Summary
“Well, that shouldn’t have happened.” Dr. M’Benga murmured with a frown, looking towards the discarded hypospray that had, just moments ago, made Spock puke all over the floor of the sick bay. He looked towards his patient, whose face was flushed with emerald green, though from the reaction to the hypospray or from the embarrassment he can feel radiating off the officer, M’Benga didn’t know.

Summary
“You tell him he’s not allowed to die, okay?” La'An demands, black dots dancing across her vision. “He’s not- allowed to die.” Her words are slurred, and she can hear the captain speaking, but everything is muffled again and when the world goes dark it’s hardly a surprise.

Summary
Captain Pike makes sure that every single crewmate- from cadets to his number one, know that his quarters are always open, any time, any reason.
He worries, when they lose Hemmer, that Uhura will close back in on herself, but to his relief she seems to find companionship in the other women of the bridge. He does not think he needs to be particularly worried about Spock when Hemmer dies.
He was wrong.

Summary
The ready room was unsettlingly quiet, and had been since Spock had arrived and taken a seat across from the captain. Captain Pike had been incredibly displeased since leaving the planet's surface, and had ordered Spock to follow him to the ready room, where they had been sitting in silence since.
Spock did not want to interrupt Captain Pike’s thoughts, but he was beginning to feel disoriented, his inhibitions were lowered, and he had come to the conclusion that he was not, in fact, immune to the interrogation drug that he had been dosed with by the most recent members of the Federation.

Summary
In which James T. Kirk can never let an idea go, is always right, and should always be listened too.
OR
They were 2 years into the five year mission, and though they weren’t exactly friends, Spock and him had become something of friendly coworkers. And as a friendly coworker, and little, Jim had noticed traits in Spock that gave him reason to believe that, had the classification test been calibrated for his Vulcan-ness, his first officer would be classified as little, and not neutral.
He had been trying to convince Bones of Spock’s little-ness but to no avail, but he's almost certain that with a bit of gentle caretaking from Bones, and maybe some encouragement from his captain, Spock would regress easily enough, and then he and Jim could become better friends, and more importantly, playmates.

Summary
Spock was highly familiar with discrimination, having faced it both on Vulcan, and during his time in the Starfleet Academy, from peers and superiors alike. It was different though, to face it from people who had only ever treated him kindly- to be reminded, in an instant, that he would always be considered less than by his own people.
