The science officer considered this statement.”Phaser cannons, triple-field defence shields, photon disrupter buoys …”

“Which wouldn’t mean a damn thing if we had warp speed,” said kirk now fully unclothed, as he ducked into the sonic shower.

“However, at impulse speed we are less than evenly matched.” Spock weighed the strengths of both sides as if evaluating another chess game. “Our phasers would be hard pressed to penetrate its defences. Our shields could not withstand more than one direct hit. The Falchion will be at a similar disadvantage. Our combined forces may not be sufficient to counter an attack.”

Kirk stepped back into the room. “It’s cold in here,” he complained , quickly pulling on a clean set of clothes.

No exaggeration, I laughed out loud when I read this.

Sadly, Kirk and McCoy never discuss this particular mission again. I really wish someone would write a fanfic to elaborate. It practically reads like a fic prompt.
