[Uhura is hiding in a convenience store. She doesn't have much time to post, so she doesn't bother with filters.]
Ensign Chekov, report.
[She's shaking just a little. Seeing Spock here, like this... She wasn't ready. Isn't ready. But her top priority right now (other than staying alive) is ascertaining the status of her subordinate.]

Reporting, sir!

[There's a sound--a voice--from offscreen, but the words are difficult to decipher over the device.]
Have you... eh, found anyone familiar?

I've encountered a creature that looks like Commander Spock. [She refuses to believe that it's actually Spock. He can't be dead. He can't be dead. He's one of the last of his people. He can't be dead.]
You?
video;
[Not improbable. Impossible. Just like his situation, which can also not be happening.]
The Commander's mother has found me.
video;
She's dead.

[He's still playing professional over here. It helps.]
I have a theory regarding these... phenomena, but now is not a good time to explain.

[No, now isn't the time to stop being professional. Uhura knows that, too.]
Approach carefully.

Amanda Grayson--or the thing that looks like her--can be heard moaning.]
Uhura! Do you have a weapon on you?
action;
It's the best I could do.
action;
Point and fire. [Chekov tosses the weapon to her.] Where is the Com--the thing that resembles the Commander?
action;
Thanks.
[She swallows thickly when he mentions Spock.]
I think we lost it on the way here.
action;
We should lose this other one, as well, unless you have a plan of action?
action;
[The only alternative she can think of is unthinkable.]
Any suggestions, Ensign?
action;
We three options, I think: we avoid them and hope that they are only after us, we incapacitate them, or... [Or. Option three is not a good one.] Or they can be eliminated.
action;
[She's completely out of her element. She's a linguistics expert; she never even leaves the bridge. There's a brief moment where she wonders why the hell this is happening to her.
But of course, it's not just her.]
action;
[Could they do that without being bitten? Is there time to find something to restrain them with?
The answer to the latter is no. The ghoul that looks like Amanda Grayson turns the corner, uttering a guttural, "You killed me." She's quicker on her feet than some of the other monsters, her state of decay not all that advanced.]
...Or we should run.
action;
Run.
[She takes off.]
