Reactions and Reviews
H/C. McCoy is unconscious and slowly dying of paralysis from the bite of a Tholian green spider. Spock administers CPR while sending out telepathic signals to Kirk and Ker, a ciliated, tripodal, telepathic Bercan. Well-written. [1]
"Meld" seems reasonably effective. I imagine it would make a real impact on a Specialist in Star Trek, to whom the concept of a main character's apparent death would be staggering. [2]
I loved the "Meld". Would there be any other stories with the Bercan in it? I liked this character and would like to read more on her (and any others). [3]
"Meld" was good—I would like to see more developed on the Bercan. [4]
