[Video : Open to network]

[Gaila is sunbathing topless, so even as she turns on the camera there's a lot of green flesh on show, but the camera is very carefully pointed at just above bust level as she lays on a beachtowel in what looks like the CGM's garden. She has sunglasses on and a pair of headphones hanging around her neck.]

Okay, so...

This may sound like an incredibly

[It's a waste of a perfectly good nude post, Gaila. Jim's not focused on you that way right now.]

You know, anyone who has food probably needs it, right now.

[imhere4theplot]

[A crying shame indeed.]

I'm aware of that. That's the reason why I'm trying to get some. Uhura and her person will need it and since Uhura is busy looking after Tony or Thomas or that guy, then I'll look after her.

[goldn_boy]

[His expression is grim. Taking care of his crew is his job.]

Uhura's looked after.

[imhere4theplot]

Yes, she is, I'm not disputing that.

But I love Uhura very much, she's the most important person to me in my life. I want to make sure that she is incredibly well provided for an never wants for anything.

[Christine's trying not to wince here.]

Lieutenant Gaila, isn't it? You know, most people at least charge for the show you're about to put on here.

[In other words, put some clothes on.]

[video]

[imhere4theplot]

You can just call me Gaila, I don't mind!

[Ah, sarcasm. Gaila so doesn't get your meaning.]

Um. I'm not at work at the moment, so I wasn't expecting to get paid for putting on a show.

[rightawaydoctor]

I meant if the camera gets any lower you'll be showing everyone your breasts, and why let the whole Network see it for free if you usually charge for it?

[She thinks if you're going to do that kind of work for pay, you should at least be consistent. Logic!]

[video]

[imhere4theplot]

That's a good point.

But, I have a unique selling point, being an Orion and all. My breasts aren't what most people come to see me for, it's normally my dancing that they come to see.

But I think I get your point. [Gaila logic: Lift the camera to face level.]

[talentd_tongue]

Gaila, I...

[Yes, she saw the conversation that you had with Jim up there. And yes, she loves you, too.]

Do you want to come watch a movie tonight, maybe? After Tony goes to sleep?

[imhere4theplot]

[And she brightens up existentially at that.]

Of course I do! I'm not at work tonight anyway.

[Uhura smiles. One person she can make truly happy, even just for an hour and a half of mindless drivel. No popcorn, but it's something.]

My room at nine?

[video - locked]

[imhere4theplot]

I'll be there for definite.

[Uhura probably has no idea just how happy she's made her best friend right now.]

...So, seeing as you're green and all, I can't help but wonder. Can you even get a suntan?

Sorry in advance if that question counts in any way as racist. The only people who are green where I come from are Muppets.

[video]

[imhere4theplot]

Um.

I don't know. But I don't tend to burn, but if I don't take enough water I faint. I guess I could go brown if I weren't careful but I've always used sun lotion.

It's okay, I'm used to questions about the greenness.

[shes_a_kicker]

Oh well, you're lucky then. I pretty much always turn all red and flakey at least once every summer. Frail skin; my mom used to say it ran in the family. I assume she meant hers. I never asked.

Yeah, I uh. Guess you must be. Are there a lot of...green people, where you come from?

[video]

[imhere4theplot]

Yup. Orions are a green race of people. It's because we get our energy from the sun, much like flora.
