Summary
On Stardate 49632.7, Federation Ambassador Spock is aboard an Orion ship passing through the Neutral Zone with a trader, who is curious as to why Spock is taking this trip through the Neutral Zone. The trader is also curious as to why a Vulcan would go to Romulus. Spock then has a flashback to 78 years ago, when he is still a captain in Starfleet and is transporting from the USS Victory to the USS Enterprise-B under Captain Harriman, who welcomes Spock on board. Harriman says it was an honor to meet and that his crew missed him at the christening. Harriman then apologizes to Spock for bringing it up. Harriman shows Spock a plaque that he had installed after leaving the spacedock for repairs. The plaque reads "James T. Kirk, Captain of the Enterprise". Though it's against regulations, Harriman felt it was the right thing to do. Spock sees it as an "understandable" impulse and Kirk was just following instincts. Harriman tells Spock that he was ready for the job, but was overconfident. Harriman had no idea, since the moment came, he froze and what Kirk thought of his replacement for captain of the Enterprise. Spock reassures Harriman that Kirk bore him no ill will. Harriman sees it as not promising to his career as captain, losing the great James T. Kirk. Spock reassures again that he saved the lives of 47 people and that he has nothing to be ashamed of. Harriman then remembers what Kirk told him on the bridge the day he was "killed":
- "Risk is part of the game, if you want to sit in that chair."
Despite only knowing Kirk briefly, Kirk taught Harriman much. Harriman then tells Spock that he's sorry about his loss and says that Spock must miss Kirk. The scene then goes back to present-day Spock, where Spock is still being asked as to why he was on Romulus.
