The Doctor’s POV-
This is insane. How am I supposed to save
Ambassador Sarek without the necessary blood? I am a damned fine physician and
I know Vulcan physiology almost as well as human but damn it…T negative factor
cells are just so damned rare. It amazes me that Sarek and Amanda were ever
able to produce a child. It should have been impossible. I mean a regular
normal Vulcan perhaps…
It is often said that Spock was the first
Human / Hybrid child. Well that is not strictly true. He is the first born to
the line of Surak. Their rare blood makes children difficult to conceive even
among Vulcans. I always thought that was one of the purposes of bonding to
ensure genetic compatibility. I mean Vulcans are the best genetic scientists in
the quadrant. I sigh and take sip of my now cold coffee. Damn it I will not
lose him. Sarek may be an arrogant conceited SOB but Spock needs to mend his
fences there. And Lady Amanda well … clearly she adore that damned pointy eared
stubborn son of a bitch. I find I quite like Spock’s mother she is a strong
woman. I would guess she would have to be to put up with those two. I
pace and stop and think. There has to be a way to separate out the human
factors. I know there is I just have to remember how. Suddenly it hits me and I
run to the computer.
“Computer display the FMJ star date
2707/3/23.” I command
“Specify topic.” The computer responds.
“Damn it begin page at the index.” I order.
Sometimes I hate that damned machine.
The display appears and I not the article.
“Show new blood filtering techniques of the Andorian please.”
The display appears and I smile. I have
it. I have a way. Just then Spock comes in.
“Dr. McCoy I have a solution to the
problem a new Rigellian drug It will allow me to
produce enough blood for both my f---Ambassador Sarek and myself.”
“Let me see the data. I have found a way
to filter the blood. We can isolate the T-negative factors in your blood and
add plasma. I just wish we had another donor for at least the plasma.”
“My mother can donate plasma doctor.”
Spock says casually.
I look up and am certain shock is showing
on my face.
“How?”
“She has done so before. When I was injured. So, she can donate to me. Then I can
give to the ambassador.”
I look at him not quite believing it.
However there is no real time to argue. “Alright I will
test her. Maybe… I can filter her blood as well for you.”
Maybe as she is his mother and she did give
him half of his genetic code…
Spock’s brow rises as the Captain Stumbles
in. He is wounded and Spock leaves to assume command. It may well be a mote
point. However my first immediate concern is Captain Kirk as he is
bleeding all over my sick bay.
Can anything else go wrong?
----------
I put Lady Amanda’s blood into the machine
to filter it. I am looking to isolate the properties that Spock’s blood has. As
the machine stops I take a sample and look under a microscope. I step away and
wipe my eyes. I am getting really tired that is the only excuse for this. I
look again. Now what I see is impossible. I place the specimen on a computer
scanner and order. “Computer analyses the blood sample
identify all genetic characteristics by species and by subspecies if possible.”
“Working, analyzing .
This blood contains the human factors of AB Negative. The human race as defined
as mixed species.. Carrying characteristics of the
indo- European race, Augments and Native Americans secondary species Markers
are Vulcan. Rating to the House of Inyana
blood factors T negative. Species match to equal the House of Surak.”
I stand there frozen then ask “House Inyana define who is significant to that house? What does
this mean?” There is no way a human can have Vulcan Genes? At least not without them being put there. I know Amanda
Grayson is human isn’t she?
“Working, House Inyana
was the house that gave the Matriarch to clan Surak. T’Inya.
House Inyana changed names when T’Inya’s
sister assumed the role of matriarch upon the bonding of Surak to T’Inya.”
“Define the blood quantum of the sample.”
I order not believing this is possible.
“Working, Blood quantum is 1/4th human,
2/4th augment and 1/4th Vulcan.”
I sit down stunned at this revelation. It
is impossible. “How far back?”
“Please list parameters of the search.”
“How far back would the changes have to be
to achieve this outcome? List generation sequence the DNA and isolate all said
markers.”
“Working, Human DNA is the primary
building block. Vulcan DNA the secondary block and Augment the last block.”
I am absolutely stunned at this. I had
expected the augment DNA to explain the other changes. To explain how Vulcan
DNA got into a human. Before I can delve deeper Ambassador Sarek’s monitors go
off. I have no choice now. I do surgery or he dies…
--------------------------------
The Captain has gone to the bridge to send
Spock down. I hope this ruse works. I really do not think Lady Amanda would
survive the ambassadors passing. She looks so concerned. Damn I hate to do
this.
------------------------------
Damn it Jim hold the bloody ship steady. I
am not carving a turkey here. I work to complete the delicate surgery and
wonder why I ever thought being a doctor would be simple. Did I ever think it
be just routine? I never considered I be doing life or death surgery in the
middle of combat. I must have been insane to think it be simple.
I walk back into the main life center and
toss my dirty scrubs into the recycling bin. The fresh scrubs feel good and
clean and for a moment I pause to consider.
The surgery is done and a success I think
we have done all we can now it is up to Sarek and Spock to heal. I am so tired.
I collapse on my chair and look at Nurse Chapel. She had been a trooper. I know
full well how she feels about Spock but she done her duty well. I am a doctor
but it is always hard to work on my friends. How much harder to work on the man
you love? I am definitely putting her in for a commendation I could never have
done this without her. Her kindness and compassion helped me and everyone else.
I have to admire how she even manages to get those stubborn Vulcans to eat.
“Sit down and be quiet. My God Spock you almost died. So, for
once you will lay there and be quiet. Nurse if he gets out of line you may stun
him.”
Spock brow rises at this.
I watch the banter between the family and
smile. So, they have begun to heal the breach. Thank God Lady Amanda deserves
peace. Lord knows she has the patience of a saint to put up with those two.
“Emotional isn’t she?” Spock says to Sarek
“She always has been so.” He replies. This
gets him a playful slap from his wife.
“Oh you,” she says. “I am human.” Her
smile lights up the room and I can see why even Sarek fell in love. I have no
doubt now he loves her. How could he not? She is radiant and her smile is just
for him.
Sarek seems to almost smile. “Yes, my very
human wife.”
I can not believe that they are joking?
Spock? What does he mean by my very human wife? Damn it he knows! Sarek knows
she's not just human!
“Why did you marry her?” Spock asks
Oh, lord what a question to ask your old
man? Sarek’s reply tells me he definitely has a sense of humor. A dry sense but
it is humor who would have thought?
“It seemed like the logical thing to do at
the time.”
Logical, right and what was logical about
it Sarek? I heard it all now love is logical? I wonder if Spock will ever
understand what his father is saying. I barely
contain my laughter and Jim is laughing and groaning clearly it hurts. Serves him right. I will come straight to the sick bay. In a pigs eye. Of course I order them all to sit quietly and
not even think of getting up. The last word at last…
Of course this does present a problem. How
do I figure out how the Very Human Amanda Grayson has Vulcan and Augment Genes?
Damn sometimes wining an argument leaves me at a loss!
The End
