Video ★ Trouble with Tribbles, pt. 2

[ McCoy does his best to look dignified despite the terrible and shameful embarrassment he feels inside having to publicly announce this ridiculous emergency. It doesn't help matters that his desk is covered in soft, cute little creatures that are softly trilling all around. ]

This is Leonard McCoy, Chief Medical Officer of the USS Enterprise. [ Yes, he's emphasizing that just so people take his warnings seriously as a highly-esteemed medical professional! And his affiliation with Jim can't hurt. Or can it? Oh God how many people actually like James T. Kirk? Shit Shiiit! ]

As some of you may have noticed, there's been a... contaminate leak in the Fire Sector. A foreign body escaped its... confines [ Fridge ] and has started multiplyin' at an excessive rate. [ And by excessive, he means the world is literally exploding with furballs. ] For those of you not in the Sector, they look like this [ He dutifully points to the puffballs on his desk. ]

Don't be alarmed! They're extremely docile, but in an unfamiliar and stressful environment, they begin to breed rapidly. Our Science Officer has calculated that they breed about every twelve hours [ 11.784 hours, but like hell McCoy is giving Spock the satisfaction of accurate fractions! ], producing anywhere from 8 to 12 at a time. Anyone with any kinda math skill can see that's a huge damn problem!

The best way to keep those furbags from eatin' you outta house and home and food is puttin' 'em on ice. It won't kill 'em, but it'll stop reproduction and slow down their life cycle.

If you have any questions, contact me or any StarFleet officer nearest you [ McCoy, Spock, or Jim will be more than happy to be assaulted by your questions. ]

McCoy out.

So just say planet. Bones, everybody here is from different worlds. Us being from a place that has space travel is way less weird from the world where people shoot lasers out of their eyes. I promise.

Relax, Bones. Just tell them I ordered you to do it, and you'll escape with a slap on the wrist. They can't can me.

[Said with the absolute surety of someone with a massive motherfucking ego, okay?]

Besides, if you wanted to be clandestine? 'Starfleet' kind of precludes that.

I said relax. I'll handle it. Just do your-- thing. Your medic thing. With the other thing.

[ oh look, someone is being nosy (SHOCKER) and wants to know what is going on with you two. ]

What exactly do you both need to discuss here?

[ a bit rude of her to bud in, sure. But at least she is trying to smile somewhat politely when she does. ]

Is there something you aren't telling us about these things?

What? No way.

[HE ACTUALLY KIND OF SOUNDS OFFENDED THEY ARE BEING COMPLETELY 100 PERCENT FORTHCOMING ABOUT THE TRIBBLE THING.]

[ why are you offended mister, it's a TOTALLY valid question ]

Then why do you have to talk to him about it?

I'm not talking to him about the tribbles, [omg rude eavesdropper] I'm talking to him about their planet of origin.

Okay... Is their planet of origin [ this is so odd for her ] of concern here?

No, it's.

[EXHALE.]

We're Starfleet. We have regulations to follow, one of those - probably the most important one - is that we don't tell underdeveloped cultures or planets that we're from other worlds. So the good doctor here was just trying to follow protocol.

[Which Jim's been handily ignoring, anyway.]

[ her brow arches in a clear interest ]

We'll there's no Starfleet here, so does following protocol really matter in this situation?

[ a shrug ]

I mean, we're on the back of a damn Turtle, so do regulations don't really mean much here?

Is he the one that brought them in?

Oh... [ she blinks in surprise by that. even if she has been here for a few months, wrapping her head around the idea people claimed to be from places she didn't understand, was still odd in someway to her. ]

Have you dealt with anything like this before?

[ and by this, she means the tribbles. she sort of figures no one has ever been kidnapped and stuck on the back of a shell before (she could be wrong though) ]

Okay... [ she bites her lip in thought, sighing ]

What do you suggest we do with the ones that we come across then?

[ aside from putting them on ice and all. WHERE DO YOU WANT THEM, DOCTOR? ]

[ i'm not sorry doctor mccoy, this is just what she does. ]

Okay... So how did they get here?
