[ANTI-KHAN FILTER]

Hi, I want to introduce myself. My name is Uhura. Apparently, I've been here before, but I have no memory of that, so I feel like it would be best to start from the ground up. I apologize if I have forgotten something important about you.

I do have a question for everybody: what languages do you know other than the one I'm speaking in now?


[PRIVATE | STARFLEET COMM FREQUENCY]

Lt. Uhura of the USS Enterprise, reporting in and hailing any and all Starfleet personnel. Please respond.


[ooc: She's already read most of the network and studied almost everybody since that is what she does. The Eye of Nyota is always watching. Or the ear. Whatever.]

[ Since he's already briefed her on events and met with Uhura, Jim's granted a lot more freedom when this transmission is made. ]

Is Bones being rude to you, Lieutenant? Should I take disciplinary action?

[ /brofist So, so serious and on the open Starfleet line, too. Let the trolling fun begin. ]

What happens if I say yes? Does he hypospray me too?

[She's seen what happens to you when you argue with Bones, Jim. No bueno.]

I think this calls for a Vulcan nerve-pinch to avoid anyone getting a hypo to the neck, don't you?

[ Casually planning Bones' downfall for the dig about them being idiots. ]

I'm not sure Commander Spock would be okay with you volunteering his skills.

[Yes, this plan is falling into place regardless of what Uhura says publicly.]

[ Nononoooo. ]

I think the Commander would do whatever was necessary to protect the crew.

[ AND HIS LADYLOVE. ]

[Jim, stahp.]

We need protection from the Dr. McCoy now? Well, he did ask if I spoke to myself, in the way he expected me to say yes, so I am worried about him now...

[MCCOY, U SO CRAZY.]

Thank you for bringing this incident to my attention, Lieutenant, it sounds serious. I wonder if we could confine him to the nearest medbay, all for his own good of course.

I have no say on that matter, Captain. I defer to your expertise.

[It's hard trying to hold in the laughter.]

audio | starfleet comm frequency »

[hischair]

I will, naturally, keep you informed.

[ Snorting. ANYWAY, aside from tormenting Leonard. ]

Found many interesting new languages to dig into?

[phonetical]

So far there's a few Russian speakers, though they also speak other languages too. One of them said they speak Latin and another French.

Who knew people kept up with the dead ones?

[ if there's anyone who's mastered the act of eyerolling on an open channel, it's bones. ]

Got something to say to my face, Captain?

audio | starfleet comm frequency »

[hischair]

When I do I'll contact you directly, Doctor.

[ Jim never sounds this solemn on such daft matters, his lofty tone quite clearly laced with teasing. ]

[medicos]

How about I call on you directly myself? [ because he fucking can. ] You've missed your monthly check up. Why is that?

[ 8) 8) 8) 8) ]

[hischair]

I've been busy.

[ flattest look ever. since when has that excuse worked for you? ]

Should I start making house calls, then?

[ this is what you get for living with him. ]

[hischair]

Y'know, since I cured the eyeball thing on my own I've been thinking. I'm alright. I am totally, completely, one-hundred percent at the top of my game.

[ He'll hide in Spock's half, barricade himself in! ]

[medicos]

You weren't sick to begin with.

[ god, don't even try to put the 'curse' along the same vein as an 'illness'. a vein's going to pop and you're not going to like it. ]

[ :))) ]

My eyes weren't even in my head!

audio | starfleet comm frequency »

[medicos]

That's exactly the point!

[Wait, what?]

You cured Andorian shingles?

audio | starfleet comm frequency »

[hischair]

Yes.

[phonetical]

[A pause.]

Permission to speak freely, sir.

audio | starfleet comm frequency »

[medicos]

No, he didn't.

audio | starfleet comm frequency »

[hischair]

Yes, I did.

audio | starfleet comm frequency »

[phonetical]

I figured out that much when he said yes.
