“Samahani, Mama, but I have a query. It is very important.”

Uhura tapped the spoon against the lip of the pot and ( Read more... )

Sulu couldn’t help the bounce in his step as he walked through the corridors toward the arboretum, anxious to tell Uhura about the captain’s evaluation of his bridge command.

The relief Dr. McCoy had felt when the landing party had beamed aboard from Triskelion had quickly turned to rage upon hearing Uhura’s request for Nurse Chapel to conduct her checkup in her quarters. At first, McCoy couldn’t understand why Uhura would want that, but then he saw Chekov’s head hang and Kirk’s jaw clench (he didn’t even deign to look ( Read more... )
