The Wounded Sky	comment	The Wounded Sky is a novel of the Star Trek Expanded Universe by Diane Duane, first published in 1983.The USS Enterprise, under the command of Captain James Kirk, is assigned to test a new space drive that promises to far outstrip the warp drive. During the test, the ship is attacked by Klingons, and then faces a much greater problem when it becomes clear that the new drive is damaging the fabric of space itself.

The Wounded Sky / int_2178cf15	comment	The Sacred Darkness: K't'lk kicks off the new universe with the last words, "let there be dark". Later on, Kirk and McCoy muse that whatever life evolves in that universe, they'll never have to be afraid of the dark.

The Wounded Sky / int_50ca4422	comment	Unresolved Sexual Tension: Scotty and K't'lk. They quite literally can't, what with her being a giant spider, but they really, really want to. To the point where she adds an 's' to her name after her death in honor of him.

The Wounded Sky / int_8f7b77d3	comment	Cargo Ship: In-universe. The Enterprise is, of course, the one great love of Kirk's life. As a result of the new experimental FTL drive that turns out to break down the boundaries of reality itself as an unintended side effect, he has a hallucination in which he appears to directly experience what being a starship is like from the Enterprise's perspective... and that suggests that his feelings may not be unrequited.

The Wounded Sky / int_9a7f6233	type	Fictional Video Game
The Wounded Sky / int_9a7f6233	comment	Fictional Video Game: Sulu put together a spaceflight simulator on the rec deck holotank that lets him play with unconventional sublight combat tactics (flying a starship as if it were a high performance atmospheric fighter). He insists that the underlying physics model is accurate, if on the outer edge of the performance envelope for the Enterprise. Kirk comes in toward the end of a particularly spectacular session where Sulu manages to crash his simulated ship into a Klingon cruiser. A bit later in the book, a situation arises where highly unorthodox sublight combat is called for:

The Wounded Sky / int_a5db3e5	type	Residual Self-Image
The Wounded Sky / int_a5db3e5	comment	Residual Self-Image: Every time the Enterprise uses the experimental drive, the crew members experience a reality based on how they perceive themselves. While Kirk's self-perception is never actually described, McCoy provides a solid clue when he asks "Is that armor getting heavy, Jim?"

The Wounded Sky / int_ff24ad1d	comment	Bawdy Song: Mention is made of "a bawdy ballad about the (improbable) offspring of the marriage between an Altasa and a Vulcan". It's a Shout-Out and Stealth Pun at once—the original song is an Irish folk song about a Catholic and Protestant couple's child. We learn that "the filthiest spacers' song" that Captain Kirk knows is called "The Weird-Looking Thing With All The Eyes And The Asteroid-Miner's Daughter".
