Reactions and Reviews

I first discovered K‘Sal‘s writing in CyberDreams 2 with a piece called In Check. This story grew on me with time, so I was quite willing to try "Incident Report." We join Kirk as he prepares to file an "incident report" about something that happened while he and Spock were trying to arrange a peace between two warring planets. It seems the Vulcan Ambassador, Soran, walked into a closed and private meeting room while Kirk was in the midst of a serious consultation with his second-in-command—or as he calls it "sucking face." Kirk is particularly concerned that he has caused Spock problems with his father and home planet. I especially enjoyed the conversation where Kirk compares Spock to a cat and says he has gotten used to the feeling that somewhere in the background of his daily life he subliminally is aware of Spock "purring." Spock is quick to correct his commanding officer: purring is an inaccurate description of "a mental sensation in a language inadequate to the purpose." And so it goes. Kirk is his delightful, irreverent self while Spock remains deliciously pedantic. And the fact that the entire story takes place as intraship communications they send each other is wonderfully different. It takes great skill to pull this off. K‘Sal succeeds on all fronts.

humour. in my opinion, these two pieces by k'sal are the best characterisations and the best stories in the fandom. this one is hilarious, witty and dryly urbane, all framed in a series of correspondence between kirk and spock following what may or may not have been an incident.
