[So adorable and innocent. Uhura envies you that a little.]

What's your superior's name?

[candothat]

[Time will at least take care of the innocent. Have no fear.]

Chief Engineer Marie Delacroix. She is very French; I cannot always decipher her accent.

[universaltranslator]

[She smiles]

All right. Thanks, Chekov.

[candothat]

Of course.

[carefully] I'm sorry about Howl.

[universaltranslator]

Don't even get me started on him.

[candothat]

I would rather not get you started.

...How unhappy are you here, Uhura?

[universaltranslator]

[She sighs, just a little. How unhappy is she? Extremely. She misses her home, her life, her boyfriend, her work, her sense of purpose. She's not a scientist -- she doesn't have Chekov's joy of experimentation to keep herself occupied.

But he's young and sweet, and Uhura's open but she doesn't dump her every emotion on just anyone. She makes herself smile.]

It's tough, adjusting to a new place.

[candothat]

[He's reasonably sure that having trouble adjusting is a very small part of what's bothering Uhura, but maybe she'll tell him when she feels like it.]

It is, yes. [smiiiiile] At least you have me.

[universaltranslator]

[Because they're off-duty, and she's tired, Uhura reaches out and briefly squeezes Chekov's arm.]

I do. Thank you, Chekov.
