Ho, ho. Katanga is certainly going to shake things up a bit. Not only is he of McCoy's era he is definitely of the McCoy ilk and brand. He's quite a character. He displays the potential to be a firebrand and he is certainly living up the eccentric title to date. He's maybe more mouth than anything - taking many a grand claim - however, he's certainly something of a legacy officer. Heck he even has the admiration of Star!! There must be something to his legend then.
So many good moments here in these exchanges. Thoroughly enjoyable. Great lines from Katanga and asides and running commentary. He's going to prove himself to be a colourful character sitting on the side of the bridge - quietly, keeping to himself - NOT! Very McCoyian. Only thing is, Owens is more Spock than Kirk so it should be interesting to see how that pans out.
And how interesting, a shared history (albeit secret) between Star and Katanga. So she must have been in disguise at the time. Very interesting.

Haha, love Katanga. He's an opinionated, old-school doctor who has no doesn't like uniforms and reminds me a lot of Bones. Not nearly as gruff in some areas, nor as understanding, but very fun. I think I'm going to enjoy seeing him and the crew interact. Fun scene, lots of smiles from me.
Author's Response: Hey, who doesn't like a grumpy old man. Yeah, nobody does it better than Bones, of course but this compatriot is coming mighty close, I think. And I think he may even develop into an interesting foil for Owens who is clearly not used to not getting the last word on his own ship.
