buddy, back the fuck off,” said the man.   He stood a good foot taller than Kirk.
               
    “What the hell’s your problem,” said the woman as she began to back away from Kirk.   Before she made it far, Kirk grabbed her.   He wrapped one arm around her waist, the other around her neck, and pulled her close.
               
    “We shouldn’t….fight…there are more…enjoyable…activities for men and women,” said Kirk as he leaned his face in.  
               
    “Fuck off freak,” yelled the woman and she struggled to get out of his vice-like grip.
               
    The man grabbed Kirk and pulled him off the woman with ease.   He spun Kirk around and punched him squarely in the jaw.   Kirk crumpled to the ground, dazed, as the man and the woman walked off holding hands.
               
    Stephen rushed over.   He could not help but feel bad.   He had been there more than once.
               
    He crouched down next to Kirk.
               
    “ Vulcans …normally…aren’t so emotional,” said Kirk as Stephen helped him to his feet.  
               
    “And…the woman,” Kirk massaged his jaw, “they…normally…like me more.”
               
    “Come on,” said Stephen, “Let’s run down some halls.   It’ll make you feel better.”

    Natalie walked into the main lobby and froze when she saw the massive arched glass entrance and what was on the other side of it.   She stood still and after a moment lit a cigarette, totally disregarding the convention’s no smoking in public places policy.   She walked forward and placed her hand on the glass, staring out in disbelief and terror.  
               
    The sound of a roaring engine shook her out of her trance.   She turned around and looked back at the lobby.   It was a massive room, empty of but a few convention registration tables and a few display cases.   She noticed that there was no one working the tables—there was no one else in the room.  
               
    The engine became louder.   It was coming from ahead of her.   On the opposite side of the room was a set of stairs and an escalator that led up to the second floor and the convention’s museum.  
               
    She then heard screaming and people suddenly came spilling into view, running and tumbling down the stairs and escalator.   Then the vehicle came speeding into sight.   When it hit the stairs, and people trying to get down them, it was ramped into the air.
               
    Natalie watched in amazement as the vehicle flew through the room.   It soared up and down in a graceful arch.   Is that an ambulance and why is a man hanging off the hood were her last two thoughts as it smashed her into the front doors.

 
     
    CHAPTER SIX
     
     
    Bob walked up to the film schedule to see what was currently showing.   As he read, he absentmindedly rubbed his chest, it was still sore from when the security guard had pushed him.   According to the paper, theater two, which he was currently outside of, was in the middle of a Star Trek marathon.   Bob grinned—this would make him feel better after all the shit that had already happened to him.
               
    The theater had a snack stand window just next to the door.   Bob walked up to it and studied the menu.   A bag of popcorn was priced at eighteen dollars.   Bob gasped.   This was an atrocity!   But crunchy popcorn coated with greasy movie theater pseudo-butter would surely hit the spot right now.
               
    He stood at the window grumbling to himself over having to endure yet another indignity.   His outrage turned to annoyance as no salesperson appeared.   He waited a few more minutes and then decided to just go in the theater.   He would rather sit and enjoy the adventures of the USS Enterprise than wait for some volunteer who flaked
