Excellent. Wish there were more Capt. Pike stories this good. Wish it was longer. JWF

OhmiGOSH! Djinn, this was incredible-so simple, yet so beautiful. You are an amazing writer, and you have captured the tension and depth of these two characters. Thank you thank you.

Nice.
Thanks for exploring these minor characters.

Ahh. Wonderful. People tend to forget about Christopher Pike and Number One. It only seems natural to seen them together. Bravo!
