Ensign James Tiberius Kolk - “The Once & Future Kolk”
((Sickbay, USS Enterprise (NCC-1701: No bloody, A, B, C, D, or E) — Holodeck 27, Deck 482. Starbase 211, Dorvan Sector, Alpha Quadrant - Stardate 239109.07))

::Dr. McCoy stood with his back to a 23rd century biobed, on which lay one version of Captain Kirk. The other stood in front of him, with Commander Spock (or in this case, a 24th century Ensign James T. Kolk, playing the role of Spock) standing next to Kirk. Kolk had programmed the holodeck to replace his own short brown hair with Spock’s black Vulcan hairstyle.::

McCoy: He'll be regaining consciousness soon, and not knowing what his physical state is, I don't think I dare give him a tranquilizer of any kind. I think we'd better bind him.

Kirk: ::dismissively:: Yes. yes, all right.

::McCoy stepped over to the biobed and tended to the patient, while the other two men talked.::

Kirk: What's the matter with me?

Kolk as Spock(a.k.a. Spolk): Judging from my observations, Captain, you're rapidly losing the power of decision.

::The doctor angrily turned away from the biobed and toward the stand-in-for-a-Vulcan..::

McCoy: You have a point, Spock?

::Turning toward the Doctor for a moment, then back to the Captain as he went on.::

Spolk: Yes, always, Doctor! We have here an unusual opportunity to appraise the human mind, or to examine, in Earth terms, the roles of good and evil in a man. His negative side, which you call “hostility,” “lust,” “violence,” and his positive side, which Earth people express as “compassion,” “love,” “tenderness.”

McCoy: It's the Captain's guts you're analyzing! Are you of that, Spock?

Spolk: Yes, and what is it that makes one man an exceptional leader? We see indications that it's his negative side which makes him strong, that his “evil” side, if you will, properly controlled and disciplined, is vital to his strength. ::turning to Kirk:: Your negative side removed from you, the power of command begins to elude you.

Kirk: What is your point, Mister Spock?

Spolk: If your power of command continues to weaken, you'll soon be unable to function as Captain. You must be prepared for that.

McCoy: You have your intellect, Jim. You can fight with that!

Kirk: ::weakly:: For how long?

::Up until this point, Kolk had simply been reciting the official transcript as he’d memorized it years ago when he studied the Enterprise’s five year mission at the Academy, but it was at this moment that he broke character a little and spoke from his heart, changing just the last few words.::

Spolk: If I seem insensitive to what you're going through, Captain, understand I know the internal struggle between good and evil all too well...

::At that point, Scotty’s voice came over the intercom, preceded by the old-style whistle.::

Scott: =/\= Captain Kirk. =/\=

::To respond, Kirk had to walk across to Dr. McCoy’s office and lean awkwardly over the desk to flip a switch.::

Kirk: =/\= Kirk here. =/\=

Scott: =/\= Mister Scott, sir, on the lower level of the Engineering deck. I've found a new trouble with the transporter. The casing has a wide gap ripped in it. The main circuits have been burned through. The abort control circuit is gone altogether. =/\=

::This time Spolk broke character simply because he’d never understood how the original crew could’ve missed such an obvious alternative, and if anyone should’ve thought of it, that person was Spock.::

Spolk: With the Transporters no longer a viable option for retrieving the landing party before they freeze to death, might I recommend sending a shuttlecraft for them, Captain?

::Before the holographic Kirk could answer, an entirely different whistle, alien to the holodeck characters though extremely familiar to the 24th century Starfleet Officer, heralded another intercom signal. The voice of a Ferengi Lieutenant followed closely thereafter.::

Quolt: =/\= Ensign Kolk, report to the Commander’s Office. =/\=

Spolk: ::to Kirk:: Excuse me, Captain. =/\= Computer, halt program and save. =/\=

::Jim Kolk tapped his holographically hidden, yet still there, combadge while thanking the Engineers who’d come before him for developing the far more efficient method of communication.::

Kolk: =/\= On my way, Lieutenant. =/\=

((Station Commander's Office, Deck 456, Starbase 211 - Several Minutes Later))

::The first time Jim had been summoned here — just after changing his name, actually — he'd been very glad that the design was substantially dissimilar to the corresponding office module on Deep Space 17, because his most recent memory from that Starfleet Station Commander's Office was not a pleasant one, to say the least...::

((Flashback: Station Commander's Office, Deep Space 17, Universe 107-LS9 - 7 Years Ago, Stardate 238404.02))

::After appearing in the middle of Ops, Lt. Jackford B. Kolk ignored the surprised look of a security officer, replaced the second pip on his collar, and walked straight to the door of the Station Commander's office. He pressed the door chime. Once the door opened, he clenched his jaw, stepped forward, and spoke.::

Lt. Kolk: Sir. ::He saluted.::

::The doors to the office parted and Commander Danny Wilde didn't even bother to look up..::

Wilde: What is it, Kolk?

Lt. Kolk: I know that Lieutenant Walker returned a while ago from the other DS17. I was just there myself, actually, though I wasn't able to accomplish much. I thought I'd check in with you to--

::Danny looked up from his computer terminal, the screen image still focused in Engineering.::

Wilde: Oh really? Do you know the nature of Lieutenant Walker's orders? No! You don't! He takes them only from me and I do not think divulging them to you would make the slightest difference. Lieutenant Walker is still on their DS17. Lieutenant Commander Walker is in our Engineering, not our Walker.

Lt. Kolk: What!? I spoke to him myself before I crossed over!!

::Jack cursed himself for being so gullible. He should've known better. And now the Commander thought even less of him. He was beginning to suspect that Reed might be talking to Wilde behind his back, trying to discredit him and take Chief Engineer from him. He never should've made the ungrateful woman Assistant Chief. Danny stood from behind his desk.::

Wilde: And who authorised you to!? Thought you'd secure yourself that long awaited Lieutenant Commander's pip? Well you can forget it! You alone could have put the rest of this project at risk.

Lt. Kolk: I'm sorry, Sir. I'll return to the other--

Wilde: You will do no such thing. As of now you are relieved of duty. Your access to the Chroniton Wave equipment will be restricted; your access codes changed. If you make any attempt to return to Engineering or speak to any of your former staff, I will have you for treason, as well as insubordination.

::He emphasised the word 'former' to make Jack aware that he was no longer Chief of Engineering. He smiled as the realisation sank in and Jack began to panic.::

Lt. Kolk: What!!?? You can't do th--!!

::They both knew he could. Danny had planted evidence to secure the arrest and imprisonment of his predecessor as Commander of DS17 - for conspiring with the enemy. Danny's rage overtook him and he struck the junior officer, sending him to the floor. Jack fell sideways, hitting his head on the wall beside him almost as hard as the Commander's fist had hit him. Wilde moved around the desk and grabbed the man by the arms, pulling him up face to face. He fought to remain conscious, the feeling of hands squeezing his arms was the last feeling to penetrate the fog encroaching on his brain, along with the fading sound of the furious Cmdr. Wilde.::

Wilde: ::coolly:: I can do anything I want, Lieutenant. This is my station, and my experiment. Do you think I didn't know anything about alternate universes when I "slipped' that file into Engineering? You are not going to ruin this for me.

::Kolk lost consciousness and Danny let his limp body thump to the floor. He stood up and dusted off his hands before pressing a button on his wrist command.::

Wilde: =/\= Commander Wilde to Security. Lieutenant Kolk is to be placed in the brig under close guard. Please transport him there. =/\=

((End Flashback))

::By now though, he was much more comfortable in the Commander's Office, and much more comfortable with this Commander. Commander Josephina Pacelli was a dark haired woman, slender and strong, and Jim had come to respect her a great deal since his release into, essentially, her custody for a year, after which time his probation was rescinded and he was made a full Ensign. Now, another year, plus, later he had built friendships, becoming a welcomed member of the crew. He was happy, if a bit bored, doing research on the same station where he'd been born. He was curious why Pacelli had asked to see him, but not concerned; he'd been a model officer for the past two and one-sixth Sol-years.::

::Jim entered quietly, a PADD with the latest report on his research project in his hand, in case she wanted to see it.::

Pacelli: ::gesturing to the chair to one side of her desk:: Have a seat, Ensign.

Kolk: ::He sat, placing the PADD on her desk.:: Thank you, sir.
