A character from The Brave of Gold Goldran.

                             “      i am aware.       ”               it is soft - spoken,         for him.          though many may not be able to distinguish the difference from usual tone,            pike is well acquainted with his mannerisms.            furthermore,            he does not believe vulcans to be merely walking computers,            incapable of change,            or of expressing    (   let alone understanding   )     emotion.

“       be that as it may,             i have come to understand that however improbable,            not all things are as impossible as they seem.             human stubbornness             &             hope has been a key factor in a number of achievements previously believed to be elusive,             if not mad.            ”       

   “Oh Captain! Just the man I wanted to see!” Tilly grins at the man, looking up at him. “You see there’s this thing I’ve been wanting to ask you and I can never find the right time - but as you’re wondering around I assume you’re free but if you’re actually doing something and I’m just being silly then please forget this and I’ll catch you another time.” she chuckled, shrugging lightly. 

“        you requested my presence,         sir?             ”      

“i could say the same about you,  captain,”   the words are gracious,  with a soft,  warm smile.   “though  —   ”   head tilts to the side,  a sly edge undercutting the softness of the smile,   “i’ll admit,  spending so long around vulcans has a tendency to…..  prioritize the need for a tirelessly competitive strategy,”

WASN ' T  IT  ALWAYS  ?   some  missions  went  wrong ,  some  took  their  toll  on  people .  even  though  their  main  interest  was  to  explore  new  worlds ,  to  collect  informations  and  data  about  planets  and  nebulas ,  about  civilizations  and  constellations ,  not  everything  could  be  planned  beforehand .  amelia  had  seen  various  injuries  on  her  travels  through  time  and  space ,  had  patched  many  wounds  of  colleagues  on  the  field  (  especially  on  those  missions  she  did  before  joining  the  crew  of  the  enterprise ,  being  all  alone  on  an  outpost  somewhere  in  the  darkness  of  the  universe  ) ,  so  this  issue  was  nothing  new  to  the  xenoanthropologist .   ❛    let  me  at  least  TAKE  A  LOOK  AT  IT  .  ❜  ,  she  said  while  watching  the  other  closely .  the  dangerous  side  effects  of  an  infected  wounds  were  nothing  to  mess  with ,  not  even  if  it  was  a  small  ballistic  trauma .   ❛    i  bet  you  haven ‘ t  seen  a  doctor  since ,  or  asked  for  any  medication  ?  i  might  have  some  antibiotics  in  my  bag ,  but  still .  proper  disinfection  and  treatment  is  inevitable .   ❜
