Disclaimer: Star Trek belongs to Gene Roddenberry, mostly, but also a lot of other people/groups like Paramount, J.J. Abrams, and the various writers/directors. I'm not one of those people, sadly, because if I was I'd be filthy rich.

Summary: Jim quickly realized he was going to have to break the rules if he wanted to survive on the Enterprise.
A/N: So there was DISASTER when getting this chapter out. I'm staying at jelost's house for the week, and lo and behold, there's a fucking tornado warning. So this massive storm came and shut the power off for almost thirteen hours, just when I was in the middle of writing the last section of this. Then the power was out for about 14-15 hours, and then when it came back on, the internet was broke. So I had to wait for jelost to get home from work so she could fix it b/c kicking it did nothing and I had no more ideas. AND THEN WHEN I'D FINALLY GOTTEN ALMOST TO THE END OF THIS CHAPTER--Word crashed seven times in ten minutes and I had to write the rest of it in Notepad, and re-write a bunch that Word had made into *'s and boxes. DDDDDDD: Apologies to everybody, but especially to animegirl0087 who bribed me with Star Trek merch to get this part out yesterday AND to nix_this who bribed me with more fanart to get this part out sooner than I did. I AM EPIC FAIL, but it's really not my fault this time! Oh, and in case anyone's curious/counting, I've hit over 100,000 words in my Apogee Word file. A bunch of it hasn't been posted yet, but still... \o/ Also, I really want to write some porn.

LIFE IS PAIN

Not that anyone cares since I just updated Apogee, but I'll be trying to catch up on the comments tonight. I'll wait a bit before I start though, you know, just to get really behind on everything. *headdesk*

Also, does anyone have any good ideas about what to do if Word keeps on crashing and then re-formatting your shit into *'s and boxes? Besides using Notepad, I mean. EPIC FAIL, WORD.

And, I'm re-posting an edited version of the author's note on Apogee 9 for non-Apogee flisters who might care about my awful past two days:
