[McCoy had heard from various people that there was a party in the Holosuits. But the doctor was quite content to stay in his quarters and conduct his own research since he was barred from Sickbay, but a certain blonde gymnast with a penchant for scribbling Trill spots over him dictated otherwise and he found himself dragged to the party

I see that you too have been dragged along to this event. [He came to stand by Bones, dressed sedately in his black uniform from the Academy.]

[hippocraticly]

[McCoy seems very surprised to see Spock.]

Who twisted your arm?

[logic_driven]

Who do you think would insist that I attend?

[hippocraticly]

[McCoy raises an eyebrow at him, before grinning slightly.]

Benedict? I assume you spoke to her then.

[logic_driven]

Benedict? I am not aware of any crew member by that name.

[But a beat later, Bones' expression and following remark led him to the most logical conclusion.]

If you are referring to Lieutenant Uhura, then yes, I did speak to her. And I did manage to...wing it.

Your advice was most useful in this case, doctor.

[hippocraticly]

I'm hurt you think my other pearls of wisdom I offer are just duds to you, Mr. Spock. I'm glad you managed to sort it out with her. Really.

[logic_driven]

As am I. And you have been a good friend, if I have not indicated so previously.

[hippocraticly]

A good friend. You're pulling my leg.

[logic_driven]

Vulcan's do not lie, doctor.

[hippocraticly]

Right, of course they don't.

[logic_driven]

What reason would I have to speak falsely? It is not logical, Bones.

[hippocraticly]

You lied to Fifty-Eight that one time.

[logic_driven]

That was to save your life. This is hardly comparable.

[hippocraticly]

But you admit you can lie if the situation calls for it. Therefore, your statement about Vulcans never lying is untrue.

[The doctor just might be messing with you now, Spock as he waves his finger at you matter-of-factly.]

[logic_driven]

Since you are attempting to be logical, I will amend my previous statement.

Vulcans seldom lie. And even then, it is almost always in order to preserve a greater good.

[hippocraticly]

[BONES WINS.]

What do you mean by 'attempting to be'?
