* Editorial (2)
* The Buccaneer by D. DuBois (Christine Chapel finished tending the Captain's wounds. "What monster did this to him?" she asked the Doctor. The Vulcan looked straight at her. "I am the monster, nurse.") (3)
* The Islands by Anne Kydd (Kirk was not stupid, even now he was keeping out of the Vulcan's way, trying to avoid the crushing arms, even in his fury his instincts reminding him constantly that this was Spock, and no way could he beat the Vulcan in hand to hand fighting.) (18)
* Zine News and Reviews (33)
* Too Many Doctors! by D. DuBois (With a shock the Doctor suddenly became aware of Spock's fingers on his face, and tugged his head away quickly, not looking at him. //Surely, he wasn't trying to...? Hell, he always asked permission first, didn't he?// McCoy was no longer absolutely sure....Spock intended to get his answers, one way or another.) (34)
* One Monumental Mistake by C. Cooper ("He was presented with the facts, Doctor, logically he had no alternative but to accept them, and act accordingly." Spock's voice thickened slightly, the only sign of emotion he had so far shown, "I am temporarily relieved of duty.") (48)
* Rule Two by D. DuBois (He cursed himself yet again for his stupidity. He'd set the scoutmobile down, his blasted curiosity again. Sulu had said it would finish him one day, and it looked like the prophecy was about to come true.) (67)
* First Impressions by D. DuBois (The Ambassador was tired. Why had they decided on him? Surely there was someone else? He cut the thought off quickly and sighed, he was after all the obvious choice.) (72)
