May I show you?

Show me? Wait, you mean--?

Yeah. Okay. Go for it.

My mind to your mind... my thoughts to your thoughts. Our minds are merging ... our minds are one --

[and suddenly Kirk is Spock, seeing the both of them as they're transported onto the Narada and fighting the Romulans to rescue Captain Pike. He can see himself out of his eyes, the other Jim saying that he will cover him -- sees his own hand reaching down to the unconscious Romulan, suddenly knowing that Pike is alive and where he's being held --

then Spock removes his hand slowly, the connection ending.]

Holy crap. I forgot what that felt like.

Forgive the adrenaline that was coursing through the memory. As you can tell, it was a tense situation.

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

[nods]

Really tense. Hell, I don't remember that part...

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

Now you do.

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

From your end.

... does it work in reverse?

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

While you cannot initiate it, a transference is still possible.

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Okay, yeah. Let's try that.

[The images probably aren't nearly as sharp with a human doing this, but most of it gets through. You're standing on the bridge of the Enterprise, offering mercy to Nero. Not that you want to give it to him -- hell no, you'd rather see him die. But it's important to make the offer. The other Spock disagrees with your offer, but it doesn't matter in the end. Nero refuses, and you dispatch into the black hole with great pleasure.

... and then the laws of physics attack.]

[stupid laws]

[Seriously, man. Things get a little crazy for a while. You rack your brains for a solution, any solution, and end up yelling at Scotty to do whatever it takes to get the ship the hell out of this situation. You sit in the captain's chair and brace yourself for impact.

The memory fades just as you realize that you're gonna make it out of this alive after all. And damn does it feel good.]

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

So that is how it ended ...

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

I can piece together the rest from my other memories. We go back to Earth, I spend about a week in the hospital, and then Starfleet gives me a commendation and command of the Enterprise.

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

What of your academic suspension?

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Overruled by me saving the world.

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

... also, severe personnel shortage.

Re: [ALSO later, but not too late]

[out-ofthe-chair.insanejournal.com]

Ah ... yes.
