A short story in mini-chapters. Read what happens when a little bit of trouble visits our favorite officers on deck five of the Enterprise.

This title nagged at me for 30 years, and finally here is a tale to go with it. The timeframe is post ST: The Final Frontier. This piece of fluff rightly belongs after "Doppelgangers" in my Star Trek: Beyond series, but it is just too frivolous, so I'm sticking it in The Black Hole with all the other misfits.

A tale of betrayal and redemption. No longer a member of Starfleet, Spock takes on occasional diplomatic assignments for the Federation---but when dramatic change comes to Vulcan, he reacts on a personal level and is drawn into history's current. The decisions that await him will change his life forever.

2265 - The U.S.S. Constitution prepares to depart for it's final five year mission under a new commander, Captain Alexander Marshall.  Marshall, the son of one of the ship's former captains, struggles with finding his own indentity in a place with so much history.

On the frontier, the Tandarans have captured a Federation envoy while attempting to extend their borders into Federation space.  It is up to the crew of the Constitution to rescue the envoy.  Surrounded by old friends, and new crewman, Marshall must decide the best course of action to get the envoy back.

When the Endurance encounters a terrifyingly strong unseen enemy while on a routine patrol, Commander Dar Thavalan, the ship’s CMO, is forced to take command.  Severely injured in the ensuing firefight, she is nursed back to health by a newly-minted Starfleet doctor.

 She is determined to have Starfleet Command investigate the incident and identify the unknown assailant in order to protect other Federation vessels from this invisible foe, but Command is just as determined to sweep the entire incident under the rug.

Written for the TToT 2014 Collaboration Station.

Did you ever wonder how color re-entered the bland world of Starfleet after ST:TMP? This story was written to address that issue, as well as a helpful critique by Trekfan regarding Spock and Sulu's relationship in "Cristabeth" (which now follows this one in my Star Trek:Beyond series). I have also made appropriate adjustments in "Cristabeth".
