Maru … a test to give these younger crewmembers a bit more grit in their teeth.

Armed with the idea, Bones salvaged the mess his junior staff was making of a simple procedure (really, how hard was it to vaporize a kidney stone with non-invasive lasers?), then dismissed them for the day. He stewed on the necessity of the test for the rest of his shift, weighing his options. He'd liek to say he could take on a challenge like thishimself but...No, there was nothing for it. He was going to need a certain distinguished graduate’s help.

"Spock, we need to talk"He said going into the bridge seeing him in th chair.  Sighing he went to him and saw him get out.  Starting he said, "Spock, why is it that you must criticize every single decision that I make?Even when I am thinking best for this crew and those on board...Most of the time?”he asked curiously pausing as he sighed. “You are never going to make anything easy for me. I am captain of this ship, not you. Or have you forgotten this little detail?”he asked curiously.

It was supposed to be a simple mission...

Kirk stood there, staring at the flag covered casket. He steps over and places a gloved hand on the casket. He shut his eyes tightly, trying to stop the burning tears from falling. He'd done so much crying and he didn't want to anymore. 

Things were supposed to be easy...

"I'm so sorry..." the captain whispered hoarsely.

We were prepared for anything...

They came to get the casket, each of the pal bearers nodding respectfully to the captain. Bones came up and rest a hand upon Kirk's shoulder and looks at him, concerned. "You going to be okay Jim?" he asked. Jim looked over at his long time friend, a tear slipping down his cheek. "No... I'm not..." he croaked out. "And I don't think I can be for a long time..." he whispered. "It's not going to be the same without him..." he sniffs loudly and wipes his eyes. "Well... c'mon... you got a speech to give." Bones said, placing a hand in the middle of Kirk's back, leading him out.

Where did it all go wrong...

The casket is brought out and opened, Kirk taking his place on the podium, looking down at that serene expression on the now eternally slumbering face. He almost lost it right there. He takes in a deep breath and looks out over the sea of grey. "Commander Spock was the finest officer I ever had the pleasure of knowing and serving with... I was lucky to have him as first mate..." he pauses. "And I was blessed to have him as a friend." he looks back down. "The universe is a dimmer place now, without him." Jim sniffs loudly. "And I don't know how I am going to continue on without him..." Jim looks down, shaking as tears rolled down his cheek. He lost control for a moment, crying silently at the podium. "... it should have been me." he cried softly, just barely loud enough for the mic to pick up.

It shouldn't have ended like this.

Three Days Ago

He stood in the armory of the Enterprise, gearing up for Spock and his planet side mission. They had detected some lifeforms on the planet, and as part of their mission in deep space, they were obligated to go down and observe. It wasn't always Spock and Kirk who went out, other members of the Enterprise's vast crew went out as well. Though different circumstances dictated just who would go out onto the planets they detected life on.

Kirk was in his room reading a playboy magazine as he sat up when he saw a person come in to see him. “What can I help you with? If it is about the eval I'm not going. ”he said as he knew with pikes death he was supposed to get a medical evaluation with Bones and the medical staff. if he was fit for duty and he completely missed his.
