Reactions and Reviews

This was a delightful scenario, quite fun.

Kirk is a businessman. We come upon him as he goes to the Komack Corp. in the middle of the night, and signs in as Christopher Pike. We don't know what mission he's on, but he's after company secrets. He runs into Spock in the deserted offices. Spock is a gorgeous, classically suave cat-burglar type.

I don't think the word "alien" would be used in Kirk's observations of Spock. It doesn't seem to me that word would be much used in the future, especially among space-going people-we're all aliens if we're elsewhere than our home planet.

They get on fabulously right away, and leave together. Kirk invites him in for coffee. Nice sexy scene in his apartment, but then the bed-scene is skipped entirely, and Spock is gone the next morning. It's left open-ended, but of course they will seek each other out again.

It turns out Kirk works for Nogura.

I liked this, a unique story.
