   Summary

   Surviving Khan was hard. Rebuilding the ship was exhausting. But watching James Kirk and Spock orbit each other in a painfully respectful, platonic "non-romance" is the Enterprise's true endurance test.

   No one can take it anymore. Not Engineering, not Sickbay, not Navigation. When direct intervention fails, the crew decides that the only way to cope with the galaxy's slowest slow burn is to turn it into a spectator sport with cash prizes.
