THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER

T'Lin - September 2000

Strange ... I've often wondered how it all began. The speculation ... the rumors ... the total fantasy that is my sex life.

To hear the tales of my shipmates, I've slept with every female, or close proximity, that the ENTERPRISE has encountered. Truth be told ... I've never slept with a woman! Not even Carol Marcus (though that is a tale for another time).

Oh ... I don't deny the flirtation ... I have a reputation to maintain ... and another to protect ... but regardless of the outward appearance, I only have eyes for my t'hy'la ... Spock.
