“You’ve only studied this language for a couple weeks,” said Janice. “I wouldn’t sound that confident about this.” “I’m a normal amount of confident.” Nyota lay her hands out on the table. “I specifically learned all the phrases for ‘repeat that please’ and ‘more slowly’, so we should be good.”

Nyota tattoos her hands in order to speak to beings on a moon.

1x02 - Charlie X

[cata613]

Star Trek TOS, according to my 15 y/o sister:

[potionflavored]

before anyone comes at me I am NOT a Janice rand hater!!!! however I do think the bravest kind of character there is is a woman who sucks. and by the metric she is very brave.

part 16

[boldlyexplorational]

Episode 2 "Charlie X"

I wasn't expecting such a tragic ending: this kid really couldn't be saved? I would actually love to see him come back as a major villain, he has the power for it for sure.

I find it very fascinating how the themes that are predominant so far are Manhood (and womanhood), stepping up to Humanity. There's a lot of talk about what it takes to be a man, and the right kind of man. And then what it takes to be a human. It's interesting to see what are the requirements the narrative suggests contextualized in the era the series was made. Maybe they were a little hard on this teenager, adolescence can be tricky and their answer was: "yeah no bud you're doomed". Harsh.

Anyway... That scene with Spock and Uhura jamming GAVE ME LIFE. It was so good. I'm obsessed with the fact that Spock plays an instrument and she loves to sing (I love how that translated in SNW too). I've said it before, that's such a best friends sort of behavior to me and you can tell Spock is really enjoying it too. I do hope these two continue to have this kind of relationship.

I also need to mention poor Janice, what a nightmare. She's so professional and she's doing great, she's very good at standing her ground. I love how femme she is, and it feels more (affectionate) than (derogatory).

Rating 8/10 but mostly because of the insight it provides for the members of the crew.

Today's the last day of @uhuramonth ! Let's end it with gay ladies <3

[youandthemountains]

chapel/uhura is fun but honestly does feel a little like a token femslash ship to me, just bc of how much insane chemistry uhura and rand in comparison, even though their time together was so brief.

[vulcanistic-tendencies]

S1E2 Charlie X: "To The Victor"

As her grandfather was often fond of observing, Janice was a go-getter. She had very little trouble deciding what she wanted, how she wanted it, and what she needed to do in order to make it hers. It made her a formidable adversary in most strategy games and team sports, to say nothing of the rare occasions when someone or something tried to interfere with her career goals.

It didn’t do much for her love life, though.

See, Janice was pretty. She didn’t mind that – in fact she worked very hard each morning to apply her makeup and to press and arrange her hair just so to match the latest fashion. She enjoyed looking good, and any extra effort it took was simply worth it.

But looking good meant being chased, being sought, being fawned and fought over. It meant leers and lewd gestures and lewder comments made just within earshot. It made her into a prize to be won.

Well, Janice was no one’s fucking prize, and if anyone was going to be winning anything, it was her.

Enter Lieutenant Nyota Uhura.

When Janice had been assigned to the Enterprise as Captain Kirk’s person yeoman, she was less than thrilled. She’d had her fair share of unwanted suitors of every class and gender, but in her experience, high-ranking men tended to be the worst.

It came as a pleasant surprise, therefore, when Kirk turned out to be friendly, charismatic, and unfailingly professional both on and off the bridge. His gaze and touch were never anything but completely appropriate and respectful. Beyond that, he had a presence about him that could instantly set everyone at ease. Honestly, if he hadn’t been extremely off-limits due to their respective ranks and positions aboard the ship, Janice may have been tempted to test some decidedly less-than-platonic waters with him.

Ah, well. Maybe in another life.

Kirk’s command crew was fairly easy to work with as well. Granted, First Officer Spock could often be blunt to the point of rudeness, and Chief Medical Officer McCoy was something of a serial flirt, but on the whole they were harmless. Janice even found herself becoming fast friends with Lieutenant Sulu, who shared her sardonic sense of humor and took a genuine interest in her painting hobby after catching her hard at work in an empty rec room during her second week. (She did her best to reciprocate by showing interest in his botany projects, though in truth some of the more mobile specimens were…unnerving to her.)

Then, there was Nyota.

If Janice was pretty, Nyota was gorgeous. There was a softness to her features, an almost ethereal kind of beauty that was only enhanced by the gentle grace with which she moved. Her smiles were wide and bright, her voice smooth and musical whenever she spoke. And when she sang…

Well. Janice normally wasn’t one to wax poetic, and maybe that was for the best because Nyota Uhura was certainly not in need of any poetry. She supplied all of it quite skillfully herself.

Perhaps that was what Janice found so intimidating. Nyota was a woman self-possessed; by no means just a beauty, she was also sharp as a tack, fleet of foot and wit, and surprisingly – dangerously – mischievous when the mood struck her.

She was the first person Janice had ever encountered who truly gave her pause. Not because she wasn’t sure what she wanted when it came to Nyota, but because she wasn’t sure what she could have.

Enter Charlie Evans.

What struck Janice the most about Charlie was his sincerity. He was awkward, sure, and clearly a little out of his depth when it came to understanding and adjusting to the culture of the Enterprise, but who could blame him? His life up to that point had been a blank slate – totally unburdened by social rules and customs – and as such his actions and words bore an honesty that was as refreshing as it was unnerving.

He was sweet. Genuine. A good kid. All he really needed was some guidance.

Just not from Janice.

The very moment they met, she could tell she was going to have trouble with him. His eyes – wide and bright and ever so confused – landed on her like the glowing light of a meteorite on a collision course. She knew those eyes. She knew very well what they meant.

She also knew that she was unequivocally the worst possible person for him to hitch his poor naïve adolescent wagon to. Sure, Janice was nice – she was polite and professional and friendly, but she wasn’t…gentle. She wasn’t sweet or tender or patient. Not like Kirk could be.

Not like Nyota was.

She tried, of course. She tried to be soft for Charlie. She tried to ignore the weight of his eyes on her. It didn’t work. The meteorite still came. It still careened right into them with the sharp sound of a palm hitting flesh.

And then, Janice simply wasn’t.

.

.

.

Reenter Yeoman Janice Rand.

She didn’t talk about Charlie after everything was over with. She wrote her report, because that was her job, and she submitted to a brief psych eval, because that was Dr. McCoy’s job, and that was that.

From what she could tell, Kirk and the others who had been present for Charlie’s departure were of a similar mind. Better not to dwell.

And yet…

And yet Janice could not keep the image of Charlie’s wide, earnest eyes out of her head. The simple, terrible truth he spoke so plainly to her.

(“You can understand, can’t you? You know about being with somebody? Wanting to be?”)

Yes, Janice did. She did, and yet for the first time in her life, fear and doubt had kept her frozen in place.

Well, no more of that.

She found Nyota alone on the observation deck, watching the stars and humming softly to herself. Despite her new resolve, Janice hesitated in the doorway.

Charlie had been alone for too long. He didn’t know how to work around the needs of others, how to cope with rejection when it came. Janice – well, she didn’t like rejection, but far better that than this hopeless pining she was doing now. Life was just too damn short to waste time like that.

And so, Janice went to go get her.

I did star trek tierlists (might post them) and there was a ship one (TOS,TNG,DS9,VOY) and they yk had the really popular or well known ships and some of the most random ships known to man- like rand x uhura or kirk exists, uh?!?!

[leohtttbriar]

that may be an encouraging thought

Written for trektober: Day 25 redshirts

Pilar was bleeding freshly red enough that it was blending into her uniform. It wasn’t a great sign, she knew, but it was an interesting image. 

“I might die,” she observed casually. 

Everyone gathered around her, her two fellow security officers and Lieutenant Uhura, frowned at her. 

“You’re so dramatic,” said Rand, who was tearing off pieces of her own uniform to keep up the steady supply of bandages for T'hir to press relentlessly into Pilar’s side. 

“I’m just saying,” groaned Pilar as the life-saving pressure at her flesh wound did the expected thing and remained quite painful.

“You are obviously in shock,” said T'hir.

“Tell my mother I love her,” said Pilar.

“Dramatic,” said Rand again. She ran a long strip from her dress under Pilar's back and then back around her side, gathering a bundle of everyone else's uniforms (the skirts were verging on being too cute for work on all of them) and successfully tying off the bundle of balled up fabric. T'hir had explained helpfully that their uniforms were made of a highly absorbent fabric for occasions such as this. Pilar tried to look at this development as a good thing instead of excruciatingly middling.

A pair of comforting hands pushed her sweaty hair out of her face. She looked up and back to Uhura smiling like everything was going to be okay—which was altogether nice. Pilar had been draped across Uhura’s lap now for a few minutes and it was a relief to know she wasn’t being an enormous bother.

Rand sat back against the log next to Uhura, slumping very subtly into her side (which by Rand's standards was equivalent to sticking dragging her tongue up Uhura's neck). T'hir sat on Uhura’s other side and held Pilar’s hand. Sweaty. T'hir bravely kept her grip.

Now, all they could do was wait for the incoming rescue.

“Anyone know any jokes?” asked Pilar. 

“I’m unfamiliar,” said Rand. Typical. 

More awkward silence which was a failure of a distraction for the throbbing on Pilar's abdomen.

“Why is it always us?” muttered T'hir. “I am opposed to being fodder.”

No one responded immediately.

Then Rand said, from her normal professional distance, “I’m working on a proposal of improving field mission parameters and rules of engagement. I’ll bring you in.”

T'hir considered this. Then she said, “Okay.”

“You’re welcome to provide an etching of my grave if that’ll help you get it through the higher-ups,” said Pilar. “Here lies a true hero.”

“Sure,” said Rand. “Thanks.”

T'hir squeezed Pilar’s hand.

It was quiet. 

“I don’t know any jokes that will translate well,” said Uhura. “But you can be assured that they’re all very funny.”

“Nice,” said Pilar. 

“Tell us story, Nyota,” said Rand. 

Pilar glanced up and saw Rand had slumped further into Uhura’s shoulder, which was very loud PDA in her opinion. 

“A story?”

“Yeah, a story.”

“I would also like a story,” said T'hir. “Nothing trite, though. I was at a human wedding recently and everything was so trite.”

“Fuck yeah, I hate weddings,” said Pilar, lying. 

“You do not,” said T'hir.

“Know any stories that aren’t trite, Nyota?” asked Rand, teasing. God, she was shameless. 

“Well, I recently reread Gilgamesh,” said Uhura. 

“That sounds fun,” said Pilar. “Do that.”

“It’s not happy”—

“I read that in school,” said Rand. "I don't remember any of it."

“As did I,” said T'hir.

“Ugh, shut up,” said Pilar. “I’m dying. I want to hear the story. Please. Sir.” She glanced back nervously at Rand who rolled her eyes. 

“Okay,” said Uhura, shifting a little. “There once was a city…”

---------------------------------

“…You were right, that wasn’t happy at all,” said Pilar. 

Rand was cuddling, stony-faced, against Uhura’s side. T'hir was asleep, bored. 

“Well,” said Uhura, but she didn’t follow it up with anything. 

“What’s the point of it?” asked Pilar. “To remind us we’re all going to die and there’s nothing we can do about it? I already knew that. I’m wearing a red shirt.”

Uhura sighed. 

Then she said, “I’m not an expert in Sumerian poetry”—

“You aren’t?” said Pilar, genuinely confused. 

“So I’m not going to lecture you about the appropriate literary lesson here.”

“Oh no....”

Rand flicked Pilar's shoulder.

“But I’m fairly sure the point of telling the story is so you can experience Gilgamesh say: ‘If my grief is violent enough, perhaps he will come back to life again.’”

“…why is that the point?”

Uhura shrugged. “It’s good line.”

Pilar thought about this. Luckily, before she could enter into any true reflection, Rand’s comm beeped and within a minute they were all being beamed back onto the Enterprise. 

Doctor McCoy looked disappointed in them. 

“I'll take the money, you keep the rope,” said Pilar, giving him finger guns. 

“Good line,” said Uhura, who still had Pilar in her lap. 

Rand helped them both to standing, T'hir still recovering from being abruptly woken from her nap. 

Once McCoy and Chapel had scooped Pilar into their loving arms, Pilar turned to look at Rand and Uhura. They were an unprofessional amount of distracted.

Uhura was smiling up at Rand, quoting softly, “What shall I do, where shall I go now?”

And Rand kissed her forehead (scandal). 

“Oh,” said Pilar. “Yeah, I get it.” Then, “Hey, Commander Rand—that should be the title of your proposal. About red-shirts and the ROE.”

“Death has caught me,” quoted Uhura, the nerd.

“Sure,” said Rand. “It’s a good line.”
