    Summary

    The blonde man who's been beamed up with Jim, who’s glasses have all but repelled themselves from his face, curled in on himself on the transporter pad is obviously not Spock. There's a new recruit on the Enterprise it appears.

    or

    It is an interesting coincidence that both Erid and Vulcan are based in the same star system, it is also an interesting coincidence that the USS Enterprise and the Hail Mary occupy the same exact physical plane when a transporter incident disappears one Cmdr. S'chan T'gai Spock and Dr. Ryland Grace from their respective ships.

    Summary

    For a few seconds, he sees it disappear from his peripheral vision. He sighs, and starts to slow down.

    Then, something breaks the water in front of his boat. It lifts off a couple of meters from the surface, tail long, bare human torso twisting in efffort before it dives back down. Water splashes in Simon’s face. His boat comes to a still. He can still see the round impact of the landing

    That is… definitely a mermaid.

    Simon is a fisherman living in a small town nestled inside of a cove known for its red beach and water. The day a strange duo composed of an even stranger doctor and his accented friend arrive into town, Simon makes a strange encounter.

    Summary

    The man turned toward me, he was wearing a heavyweight parka over a green jumpsuit uniform, and for some reason, I couldn't stop staring at his eyes. It was also green. But not the pale kind or the dull kind. It was bright green. The sort of eyes that immediately grabbed your attention and refused to let go.

    Then I noticed the expression attached to those eyes.

    Oh. That was definitely not gratitude I am seeing over there, buddy.

    Or, Grace wakes from a coma with no memory of the events of Hail Mary, but this grumpy engineer who can turn him into a complete mess somehow feels hauntingly familiar.

    Summary

    The three of them noticed it before anyone even knew there was a problem. Noticed and just as easily brushed it off. The warming of the planet had been such a concern for years and years that a slight decrease in temperature brought relief. Who knew what it could be?

    They didn’t have a word for it.

    Summary

    Rocky watches dubiously as the strange creature wanders around the ship. It jumps up onto a counter, sniffing at each glass and beaker as it goes past.

    “Grace supposed to be running experiment,” he reminds it cautiously. Hopefully none of the abandoned components are volatile.
