You couldn’t have talked to Mickey yesterday…” Her voice trailed off, her expression drew dark. “Why?” Kirk pressed gently. “Why couldn’t I have?” Samantha stared into empty space. “Mickey’s been… gone for four years. One of the ‘missing’. She was down here, visiting. You know, she always was wandering off without telling me where she was going. It was up on those hills… about where I see you and… Spock'.") (15)

* The Break by Greta Foulard. “Do you project a… a realistic depiction?” Now that Spock was into the question, he couldn’t figure out how to tactfully phrase it. He ventured to glance up into the amused hazel eyes. Finally Kirk took pity on the poor Vulcan. “What you’ve seen is what I’ve got.” He giggled at his own slang. “Indeed.” Spock was well-pleased with it, too.

* Daybreak by Alexis Fegan Black (“You see, Captain, Mister Spock,” the curly-haired leader of the survivors said softly, “we essentially used fiction as a mold for this… crew, I guess you’d call them. At least… we thought it was fiction at the time.” Captain Jack paused, then took a different course. “I take it Cele’s told you about Serin?” Kirk nodded. “Telepahtic suggestion to complete the illusion?” “Sort of,” Captain Jack concurred with a light laugh. “Serin tries harder than ayone, but he just isn’t a Vulcan… and he’s certainly not a telepath.” “Like I said, Captain Kirk,” the girl-child, Cele, interjected, “Serin can go through the motions but he can’t fly the plane.” She shrugged. ‘But the rituals seem to help the others… and, besides, they’re fun, too.” “Rituals?” Spock inquired. Cele nodded, her gray eyes wide. “Sure… you know. Witchy stuff.” She winked. Spock’s brows lifted. Cele rolled here eyes with a laugh. “Spells and potions and mind melds and dances in the moonlight-all the kind of stuff you’d find on another planet.” Her tone said that Spock should have understood, shouldn’t have been so stiff-in-the-ass-dense. “You know,” she repeated fervently. “Magic.” “Magic is a human term applied to something which is not easily understood,” Spock countered logically. Cele’s lips puckered to a pout. “Then I suppose it was magic that brought you here, huh? Magic that dragged you back in time to create us, and forward in time to find us? Is that what you’re calling magic?”) (81)
* First Light, poem by Alexis Fegan Black (124)
