Summary
Scotty comforts Charlene Masters after the events in The Alternative Factor.
A/N: This story was inspired by my learning that the original script for the TOS episode The Alternative Factor called for Charlene Masters to be romantically involved with two men: Riddle-a fellow crewman and Lazarus- the hero/villain of the story. The original plot read a lot like The Space Seed, the episode where Khan seduces a female crewman with his huge pecs into betraying the entire crew. They were forced to change the story at the last minute due to pressure from the southern networks when they hired a black actress to play Charlene. So, here is a short story resurrecting the romance angle that fits into the episode as aired.
