I like how Terry Matalas put that Captain Kirk Easter egg in Star Trek Picard: Season 3 with the medical monitor that is "monitoring" Kirk's body on Daystrom Station, and now Otoy has seemingly expanded on that Easter egg by actually bringing Captain Kirk BACK to the land of the living. I'm just wondering how Gary Mitchell was involved in Kirk's resurrection? My interpretation is this: At the end of Star Trek: Generations, Kirk appeared to have died but really didn't (and Picard buried Kirk, thinking he really was dead). Picard removed Kirk's Starfleet badge and placed it on the rock pile. Some time later, Spock visited Kirk's grave site and took Kirk's Starfleet badge (and at some point that alien guy got Kirk's badge). A little later on, Starfleet arrived and removed both Kirk's body and the Enterprise D saucer section from Veridian III. Kirk's body was taken to and stored at Daystrom Station (according to what we see in that Easter egg in Star Trek: Picard Season 3. Kirk's body, now in stasis, is now being monitored by some sort of medical stations showing different angles of his skeletal structure (we see one of these medical stations in Picard Season 3 and a few more of thee medical stations in footage from other OTOY shorts). A fan also said that they were able to see some of the small text written on one of the medical stations monitoring Kirk's body on Daystrom Station and the text says something like "Captain James T. Kirk was CRITICALLY wounded on Veridian III helping Captain Jean-Luc Picard defeat Soran" (CRITICALLY wounded...not MORTALLY or FATALLY wounded). Also, the words "Project Phoenix" were also seen in the small text on that medical monitoring station in relation to Kirk being in stasis. At some point, Starfleet finds a way to resurrect Kirk using Project Phoenix (is Gary Mitchell involved in this somehow?) A newly resurrected Kirk is now seen walking toward a crowd of people that includes Saavik and the son she made with Spock. An alien dude gives Kirk BACK the badge that Picard had removed from Kirk's uniform when Picard was burying Kirk on Veridian III. Kirk goes to some mysterious place and encounters two versions of his younger self, after which he puts his Starfleet badge BACK ON and then is immediately sent to the Kelvin universe, where he visits a dying Spock before Spock passes away. None of this is the Nexus or the afterlife because if Kirk was in the afterlife, he would not be visiting a dying Spock because a dying Spock would not be in the afterlife, he would still be in the land of the living. Also, if this was the afterlife, that means Kirk was seeing Saavik and her son in the afterlife as well, which means by the time the short movie is over, there would be three dead Vulcans (Spock, Saavik and their son, which would royally suck). This is not Kirk's ghost from the afterlife visiting a dying Spock, because I doubt a spiritual form (a Kirk ghost) could physically interact with living flesh and bone (Kirk and Spock clasped hands in friendship in this OTOY short, just like they did in Star Trek: The Motion Picture). To me, this is a resurrected Kirk visiting Spock to say goodbye to him before Spock passes away...again.
Missed the live steam last night but catch-up tonight. Loved it
Chef's kiss for the video, Unification.
It is quite odd that it is 'unlisted.' Wonder why?

I have to put an asterisk next to this _Unification_ because they couldn’t help themselves injecting _Nu Trek_ into this otherwise great production.
