. . . One hour and thirty-two minutes later . . .

"The Vulcan hasn't left the man's side." Nurse Joy said.

Doctor House raised his dark bushy eyebrow.

"Ah,really?" House asked.

"Yes, doctor." Nurse Joy said.

Our scene makes way into the private medical room on Earth. Scotty Prime was somewhere else, doing something about "A beagle that my counterpart lost. I am going tae redirect the IP address tae the planet he is on and make it arrive there. I will also send him the formula for transwarp." Scotty Prime was in a building that specialized in transporters and ran tests on these from time to time.

House walked into the room.

"Sir," House said. "I am the doctor who will be operating--"

"Negative, you will not." Spock Prime said.

House stopped, as the old Vulcan turned his head toward him.

"Then who?" House asked, coming to the old Vulcan's side.

"I want Doctor Leonard Horatio McCoy to operate on him." Spock Prime said.

"There is no Doctor McCoy in Star Fleet." House said.

"That is the only man I trust to operate on my friend," Spock Prime said. "Find him. He is in Star Fleet." He looked over toward his friend who's bleeding had been stopped thirty-two minutes ago by the advanced medical items of the day. He needed surgery to remove some metal in his back pressing against some of his spinal plates. "I will not accept your operation."

"Who do you think you are?" House asked.

"I am his friend," Spock Prime said. "And you are someone I do not know that well. I come long away."

"He needs to be operated in the hour." House said.

There was only one place that Bones Prime wouldn't be at the time.

"Check the academy." Spock Prime said.

"Who are you again?" House asked.

"My name is Ambassador Spock," Spock Prime said. "And make sure it is made urgent. His life depends on it."

"And the patients name?" House asked.

"Leonard McCoy." Spock Prime said.

"Okay,Ambassador, never heard of you or your friend." House said.

"Now you have." Spock Prime said.

House frowned then he left the room. Scotty Prime came in appearing to be in high spirits. Scotty Prime had a smile on his face and he sat down across from the Vulcan who seemed to be intrigued by what the scotsman's efforts lead to.

"I just returned the beagle tae the facility on Delta Vega," Scotty Prime said. His smile faded looking down upon the resting older man. His gaze landed on the Vulcan. "The captain is in the academy, ain't he?" Spock Prime nodded. "He does nae belong there. He should be out there makin' history becomin' the captain we knew."

"Scott," Spock Prime said. "He won't become the man we know."

"How do you know that?" Scotty asked.

"His father was killed the day he was born," Spock said. "On the USS Kelvin. His brother left at a young age. James T. Kirk was raised by a abusive uncle named Frank Kirk."

Scotty Prime's jaw dropped.

"He was abused?" Scotty Prime raised his voice.

"Lower your voice, Scott." Spock Prime said.

"He was abused?" Scotty Prime said, his voice lowered with a shocked expression.

"Apparently as the evidence indicates in the medical reports. Three years ago he was on the fast track of numerous misdemeanors and offenses ready to graduate to a further reckless charge," Spock Prime handed the padd to Scotty. "The medical records indicate in his youth, Winona left him in the care of her brother and went exploring." Scotty Prime grew a disgusted expression swiping his fingers on the screen. "He even at point attempted to run away in his uncle's vehicle and drove it off a cliff. Fortunately he came out of the incident with scrapes on his hands and a three day old bruise on his face. His brother, George Samuel Kirk Junior, drifted away and quite succeeded in running away from home when James was thirteen."

Scotty Prime looked up toward Spock Prime.

"Are we talking about the same Kirk family?" Scotty Prime asked.

"Affirmative." Spock Prime said.

"Then why did he go into Star Fleet?" Scotty Prime asked.

"If I know the captain well enough as I believe I do," Spock Prime said. "Someone challenged him to do better than his father and he accepted the challenge."

Scotty Prime put the pad on the table.

"So he never went to Tarsus IV." Scotty Prime said.

Spock Prime nodded.

"His father was stationed on the planet in our timeline," Spock Prime said. "Without George Kirk, the character of James T. Kirk is unsure even to be a captain."

"Tell me the captain got himself out of the abusive household." Scotty Prime said

"He never did." Spock Prime said.

"Poor kid," Scotty Prime said. "And what about Nero?"

"I have sent a urgent message to Star Fleet regarding him and there are currently five vessels going after him." Spock Prime replied.

It was of comfort to Scotty Prime.

"I hope they blast him out of existence." Scotty Prime said.

"Carefully," Spock Prime said. "I mentioned there being red matter."
