Yes, I even missed McCoy's grumbling.

Most people would disagree with you.

I know, sir. I'm a bit of an oddity when it comes to that. Call it a good working relationship.

[Jim chuckles and nods.]

Without you I doubt sickbay would run as smoothly as it does. You keep Bones on track.

Thank you, sir. I definitely try and make sure that his diatribes are kept to two per day. And I think he usually delivers them to you.

And most of them are about Spock which means the words rarely change.

That's true. We need to work on him getting annoyed with other things.

[Jim laughs and shakes his head.]

Maybe we should think about getting him less annoyed with things.

[It's Christine's turn to laugh.]

I was only trying to be realistic, captain. We have to take baby steps with McCoy.

I know but he's driving Spock crazy and that's not an easy thing to figure out.

Hmmm, all right. For the sake of the crew then we better figure this out. You're one of his best friends - any suggestions?

Telling him to calm down hasn't worked that much I know.

Lock them in a room until that forces them to get along?

The idea has merit......it would drive the rest of the crew nuts but it would be worth it.

I think a little discomfort for the sake of McCoy and Spock getting along is worth it.

I agree with you there.

So how do we make this happen? Do we lure them to a rec room and lock the door?

I would say find somewhere in sickbay and lock them in.

We have fairly large supply closet. Just bandages and sheets in here.

Perfect and with you watching the door they won't get out.

Precisely. I think we have a plan, sir.

[Kirk grins.]

You do realize they are going to kill us right?

Oh yes. But I think that it will be worth it.

If it means those two get along yes it will.

Well, it's worth a try. It can't make things worse.

We can hope.

So when should we put this plan into action?

As soon as possible is what I say.

Tonight? As soon as McCoy is finishing his shift?

Spock finishes his shift at the same time so that would work out great.

Perfect. You lead him down to medical and I'll make sure that McCoy is near the supply closet.

[Jim grins and holds out a hand.]

I think we have a plan.

[Christine grins and shakes it.]

That we do. See you later tonight, sir.
