This was a project I made for FTH 2024! The bidder wanted a little McSpirk story, so I wrote this up (although they suggested the mind/body/soul connection, an excellent point!). They were also very gracious in letting me try to ink in a different way, definitely a learning process! And of course, thanks so very much for the donation!

"Sargon was enormously advanced, Captain. I shall... consider it."

"I didn't realize this moment took place in the distant future. And so there I was, looking at myself in the mirror. It's hard to explain. I just remember thinking 'Oh my god Saavik. Saavik lived a good life. This woman lived a good life, she had purpose. Her life had meaning' it's like life had been good to this character."
