C. APRIL – 2272?

Leonard McCoy: Frontier Doctor #1 – Weeds – McCoy has joined the Frontier Medics Program along with Jon Mikael Duncan and given a ship McCoy has christened ‘Joanna’ CRN–1841. Things were quiet the first few weeks until they discovered an Andorian stowaway, Theela of the House Trelahn. They are diverted to the colony Ophiucus III an Earth colony established 59 solar years ago. Population 15,791. After dealing with the emergency on Ophiucus III, McCoy allows Theela to stay onboard for one month on probation. I should point out that John Byrne draws three different types of Andorians, those seen in TOS, those seen in the movies and those seen in Star Trek: Enterprise.

C. MAY – 2272?

Leonard McCoy: Frontier Doctor #2 pgs.1–21 – Error – It’s been approximately one month or longer since ‘Weeds’. McCoy is telling Theela about the Mirror Universe. Duncan mentions that McCoy wrote his memoirs but he doesn’t believe half of what was written in it. The Joanna visits the planet Gamma Tarsus VII an ocean planet whose total land mass adds up to less than the island of Manhattan. They are going to be inducted into the Federation next year. On the planet they meet Montgomery Scott. Montgomery Scott has been working continuously on the Enterprise’s refit for the last 18 months since the Enterprise returned from its five-year-mission. Admiral Kirk ordered him to take some R&R. Instead he went to Gamma Tarsus VII to help an old academy friend with an engineering problem. While there they discover that the population of Gamma Tarsus VII is dying. It is eventually discovered that they have been using the local transporters to reset their biology each time they beam keeping themselves immortal/young and disease free. However their bodies are accumulating clumps of unliving atoms in their cells. McCoy had been working on the problem for over a week and each time he came close to a solution his mind was wiped and he started over again. The ruling council prefers not to tell its population that they’re facing extinction.

C. JUNE – 2272?

Leonard McCoy: Frontier Doctor #2 pg. 22 – Error – Epilogue – The epilogue has Admiral Kirk on a holodeck version of the ‘TMP’ bridge adjusting the sight lines when Scotty walks in with a letter from McCoy. Kirk says it has been a few weeks since he last received a letter. McCoy sent Kirk a ‘fine old vintage’ on his last birthday. (Note: So March 22, 2272? It fits, it’s right after the Epilogue of ‘Federation’.)
