Captain:
HQ just sent an upgrade packet for the computer’s processing system. IT IS A VILE THING. I am asking you to not subject the Enterprise to this perversion. IT IS UNWORTHY OF HER.
With permission, I can write patches for our current system. It should not take more than a week or two, at most.
I am begging you from the bottom of my heart.

P.S. I wonder what Lt. Uhura has to say. Maybe she knew what was going on? She and Spock seemed really committed. I once read that some Vulcan’s used to practice multiple marriages. In a textbook. I don’t think Kirk’s stupid enough to cheat with Spock if they’re still dating. Lt. Uhura would rip his guts out.

Sorry for the late reply; I finally caved and went to the sick bay. Feeling pretty miserable - could you grab me some ginger ale on your next break? Chapel won’t let me have anything.
Anyway - maybe that’s why Kirk did it? You know that rumor of Spock and Uhura in the rec room - I heard Kirk found the surveillance vids and has screencaps plastered all over his room. Really kinky stuff. He was probably jealous of Spock and Uhura’s relationship - you know his reputation; it wouldn’t be logical to have a long-term relationship with him. I mean, I love the guy, but he’s not exactly notorious for his fidelity, if you know what I mean.
Well - got to go. Chapel’s coming over, and I think she’s about to confiscate my PADD.

P.S. Ensign Jailbait just stormed out - I think he’s pissed at his fencing buddy again. Kirk’s kiddies should have smacked him with a clue-by-four instead of a rubber band, huh?

Sorry for the late reply; I finally caved and went to the sick bay. Feeling pretty miserable - could you grab me some ginger ale on your next break? Chapel won’t let me have anything.
Anyway - maybe that’s why Kirk did it? You know that rumor of Spock and Uhura in the rec room - I heard Kirk found the surveillance vids and has screencaps plastered all over his room. Really kinky stuff. He was probably jealous of Spock and Uhura’s relationship - you know his reputation; it wouldn’t be logical to have a long-term relationship with him. I mean, I love the guy, but he’s not exactly notorious for his fidelity, if you know what I mean.
Well - got to go. Chapel’s coming over, and I think she’s about to confiscate my PADD.
