[ It's a little too late to adhere to that whole non-interference clause of the Prime Directive, being the subject of an alien-napping and all, so here is Spock in all his pointy-eared glory. Looking as straight-faced as possible. Unlike Kirk, he didn't part from their meeting and then drink himself under a table, he stayed up all night watching network conversations and Sciencing. It would be illogical to... wallow, and he refuses to acknowledge that he even has the urge. ] ... Fascinating.
[ For such ancient technology, this thing appears remarkably serviceable. ] Greetings. I am Commander Spock, of the United Federation of Planets. If I understand correctly, then you are my fellow... detainees. [ There, that's politic enough. ] I would like to request information on what is being done with the crashed satellite debris. In return, I may be of some assistance in constructing something useful from it, as I am familiar with this level of technology.
In addition, any information on the turtle itself would be appreciated; the scans I have taken of the creature only tell me so much, and the indigenous people seem... disinclined to reply to my queries.
[ Aaaand he'll just give a sharp nod and the Vulcan Salute on his way out. ]

That sounds like a noble- [ occupation? ] ...pasttime.
[ Thoughtfully: ] How did you meet the Captain?
video
It's more than just that, though. A past time, I mean. It's everything. The stars, the aliens, all of it.
[She gives a slight dreamy sigh here, missing those stars so very very much. They're her home now, and she desperately wants to go back.]
I met Jim all on accident, though. Just ran into him on my first day here. We got right to exploring together, and haven't looked back since.
video
In that situation, you are the alien, are you not?
[ Yeah that sounds like Jim. He's horrible and irritating and alright maybe not all bad, but he has just about the most magnetic personality Spock has ever encountered. Once you bump into him you're stuck in his gravitational pull for a good, long while. ]
Now you stay with him? [ Why didn't he awkwardly run into you during their hideous feelings explosion yesterday? ]

[She forgets that sometimes, but she doesn't mean anything by it. She looks a bit sheepish at the fact she had to be reminded yet again, and reaches up to rub at the back of her head.]
And uh - that's what it looks like? I mean, it's not what it sounds like. He's just a friend, we've never...you know.
[Or maybe Spock doesn't, she's not sure. But regardless, yep, she looks mildly horrified at the thought that Spock might be questioning her intention behind staying with Jim.]

It's kinda a recent development and everything. Why does it matter, though? Disappointed you didn't get to see me face to face?
[Best solution to not knowing what to say: teasing the person you're talking to.]
video
video
[She wants to know embarrassing stories, Spock. Ones she can use to tease him relentlessly.]
Tonight works, yeah? I'll make food and everything.
video
... When I return from collecting samples of the satellite debris, I may have time. Food is unnecessary, as a Vulcan I require less of it to survive and therefore it is illogical that I consume more than is strictly necessary while it is being rationed.
video
Food's not supposed to be logical, though. It's supposed to taste good and be fun, and you could at least taste it, Vulcan or not.
[Don't make her pull out her stern voice. She'll do it.]

Yeah, definitely a turtle island. I was thinking of calling it Turtland or something. Makes it sound a hell of a lot more fun than this place really is. What with the rations and everything.
