An intriguing beginning; I like the unfolding relationship between Kirk and Spock.
The one thing that really didn't work for me in canon was the romance between Spock and Uhura. It just felt like it was thrown it in there. I couldn't honestly see Spock being so unprofessional as to engage in a relationship with a cadet, being intimate with her whilst on duty, and changing her placement to the Enterprise at her request. I felt it did a disservice to Uhura's character by reducing her to an object of interest/desire for Spock and Kirk. Sorry, I'm rambling... Anyway, I enjoyed this and I look forward to reading the next chapter :)
