It’s a quiet beta shift on the enterprise. Shore leave is in effect with much of the crew planet side leaving a late night stroll available for the ships captain and first officer. The quiet halls feel warm and comfortable. More like home than any other place. In this dusky peace the masks of command can drop. Finally like a long breath out a moment, a touch, in time can be stolen.
I’m reading the old Star Trek books from the 70s hunting for vintage spirk and in a fun short story from Star Trek: The New Voyages 2 Kirk and a bunch of other crew members accidentally end up swapping genders (but not Spock 👀). It’s a 70s look at this idea so it’s pretty problematic but it does delve into some interesting thought processes especially considering it’s written by women. I would love to see a modern Star Trek show like Discovery take a crack at this especially now that we think about gender and identity differently than we did then. Anyway from an early time in the story everyone keeps going on about how beautiful kirk’s female body is so I thought I’d give drawing it a try.
