[ 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. ]

[Bruce is not exactly smooth at explaining himself, but he starts to fall into the rhythm of explaining SCIENCE, which he's far better at.]
It's more than a suspicion. Months ago, some of us-- before I was here-- discovered a cloning facility. It's since been destroyed, probably a cover up, but we can assume that there's another one somewhere as a replacement. I'm trying to confirm whether the obvious assumption is correct with a little more accuracy than "it seems like it".
[Faint distaste for relying on guesswork? Definitely.]
action!!
But he decides not to question it until he at least takes steps towards knowing whether it's true or not, and with that in mind he sort of waves the beep-booping tricorder in Bruce's general direction for a total of three seconds before lowering it again.
Yep. DNA testing is that easy in the future. The future is ridiculous.
He squints at the results, stepping forward to let Bruce see them too. Strange. Maybe the tricorder is malfunctioning... ]
You appear to be irradiated. [ I'm sorry Bruce, Vulcans don't know how to tact. ]
action!!
Bruce suddenly goes from mild and unassuming to wary and guarded in an eye blink.]
I know, [he says shortly, looking down at the readings because his curiosity is insatiable, and because he has to know. His eyes jump quickly over the data, taking it in even as he says,] Is there a way to delete this afterward? I can't-- this-- My genetic information needs to be tightly controlled.
action!!
Has a stopgap for radiation poisoning been discovered in your reality? [ He needs to know. ]
action!!
No. I'm a fluke. [His tone's even less giving, but he does answer.] Don't take me as an indication for anything. You need to delete that.
[Someone's relentless.]
