Pike stepped forward, letting the door close behind him. He studied the after effects of McCoy's care as it sat like a shivering pup in the wind on the biobed in front of him. Kirk looked more animal than human, but that was little different than normal. Kirk had an animal's cunning and intelligence, mixed with human knowledge that made him a deadly opponent.
His steps were loud in the silence of the room, only the faint sound from the biobed reading out Kirk's life in the form of statics. Pike imagined to McCoy those sounds were music, speaking to him words that only a doctor would truly understand and only a sadist would enjoy. At least, only in this universe. He well imagined that in the other it would be quite a different story.
Kirk resembled a waif, an animal, but Pike would not underestimate him. An animal cornered such as this was far more likely to lash out without warning. "Kirk."
