    Summary

    “Strangling is quicker and cleaner and makes no noise to speak of.”

     

    “Yeough!”

     

    “You have a nice throat for it,” pursued his lordship, thoughtfully. “It has a kind of arum-lily quality that is in itself a temptation to violence. I do not want to be run in by the local bobby for assault; but if you will kindly step aside with me into this convenient field, it will give me great pleasure to strangle you scientifically in several positions.”

    Summary

    Behind him, it hums reassuringly, the occasional flash of blue electricity just reminding Kor he is not alone. Like the ship, the Mind-Scanner has been changed by its time with the Organians, and sometimes Kor can hardly breathe with delight, imagining the look on Captain Kirk’s face when he realises that no aid is coming; it is Kor, him, and deep, deep space, the abyss, for as long as they both shall live.

    In the captain’s case, of course, that will not be very long.

    Kor can’t help but smile.

    Summary

    Here's the thing: Jim might have woken up in the past. He might have also woken in an alien simulation or a telepathic recreation of his past. This might even be a whole other reality.
    But, with no way to be sure, there's really only one decision to make. As long as the chances aren't zero, Jim has to try to stop the upcoming destruction of Vulcan.
    What makes this goal that much harder is doing it without looking insane. Or actually going insane as he constantly doubts his reality.
