"And by the way, what are you doing here, Bones?" Kirk asked. "Shouldn't you be playing mother hen with your royal charges?" "Roget and I discussed that," said McCoy. "He thought that to have a Federation doctor hovering over them would show a certain kind of paternalism that would be bad for interplanetary relations--" "So the good doctor decided to assist me here on the bridge," said Spock, from his bridge post. His tone left no doubt that though Vulcans might not be able to bluff, they were quite comfortable with the concept of sarcasm. "I'm certain you missed our little chats," said McCoy, with a taunting smile Spock did not rise to. "You'd better reschedule, Doctor," said Kirk, keeping his eyes on the viewscreen. "We're liable to get pretty busy up here." "What's the matter, Jim?"

"Doctor," said Spock, "it cannot have escaped even you that every public appearance of Their Serene Highnesses since our arrival has been accompanied by some manner of disturbance or assault." "And you're expecting this one to be no different?" asked McCoy, anxiously. "We are," said Spock. "Such a public telecast as this would seem the perfect place to blacken another of the Federation's eyes." "I've been caught twice by whoever's behind this," said Kirk, grimly, "and I don't intend to be asleep at the switch for a third time. Weapons status, Sulu?" "Full complements of phasers and photon torpedoes ready, sir," said Sulu. "Shall I order phasers charged?" "Negative. If we're being monitored, it might tip them off. Just have those weapons ready if we need them." "Aye, sir."

"Well, I know when I'm not wanted," said McCoy, dryly. "I think I'll sneak down to the cargo hold, grab a glass of wine, and--Jim!" McCoy's tone was so urgent that Kirk instantly jerked his gaze from the viewscreen to the doctor, to see the surgeon bending over Spock, who had suddenly and inexplicably collapsed to the deck.

"I ASSURE YOU, DOCTOR," said Spock, from a bed in sickbay, "I am, as you would put it, 'fine.'" "Shut up, Spock," replied McCoy, his bewilderment over what had happened to Spock eclipsing his pleasure at being able to have the Vulcan under his thumb. "Until I find out what's wrong with you, you're not going anywhere. You collapsed on the bridge, do you call that 'fine'?" "My assessment was of my present condition," said Spock, lifting his head to indicate the diagnostic screen overhead. "As to what caused my temporary collapse, I have no idea." "What did you feel, Spock?" Kirk asked.

"Who's the doctor here?" said McCoy to Kirk, acidly. "Well, Spock? What did you feel?" "A momentary numbness," said Spock, "almost a sensation of coldness in my mind, if such a description could apply to tissue which is unable to register any such sensation. Not so much pain as a sudden absence of sensation, one might say." "None of which is much help," said McCoy, almost to himself. "My apologies, Doctor," said Spock, with every appearance of sincerity.
