DEAR DR.
McCOY
I want to scream,
to die, to hide, to kill.
Faced with the truth, I wish I could deny.
I feel angry, upset, ashamed and ill.
Damn this
machine, why cant it tell a lie?
It started with
a mundane order.
"Nurse Chapel, the new equipment is here.
Run diagnostics on the medical tricorder.
I never trusted
this newfangled gear."
I ran all the
standard tests before lunch.
Then went to the mess hall for a salad.
Went into your office on a wild hunch,
To see
if random readings might be valid.
Georgian and
Vulcan DNA combined.
The facts are clear, burned into my mind.
