Prompt: Uhura, Gaila - 10 quick fixes for a better bathroom experience
Academy Living How-Tos: Bathroom Edition
Submitted by our guest correspondents, Starfleet's Cadet Gaila and Cadet Uhura.
1. No sex in the shared bathroom.
2. If you manage to break the sink in the bathroom because you are ignoring rule #1, call maintenance to have it fixed before your roommate gets back.
3. If you can't decide which undergarments you want to wear on your hot date, don't leave your discards draped across every available surface.
4. Don't leave your earrings lying around everywhere where someone can knock them onto the floor, step on them by accident, and then get cuts on their feet.
5. Don't leave notes for your roommate written on the mirror in her favorite lipstick. Or any makeup of hers. In fact, don't write on the mirror – it's annoying to clean it off!
6. Don't leave your study notes by the tub if you don't want them to get wet. I'm sure you can take a break from studying for 10 minutes. And if you want to read in the bath, there's some excellent erotic texts I can suggest instead...
7. Don't make your roommate late for classes, study sessions, or their professor's office hours by hogging the bathroom!
8. Don't whine about your roommate's length of time in the shower. Some people find the process to be a spiritual experience and would like some peace and quiet.
9. Do appreciate different customs and habits – you might find that your roommate has pretty great taste overall. Except in men. Or one, in particular. (Really, Gaila? Did it have to be him?)
10. Do appreciate that it could totally be worse, and your roommate is pretty awesome... despite the unreasonable restrictions she places on your sex life. (Just look at him, Nyota!)

Prompt: Kirk, Author's Choice - Starfleet Hero has Wings
Although the source of this medical mystery has yet to be officially identified, sources from aboard the Enterprise wishing to remain anonymous state that the Federation's most popular Captain shared a ″festive″ shore leave with several members of his crew, some lovely natives of the planet Riande, and lots of the local alcohol. Upon returning to his ship, Captain Kirk made quite the entrance, now graced with a sizable set of wings. None of our sources can confirm whether he is able to fly with his newest appendages.
Chief Medical Officer Leonard H. McCoy is said to be actively researching the source of the new growth and possible cures.
Although repeated attempts to contact Captain Kirk or any of his command staff have met with silence and unreturned messages, we will continue to pursue more information on this topic and offer updates as they arrive.
