Excerpt, Memories, by Dr.Leonard McCoy > I visited Jim Kirk during that time after the V'ger affair. We had gone on for some time in space and had a series of adventures I'm afraid paled somewhat in comparison to that experience. Oh, the Enterprise was fine, better than ever, in fact, much like a patient not only made healthy but made better by an experience.  But, in time, we were ordered back to Earth. The crew was dispersed here and there. My old sparring partner Spock took over the final assessment of cadets in his usual manner. Chekov was transferred to the Nelson. Dr.Chapel went to Vega for research there. Scott went on the Academy staff, chaffing as always at being out of action.  Sulu was on staff, too, until he wrangled a berth on the Republic. Uhura taught Emergency Communications for a while, then she, too, managed an assignment to the Hornet. Scott went aboard the Yorktown when Massoglia caught a minor radiation sickness.  And I plugged away, the only one stuck permanently with a staff job. Maybe it's dissent for doctors. We do the patch jobs, fixing up from the actions done by others. But it was Jim who seemed to suffer the most.  I know he wanted to get back into space. But, being the good officer he is, he also wondered if perhaps he wasn't getting just a bit too old for the job. Starship captains are young, at least by the standards of the old sailing ships and the first interplanetary vessels. Those pioneering astronauts were not teenagers either.  I visited him at his San Francisco quarters when we were both on leave. We drank and reminisced and laughed, and I think he was both glad and sad to see me. Glad of the comradeship, glad of the memories we started, and saddened, too, because it seemed to have come to an end.  "Maybe I won't get a ship ", he said.  "Jim, you're valuable to Starfleet right where you are ", I said. "How many ship's captains have been through what you've been? You've got to help those kids. It's a bizarre universe out there; you must give them a hand, a chance at survival ".  He had nodded and said I was right, but I knew his heart was not in agreement. Men like Jim Kirk, they should die with their boots on, die on a strange world under a distant sun. To die of old age, on Earth, in a most ordinary way, that was not the proper finish for a man like Kirk.  Understand: He was not morbid, not sorry for himself, not suicidal, not angry. He said to me, "Bones, I remember once, when I was a young man, at college-- the campus was still in Westwood then, though it hadn't looked like those postcard campuses in decades. I was driving to the beach at Malibu. Has a fine little Turboford. I saw this woman. I was sixteen, I guess. She was, of, twenty. Had that kind of beauty that looks okay at first glance, better at second look, stunning at third, and you are in love at fourth ".  "She looked at me. Our eyes met. She smiled. I was too dumb, too young, too anything to react. She was watering a lawn. Little strip of green in front of an arcolog. Blondish hair, blue jumper. I remember every detail ".  "And? " I prompted.  "And the light changed, the air traffic started thundering by, I moved on and never saw her again ".  "Jim, you've seen a lot of women since then ".  "Yes, Bones, I know. I never knew her name, never saw her, never tried to find her. But I remember her ".  "Ships that pass in the night ", I said, trying to lighten it up. I poured him some wine.  "Missed opportunity. That's the way I feel now. The feel's going on without me. I'm beached. A has been ".  I'm afraid I laughed. He glanced at me for a second before he relaxed. "You'll never be a has-been, Jim ", I said. "What you are is an individual in preparation to be ".  "Be what? "  "Be anything. Look what you've gone through. You've done things no man has ever done before. You and Spock-- you saved the Earth, Jim. V'ger was going to-- "  He cut the short. He smiled ruefully. "But what have I done lately? "  I had no answer for that. We talked of other things, of old shipmates, of starships lost and starships returned, of Saurean brandy and Tribbles, of shoes and ships and cabbages.  I left looking after midnight. We were both mellow, but there was an edge to his mood, a sadness. < Excerpt, Memories, by Dr.Leonard McCoy >  V'ger äºä»¶ã®åŸã§ãžã .ã«ãŒã¯ã蚪ããæã®äºã ããã®æãç§ãã¡ã¯å®å®ãžå±
