   Summary

   Tarsus IV happened in most verse's. Only in this one The Federation didn't arrive in days to save everyone. Kodos, wasn't a misguided man trying to save who he could. And Kirk wasn't the kid who lived a few days in hell and made it out alive. Tarsus shaped him, it scarred him and ultimately it killed him. Jimmy died and the person who rose from the ash became the man who would lead the Enterprise and risk everything for his crew...his family.

   Because he already had before.
