�How�re things in the sick bay, Bones?� Kirk asked as he seated himself at the table in the wardroom. McCoy took his feet off the table and leaned forward. �Damnedest thing I ever saw. I jumped all over M�Benga and Nurse Chapel. I had them go over every single gadget in the place�and guess what they found?� �All the instruments worked perfectly. Not a malfunction in the lot.� �You�re telepathic. Some mutant gene give you precognition?� said McCoy in amazement. �That�s exactly what happened. I tried out several of the computer-assisted devices myself, and they worked as well as if they were brand spanking new. I was in mortal fear all the while I operated on Kalan that those turncoat machines would give out on me, but they didn�t. And now all of them are working.� Kirk nodded. Lt. Avitts and Spock entered, both looking vaguely uneasy. �Be seated, please,� Kirk said, motioning to a pair of seats next to him. �I wanted a few words with you before Dr. Threllvon-da beams up. Lt. Avitts, have you conferred with Mr. Spock on the nature of the crystal?� He watched her reactions carefully. Her answer didn�t matter to him, but the way she phrased it meant a great deal. The woman appeared as calm as she ever had been when Spock�s name was mentioned. She turned slightly toward the science officer, a fleeting smile dancing on her lips, but that was the only response. She acted more like an officer aboard a starship than a lovesick teen-aged girl now. �Yes, sir, but we have little to report without a full analysis of the jewel. As long as it�s inside Class 7-E force shields, with six centimeters of rodinium box inside that, we have scant opportunity to study it.� �Are there any radiation cells available where you could open the box and examine it?� �Captain Kirk, that crystal is not giving off any detrimental radiation,� said the woman. �We�ve been over it with every possible radiation monitoring device. From cosmic rays through radio waves, there is nothing of a harmful nature.� �I know, but my order is that the rodinium box is never to be opened unless inside a radiation cell, using the most stringent precautions possible. Is that clear?� �Yes, sir, but�� �No buts, Lieutenant. I�m not a scientist as you are, but I have theories of my own concerning the crystal. I believe it is�.�.�.�� Kirk was interrupted by the blue-skinned Andorian scientist�s arrival. �There you are, Kirk. A major find in the city, yes, a major find. This is even more exciting than the rail transportation system we found that ran under the streets. This is the motive power for the piezoelectric walls in the city. Would you believe they used a thermal gradient device? As long as there is a heat difference between the city and the surface, electricity is supplied to the walls. Remarkable, isn�t it? We can learn much from this city, Kirk.� �Uh, yes, Dr. Threllvon-da, I�m sure we can.
