Uhura was a lot of things, but an idiot wasn’t one of them. Despite the fact their current “passenger” was a Romulan and a would-be enemy, the captain had told the crew to treat her as a guest; and had she not been an enemy, Uhura thought they would’ve gotten along famously. The commander, who’d refused to divulge her name, was obviously very brilliant and very beautiful. She was also very blinded by their Vulcan-turned-
Don Juan DeMarco.
It’d been Kirk’s orders to keep her ears out for whatever the commander might say while on the Enterprise. He hadn’t let Uhura equip them with com devices when they’d stolen aboard the Romulan vessel because that would’ve undermined the “Kirk’s Gone Crazy” defense. Spock had tried to reassure her and had reminded her to play her part of ignorance; for if she didn’t sell it, no one on the bridge would believe Kirk had genuinely jumped off the deep end.
“Surprised you aren’t telling McCoy,” she’d muttered during their private debriefing. “He always knows everything.”
“If anyone needed to be kept in the dark, it’s Bones,” Kirk had said on a chuckle. “He’d throw us all under psych evals if he’d gotten wind!”
“Besides, as chief communications officer, you are privy to private information a starship’s chief medical officer may not need to know. This is one of those instances,” Spock had said gravely.
But Uhura had wished she’d known Spock would have to
heavily flirt with another woman!

Is this how he feels when I’m with Len? )
