You open the old time novel, where the heart is gone, and the hero would be me

Part 7

Pike awoke that morning feeling refreshed. Ensign Kirk had sent a report in regarding the studying of shape-shifting sheep and the implications that these mutated animals brought for severely lacking of wool colonies. The implications were large. Some colonies didn't have replicators as they required technicians and engineers very familiar to repairing the machines. It was co-authored by Lieutenant Spock. Pike had a proud expression. He had the strangest of feelings that something was going to happen today. He stepped into his sonic shower then came out to his laid uniform. The black and green outfit. He put on his two piece outfit lacking the delta symbol dotting it. It had been removed from the official uniform after numerous complaints. The uniform felt comfortable and freeing. It wasn't like a outfit normally used in sports. He made his way into the living room where his first officer stood with her hands linked behind her back. Una was in her light green command uniform. Yellow used to be in command but had been put aside due to the way it made commanding officers stand out like gold among the scenery. Cool light green shirts. A far cry from the short term lengthed uniforms that were blue with gold, silver, and a orange-brown.

"Captain, we have a visitor," Una said.

"Unexpected visitor?" Pike asked.

"Yes," Una replied. "A admiral."

"Which one?" Pike asked.

"He is really cranky," Una said. "and wants to speak with Mr Spock."

"Mr Spock," Pike said. "Our Mr Spock?"

"Yes," Una nodded.

"And where would our visitor be now?" Pike asked.

"The conference room," Una said.

Pike paused turning away from the woman rubbing his chin, contemplating. Pike placed a hand onto a statue laid on a counter. Something that Sarek had given him as a reward for saving Vulcan. It was a model that had been replicated in terms of design. He looked down at the object in large consideration. He turned away from the object back in the first officer's path.

"You have not called Mr Spock," Pike said.

"Not yet," Una said.

Pike paced back and forth.

"I want to be sure this man is asking for the right person," Pike said. and since Kirk knows the lieutenant better than anyone, we'll have him with the admiral," Pike placed his hands on his waist. "He is as good as a officer as Mr Spock."

"He has not been fully trained," Una said. "the admiral won't be happy."

"I realize that," Pike said. "We're training him by giving him some experience talking to a admiral."

"Experience boost," Una said.

"Catching on, number one," Pike said. "I have a report to finish and several others to read. I don't have the time for the admiral, unfortunately. Dismissed."
