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.

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?
video;
[HE ACTUALLY KIND OF SOUNDS OFFENDED THEY ARE BEING COMPLETELY 100 PERCENT FORTHCOMING ABOUT THE TRIBBLE THING.]
video;
Then why do you have to talk to him about it?

[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.]
video;
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?
video;
[... Well it was more implied, actually, but same thing.]
video; wow, lets pretend i didnt have all those typos last tag /)(\
What's the worst-case scenario with these Tribbles?
[ because she is going to word things so many different ways - well, until she gets the answers she is happy with (sorry) ]
video; done and done
[He says that is a sort of airy, devil-may-care, 'of course that's not really an issue' manner of speaking.]
video;
[ yes, it's said totally in sync. ]
He was just informin' me of the name of the planet those buggers come from.
[ You are getting such a stink eye, Jim!] ]
video;
Is he the one that brought them in?
video;
No... I did. It was among my things when I was shanghaied for this little adventure. But he's the one who let it get out of storage! [ he's not a martyr, though. ]
video;
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) ]
video;
[ And by tricky, he means the end times are here. ]
video;
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? ]
