The long-suffering doctor heaved a sigh.
I am a researcher, he thought. Why am I always saving his ass?
I could be reading a book. I could be inventing a superweapon.
The doctor hated war, but more and more he was finding it was such wonderful stress relief to invent new ways to kill lots of people. It was cathartic. And then there was the crew...
He sighed again, hoping they would see him and gun him down where he stood. But he knew they wouldn't. The captain was making a scene, and had their full attention. And nobody ever seems to notice the doctor until they need something from him. It said a lot to him that even their own species had members who hated them all. It was all he could do not to burst out in peals of screeching laughter, sometimes. He was glad they bought that line about "we don't have emotions"; His excuse for constantly stonewalling them with a single raised eyebrow.
Creeping in closer, he accidentally tread on a twig, and they finally notice him. They had already beaten the livid shit out of the captain, who was already unconscious. He remembered seeing a clip of the propaganda that they have Earthside. Ridiculous stuff, he thought. Nerve pinch? Apparently choking people wasn't a gallant way to save the day. The mooks hefted their shitty sticks and came at him. Time for the Deus ex Machina. He smiled unpleasantly.
Hah! Nice one.
If you don't mind, I did notice a few things.
First and foremost, he isn't a doctor. You might be confusing him with the guy who wrote a book on pediatrics.
:lulz:
It's not exactly canon derived, but he is the science officer. I just sort of assumed for the sake of the story. :)
Perhaps it's a personal thing, I just got confused for a second because there's a more "obvious" doctor in the landing party, dammit.

Look, Sigmatic is a

I like this.
Yay!
I was thinking about Spock a lot this morning. Mostly it just amused me to death to think about him flipping out and choking a bitch.
