The Vulcan Changeling Project

The Devil Herself

Scotty looked at Muriah as if she had lost her mind. "Lass, you can't be serious."

Lieutenant Riley nodded in agreement with Scotty, "I must concur with Mister Scott, your plan is creative but..."

Muriah cut Riley off curtly, "Do you have a better plan, Lieutenant?"

Scotty massaged his jaw as he considered Muriah's proposal, "Well, I suppose it could work."

Lieutenant Riley glared at Scotty, "I don't believe my ears Mister Scott. Surely you don't think that all her talk of reading minds and hocus pocus is real?"

Scotty shrugged and said, "Well, lad I don't have a better plan, do you?"

Commander Raeth smiled as Talerth's face appeared on the Enterprise view screen. "Commander Raeth, congratulations for a job well done." Commander Talerth said as she smiled coolly. "Now, Commander Raeth, you promised that I would get a significant promotion once the Enterprise was taken. Now, when do I get to board her?"

Kirk glanced up at the screen and something about the excitement in Talerth's voice reminded Kirk of the ambition he had in his Star-Fleet Academy days.

Commander Raeth smiled, "You remember well, Talerth, you may beam aboard and take temporary command of the Enterprise while I interrogate the crew, but first things first, the Enterprise can' t have two Captains Raeth said as he lowered a disruptor at Kirk's head.

Talerth nodded, "I quite agree, however before you kill him, I would like to toy with the Captain. Perhaps I could obtain information through some of my techniques."

Kirk grinned as he brushed a stream of blood out of his eyes, "Commander Talerth, I look forward to being toyed with. As my first officer Spock would say..."

Kirk's breath expelled in a whoosh of air as Commander Raeth kicked him in the stomach, "Silence, human."

Spock knelt beside Kirk as he lay gasping on the floor, "Captain, I must say that your last remark was most unwise."

Kirk looked up from his doubled over position. "Spock, I'm sorry for I guess you can't appreciate the idea of being tied up by a beautiful woman and interrogated, you know a little BDSM?"

Spock raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "On the contrary Captain, many Vulcan mating rituals include BDSM elements."

Kirk opened his mouth to say something and then groaned as another stomach cramp knotted the muscles in his stomach.

Scotty looked at the tri-recorder in his hand and frowned at the readings. "I don't know. I just don't know," he muttered.

Muriah looked over Scotty's shoulder and said, "What's the problem, Mister Scott?"

Scotty shook his head. "I don't know if this is going to work or not."

Lieutenant Riley stepped out of the corner as he glared at Muriah. "Well, it better. I don't want to be in this outfit any longer than necessary."

Muriah giggled at the sight of Riley in her old gown from Babylon 2. Scotty grinned, "Aye, laddie you're a sight for sore eyes."

Lieutenant Riley grimaced. "Let's just get on with it."

As soon as the Centurion caught sight of the figure running down the corridor in a white flowing gown she smiled, for she had found the mutant woman.

"Halt," the Centurion shouted as she ran after the robbed figure. The Centurion ran a few paces and then stopped for she sensed something was wrong. As she turned to look behind her a tingling sensation numbed her whole body as she fell to the ground.

Scotty chuckled as they dragged the Centurion's body into a near-by bathroom. "We'd better hurry the Romulan lass will be up and fighting soon."

"No, she won't. We have to kill her," Muriah muttered as she struggled to get into the Romulan's clothes.

Scotty shook his head, "No, I cannot condone murder."

Muriah shrugged, "Suit yourself Mister Scott, now help me transform into a Romulan."

After she had soaped her eyebrows into an upward slant Muriah looked at Scotty and Lieutenant Riley, "Well, how do I look?"

Scotty grinned and said, "Aye, very good lass. You look like the devil herself."
