Spock Must Be Spared This! He Turned Hast Ily to the Next Transporter Position and Took Spock by the Arm CHAPTER I Dr. McCoy had one thought in his mind: Spock must be spared this! He turned hast ily to the next transporter position and took Spock by the arm. The Vulcan did not even protest as McCoy led him off the platform. McCoy wanted to steer him through the corridors of the Enterprise, hustle him to the haven of Sickbay--anything but let the Vulcan stay and see the security men bringing up the stretcher with the bodybag. But Spock stopped at the transporter console. He planted himself like a rock wit h that immovable Vulcan strength, and now his peculiar immobility amounted almos t to catatonia. "Energize," Spock said, in a shockingly normal voice. Scotty stood at the control console himself. He looked blasted, empty, suddenly old. His shoulders struggled to hold themselves at attention, as if they were an honor guard. His hands worked the controls with special care... as if it could matter now. Uhura stood inside the door, neither explaining her presence nor apologizing for the tears which ran quietly down the beautiful dark face. The transporter shimmered. The two Enterprise security men materialized, took a firmer grip on the anti-gra v lifts, and stepped carefully off the platform with the stretcher that bore the body of Captain James T. Kirk. Spock followed them through the door, his eyes not moving from the stretcher. Mc Coy clung to his arm, not sure whether he was giving support or getting it He co uld feel the Vulcan's strength. But was it fully sane? Leonard McCoy knew that he would always remember that quiet procession as nightm are, but it was nothing to the nightmare of going to the planet and collecting t he charred body, nothing at all to the nightmare Spock had seen. Enterprise personnel lined the corridors, stood beside the turbo-lift. They knew, of course. Omne had made sure that they knew. The owner of the hole-in-the-wall planet had announced it bluntly, brutally, sen ding his special signal through his impenetrable shields which cut off all other communication and piped directly into the ship's intercom. "Captain Kirk is dea d. Permission granted for Enterprise physician and party to attend." The crew had not believed it. Their Captain could not die! Now they read the finality in McCoy's face and in Spock's. McCoy stopped Spock at the door as the body was carried into the small, sterile autopsy room. The purpose of the room was only too well known to Spock as a scientist. Standar d. All violent or sudden deaths. Dr. McCoy's own strictest rule. Dr. M'benga was there, raising an inquiring, offering eyebrow at McCoy. McCoy shook his head. That he would do himself. It was the last thing he would d o for Jim Kirk. The Vulcan First Officer looked at him with perfect comprehension. "Thank you, D octor," Spock said. "He would want that from you." McCoy found himself without words. But the Vulcan had spoken--for the first time except for the single order in the transporter room. McCoy must catch that thread of sanity, draw the Vulcan back somehow to some hol d on life. "Spock--" he began, but the Vulcan was gone again, lapsing into the rigid stare with which he had watched the recovery of Kirk's body from the ashes. The fixed eyes spoke of murder, madness, some terrible release for what could not be relea sed and could not be endured. McCoy felt certain that Spock's very life was in danger. The Vulcan had survived believing that Kirk was dead once on Vulcan, when Spock thought that he himself had killed his Captain and friend. But the terrible Vulcan emotional control ha d broken completely in this very room when Spock saw Jim reappear through the do or alive. And that was years and many layers of friendship ago. McCoy was not su re that Spock had ever fully believed that Kirk was dead when the Captain had di sappeared in the Tholian sector and McCoy and Spock had listened to Jim's record ed last orders together. But Spock had risked the ship on an impossible chance t o get Jim back. Still years ago--and what would he risk now, if there were any c hance? How would he live with the fact that now there was no chance at all? The Vulcan repression of emotion was a weakness as much as it was a strength. Go d knew it had carried the Vulcan through terrible times--sometimes carried them all. But McCoy had always known that it could break down explosively. He had giv en Spock hell often enough trying to break it down bit by bit before that day wo uld come. This day. McCoy knew with bleak certainty that this could do it, was probably the only thi ng which could. He, too, had lost his closest friend. But Spock had lost the onl y man he had ever permitted really to reach into his self-imposed prison of Vulc an restraint and to touch his naked soul. McCoy dropped on one knee beside Spock's chair. "Hold on, Spock," he said very s oftly in the tone of a quotation and almost in another man's voice. "Don't let i t break you. Hold on." The Vulcan shuddered and his eyes reached for the look of comfort Kirk would hav e offered. "Thanks, Bones," Spock said very deliberately in the same voice, using the name Kirk would have used. Then his eyes blazed suddenly with such ferocity as McCoy had only glimpsed. He locked his hands behind his back. "I shall have to "hold on,' Doctor. Murder has been done, and all hell is about to break loose." "Murder?" McCoy gasped. "But surely it was an accident? My God, Spock, not even Omne would set that up as a trap. A suttee, Sandorian-style? Burn the whole hous e? The wife? The baby? The woman really died, Spock. No trick. Jim just couldn't stand it--not the baby. It was an accident' "Or an exact calculation of the Captain's psychology," Spock said grimly. "It wa s Omne who staged the delegates' tour or the alien enclaves, lectured us on the Federation's Non-interference Directive--claiming no Human honored it--marched u s in and kept the Captain close, explained to him the custom of immolation, just as the house was fired and the woman dashed in carrying the child. It was Omne' s Romulan mercenaries who blocked me when I tried to go after Jim." He broke off, and McCoy could almost see the flames flare high behind his eyes. McCoy could see behind his own the glowing ashes and Spock still standing locked between burly Romulan renegades, Vulcanoid and as strong as he. Spock still hol ding a screaming, naked boy baby perhaps six months old. Spock, who couldn't hol d a tribble or a cat without petting it, holding the baby and quite oblivious to it McCoy had taken it from him, parked it almost as obliviously with some woman , tried to question Spock, finally gotten the stock in fragments from witnesses: Spock bowling down Romulans like tenpins, reaching the door, seeing Kirk with t he mother clawing at him, holding him. Kirk had pitched the baby to Spock, who c aught it just as the Romulans caught him again, and just as the flaming house co llapsed with Kirk inside. McCoy closed his eyes. It didn't help. But if Spock thought that he had seen murder-maybe his sanity really had snapped . Maybe he had to have somebody to kill. And what would that do to his Vulcan ph ilosophy of peace? Spock's face showed nothing of Vulcan's thousand years of pea ce. It was the face of his savage heritage, five thousand years deep--or five mi llion. McCoy's legs were not doing too well. He shifted to the chair behind the desk. S pock was a walking mass of grief, but he was in command of the Enterprise now, w ith power to destroy a planet. There was a war brewing here anyway. This miserab le outlaw planet was the intrigue center of the galaxy. And McCoy doubted that O mne's Black Hole was safe now, even behind its impregnable shields. Spock glanced up and caught McCoy's fixed look. The Vulcan stopped abruptly. He came and settled on a hip on the corner of McCoy's desk--an uncharacteristic pos e for him. "Check my logic, Doctor," he said, "I am not fully-functional.'' "Check your logic?" The Vulcan looked at McCoy gravely. "I do not believe that we will need his last orders--this time. Do you?" "No, Spock. Not this time." Spock nodded. 'Then hear me." He drew back his shoulders until they crackled. "P oint one: It is possible that I am being paranoid, but I do not think so. My int uition senses a deeper plot than we knew. Of course, we have confirmed the suspi cion that brought us here--that this whole conference of strange delegates, outl aws, renegades, revolutionaries, governments in exile, dissident factions is aim ed at breaking up the Federation, perhaps taking many planets into an alliance w ith the Romulans and enabling them to go to war again. Omne makes no bones about favoring that, nor about his contempt for the Federation. Yet you recall that h e greeted us on the viewscreen saving that he was pleased that we had 'accepted his invitation'--implying that he had carefully arranged things so that we would try, as the Captain said, to 'crash the party.' You could not see his first cur iously excessive cordiality to the Captain and myself, but when he finally beame d you down to join us on our private tour at the hospital--" Spock cut himself o ff.

  • Trekonderoga 2018
    Special Guests Karl Urban Original Star Trek series fan and New Zealand-born actor Karl Urban actively pursued and won the role of Dr. Leonard McCoy on 2009’s motion picture named, appropriately enough, Star Trek. In his portrayal, Karl evoked many of the subtle mannerisms and vocalisms made famous by one DeForest Kelley of an earlier era – one could consider his performance as an ultimate fan tribute. Karl was interested in acting from a very early age, debuting at age 8 in the New Zealand television series Pioneer Woman. Internationally he appeared in both Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and its spin-off Xena: Warrior Princess, playing recurring roles in both American/New Zealand series. He eventually started working on Hollywood productions and in relatively no time was in big productions such as The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Supremacy, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Doom. Hollywood press has speculated that he could have landed the role of “James Bond” had not previous film commitments gotten in the way (the role went to Daniel Craig). Other films he appeared in include Red, Dredd, The Loft, Pete’s Dragon, while Karl most recently appeared as “Skurge” in 2016’s Thor: Ragnarok. Karl is active on the convention circuit and makes his first bombshell appearance at this year’s edition of Trekonderoga! Be sure not to miss your opportunity to meet Karl onboard the original Enterprise – where else but in Sickbay, naturally – in a time-defying trip back to the original series sets with today’s Dr. McCoy! Appears Saturday & Sunday only Gates McFadden Not many Enterprise-D characters could call their Captain by his first name, but Doctor Beverly Crusher, memorably played by Gates McFadden, certainly could – and did.

In the paper, I claim that Trek films have always had both positive and negative representations of women, and that ―NuTrek‖ fails and succeeds in ways that are different from but comparable to those of ―classic‖ Trek. I will devote the first half of my paper to Uhura‘s portrayal in Star Treks I through VI. The second half of my research will focus on the newest film, Star Trek (2009). I will attempt to explain the character‘s evolution as well as to critique the ways in which NuTrek featuring the Original Series characters manages to simultaneously triumph and fail at representing the true diversity of women. * my interpretation of how different characters can be ―read‖ as either positive or negative representations of gender; my own interpretation will be compared and contrasted with that of other Trek scholars, and I will be citing sources both in feminist literature and media studies literature (and some combinations) to back up my own conclusions about the films.
