McCoy had his arms folded set in the middle of the turbo lift dressed in dark attire consisting of a jacket, a shirt, pants, and boots. His pyyhra necklace stood out while resting on his baby smooth chest. Spock was in a blue buttoned up shirt and black long pants that nicely completed his attire going nicely with his long boots. McCoy didn't seem to be happy. Kirk let out a sigh turning in the direction of the Vulcan giving him a "this is your boyfriend" kind of expression. Spock straightened his tilted head turning in the direction of the stubborn human.

"Doctor, please come out of the turbo lift," Spock requested.

"This is a visit for you mother," Kirk said.

"Ya met her," McCoy reminded. "Once," Spock said, briefly.

"Jim has," McCoy said.

"Nice lady," Kirk said, with a fond warm smile. Spock turned his attention toward the captain.

"Explain to me why he has rescinded his decision to get off," Spock said.

"Because I am joining you two," Kirk said. "and she'll think we're boyfriends."

"We are friends," Spock said.

"Besides, I get along better with the chancellor," Kirk said. "we did eliminate their previous chancellor who was a machine five years ago. Asides to the difficulties the chancellor are having since then, well, he is still struggling to handle that issue. He'll understand the visit and emergency beam out from me. He doesn't really like you, Bones."

"What do ya expect?" McCoy asked. "I was the rat." "Bones," Kirk said. "I will be on duty as captain while you're visiting your mother."

"Preferably, I like ya to visit her just not in the same room as Spock and I because she'll jump to conclusions," McCoy said. "naturally."

"I can do that," Kirk said. "Come on, don't make me beg."

McCoy sighed rolling then stepped out of the turbo lift. The three men made their way toward the transporter room. Keenser was on duty from behind the barrier to the circular transporter padd. Kirk was in his standard yellow uniform appearing to be happy given the circumstance. McCoy,on the other hand, was grumpy by the man's side and across from him was Spock whose hands were locked behind his back. The two men boarded the transporter padd. Kirk nodded toward Keenser then they vanished in a golden haze into another scenery. They reappeared in the federation embassy. Kirk's smile grew wider and beamed even more at the sight of the dark blue man with a light blue, hairy goatee. His long dark robes was colorful with jets of unique colored designs that started beneath the long, pointy elegant neck collars.

"Chancellor Ohalis!" Kirk said. "Good to see you again." the captain walked off the transporter padd.

"As to you, Captain Kirk," Ohalis said, greeting him with a equally as welcoming smile. It looked menacing toward McCoy. "Commander Spock, and . . ." his eyes landed on the doctor stifling back a frown. "Doctor McCoy," the words were not friendly toward the human. A unhappy look was in the Fa-tukie's eyes. His bright blue eyes more fierce than Kirk's that were kind and soft as stardust. It was like a tsunami of dangerous bright flames was in his eyes. "welcome. I received your transmission. What brings you here?"

"Family matters," Kirk said. "My chief medical officer and his boyfriend are here not as officers of star fleet. Your main hospital is holding Eleanor McCoy, his mother," Ohalis's eyes light up.McCoy felt his heart sink as a bad feeling over took his gut. He started to regret coming to visit Eleanor. For her health and her safety. "whose quite ill and would be preferably transported back to the Enterprise if it is recommended for her recovery by her doctors. If it's clear by you and her doctors, at least."

"Yes, yes, yes," Ohalis said. "there is some paperwork for that."

"Great," Kirk said, clapping his hands together. "that'll be excellent. Where do I sign?"

"Her doctors will be there," Ohalis said. "you need to speak with them at the facility. They need to be present at the signing."

Kirk nodded.

"More the merrier," Kirk said, as McCoy took a hold on Spock's hand.

Spock sent back a wave of reassurance and comfort through the developing link that was still growing between them through the mind. Spock's fingers clenched keeping the human's fingers entangled against his palm.

"Right this way," Ohalis said. Kirk looked over toward McCoy.

"See?" Kirk said. "Smooth ride," his eyes landed on the two's then toward McCoy looking at them proudly and lovingly. He mouthed, "I'm so proud of you two!" then turned away to follow after the chancellor. Kirk walked after the shorter man. The two men followed after the captain while holding hands. No one actually paid attention to it. If any did, they mostly found that sweet than anything. But the recognition of the doctor earned spiky, furious glares. McCoy's concerns eased down for the situation. He ignored the glares aimed straight on his back. McCoy's feelings regarding the whole situation went to the back burner. The doctor felt safe alongside the Vulcan. It helped to know that he was not alone. His mind was eased off the uncomfortable feelings being in the embassy was giving him.

"I heard there's been some disappearances during the campaigning season," Kirk said.

"My opponents will be found, in due time," Ohalis said, with a nod. "only the most protected will survive."

"Shame the political climate has become this way," Kirk said. "such is life. Any investigations done to find out the culprits?"

"It's a very secretive, high profiled investigation. Discreet," Ohalis said. "surely, but slowly."
