The Equation, the Sensor Reading and Uhura's Matrix......

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 19861

Joan

"I believe I could help a little here, Mr. Spock," I say, calling something up on my own PDA, "Mind if I do?"

Quirked eyebrow and a slight nod is all I need.

Dr. Vincent's Grand Science/Magic Unified Theory Equation (re: 8870) opens the door. Me suggesting the needed adjustments for Scottie to use the Enterprise's sensor's to "watch" as Synizn casts various spells (with an increasingly bewildered McCoy) to aid his unconcious patients opens it further to where they.....along with input from Spock's logic...finally gets them believing....and worried....

I fear that it also causes a problem for my sister, Uhura. See, while she's an exact duplicate atom for atom....it turns out that they are "re- scrambled" atoms which still have the magical "taint" of transformation on them. It seems that whoever did what they did in changing a male dragonslayer named Frederigo D'Honaire into an exact duplicate of this reality's Uhura....had actually just transformed her (re-arranging those atoms into a rather beautiful figure....if I can use myself as a measuring stick)....

Well, that magical taint was discovered. Spock, always the sharp one, has inspiration or something and tries to check her quantum signature. Given a few years the original atoms that make up Uhura's body would have been assimilated/exchanged with "native" atoms of this universe (through natural biological functions like eating, breathing, etc)....where it wouldn't have shown. Now? Oh, you just BET it shows!

She's from another universe entirely...and her body still has the atom that still have that signature to prove it.

Boy, does that cause commotions! Especially when, in private, she reveals what she had.....been.

Somewhere along the lines (I refused to leave my sister's side....and Kirk's wishs otherwise be damned) the question about.....sexual orientation came up.....

.......

Pardon as I roll my eyes....

Synizn, tired, patiently explained that at first such "tastes" would remain the same. A man turned woman would still like women if that was the case before. That would eventually shift as the Matrix adjusted and such. It would flip flop after a while to where the new woman would like men. Magical "conditioning" (like from mages or unicorns...like in my case) can make the transition much smoother...and safer....

Always the danger of insanity if one refuses the changes demanded and all that....

Heh.

Kirk, if I remember, had in that one TV show Betty showed us....had his mind transferred into a woman.....

He looks positively green around the gills as he quickly changes the subject....

I have to hide my smile at that one....

The real acid test is coming up....with a somewhat hesitant (and embarrassed....if I can somehow detect it behind that emotional mask he wears) Spock making ready for a mind meld with the now.....rankless.....Uhura.....

If it shows (as I know it will) that Uhura isn't really as she appears (you know what I mean)....

Well, it means that she's going to find herself wearing civillian clothing..... She is, after all, not the one who attended Star Fleet Academy and all that.....despite the knowledge and skills....

.....

I get a feeling that Kirk's hands are just tied in this odd situation.....should suggest to my sister, however, that the Star Fleet I and the Military deal with is much more.....palpable than this place's version of it....

Even allows families on ships, still. Have to smile about my sister wanting to be a mother....that meeting of souls that Jarlath told me of finished off the shift....he says. That probably explains the mass resignations of all the women on the Enterprise upon awakening, despite being freed from the hostile alien entity. What happened to my sister happened to them as well.....and they all want to be full time mothers.

.......Oh boy....

Kirk isn't happy.....and I don't know what to feel about it....

!

Wait, I can tell them about my Star Fleet as well....

Later.

Right now...

Don't know whether to feel sorry for Kirk right now....considering the massive influx of crewmembers on the next stop with all those resignations.....

Ah, but here it comes, that Mindmeld.....

Maybe afterwards we can talk Kirk on trying to somehow find the "real" Uhura. That one planet where this trouble for the Enterprise may be a starting point.....maybe....

After we find some way to make sure nothing like those possession/pregnancies don't happen again or something.....

I talked with the others. They want to at least see about helping Uhura (this one and the missing one) before seeing about getting back....

  1. "Remember what I told you about my Star Fleet," I whisper to Uhura as she's about ready to go over.
