Summary
“Empok Nor is controlled by some kind of—beast. It’s told Quark that it will provide the parts that we need, but in exchange, it requires a doctor.”
How naïve Julian had been. “I’d be happy to assist, sir.”

Summary
He couldn’t say why, exactly, he wanders into the tailor’s shop one morning. He buys strictly off-the-rack and the only suit he’s ever had tailored was his wedding suit. Maybe it’s that as he walks past, he hears a radio playing the repetitive “beep…beep…beep” of Sputnik passing overhead. It’s not a particularly pleasant sound, in the abstract, but for some people—like him—it might as well be the comforting sound of a heartbeat.

Summary
Jim realizes that, with his head tilted down like this, his mark is fully exposed to Spock. “So. I guess it looks familiar,” he says. Spock doesn’t answer. “Or you’re struck dumb because you’ve just never seen such a crummy soul-mark like that before.”
“I am already betrothed,” Spock says stiffly. “Vulcans do not place the same significance on such a marking as humans do.”
