(Edited: October 25th, 2024)

"Miss Birch. Please awaken." Something shakes my side, opening my eyes in alarm I look around quickly for the disturbance. Spock stands next to me looking concerned in his own Vulcan way.

"Oh sorry.. Must have dozed off reading a book.. Are we there yet?" Rubbing the sleep from my eyes as I look up to him. Wishing I could have a cup of coffee.. or even a red bull.

"We have arrived minutes ago." Spock says with a nod of affirmative.

Memories from the episode come back from the back of my mind. The damn brainwashing plant episode that does the humans up and makes them care for the plants. I better warn him! "Don't let the landing party go down Spock." Sitting up straight I look at him, fear in my eyes. Not wanting them to end up like happiness zombies like they did in the episode.

"May I ask as to why?" Raising his pointed brow to me.

"There's a weird flower down there that shoots spores. The spores make you not want to leave the planet. They strip you of your logic Spock, the only way you guys were able to break it was because when Jim got infected, he got angry about leaving his medals behind or something.." I wave my hand around, unable to think of the complete ending.

Spock stares at me for a moment before he taps his communicator badge. "Spock to Kirk."

"Kirk Here. What is it Spock?" Spock looks at me then to his communicator once more.

"Sir our guest has alerted me to a potential threat on the planets surface, Captain. I request we not send down the landing party's for their safety.." Spock speaks with an even voice.

"Are you positive this threat is credible, Mr. Spock?" Kirk asks with hesitancy in his voice.

"It's real alright sir, call down to the colonists, they will refuse to leave the planet. Claiming that its a paradise, then they will try to invite everyone to come down to join them." Crossing my arms I look up to Spock. Hoping to god that everything becomes okay.. I would hate to be infected by those fucking plants..

"I will hail the colonists and confirm miss Birch's knowledge. Kirk out." Spock shuts his communicator looking at me once more. Looking down at my clothing then back to my eyes. 

"I shall send a quartermaster to take your measurements for new clothing.." he says with a nod of his head, the Enterprise is not a civilian vessel after all. Its made for exploration.

Gasping softly I cover my mouth in amazement, my eyes sparkle at the idea of getting an actual uniform. "C-Can I get a blue shirt?" I ask him hesitantly, playing with my fingers.

"Since you are not a member of the Scientific field.. No. But you may have a similar looking shirt." He says with a nod and I giggle with glee, smiling widely I reach to hug him then stop mid reach when I remember something.

"Shit I forgot, you are a touch telepath. I almost touched you without your consent, I'm sorry." Setting my arms down by my sides he arches his brow looking to me with an almost.. appreciative look in his eye.

"Thank you for considering my boundaries.. Do you know much of Vulcan physiology?" Tilting his head to the side at my question, curious to know how much the fans of the show did in my world.

"I know that your fingers are VERY sensitive.. Umm.." I tap my lip in thought, my brain rushing through information. "I know about Ponn Farr-" I say and Spock holds his hand up, stopping me from mentioning more.

Spock's eyes widen in alarm before the full emotionless Vulcan façade returns. "May I ask how you know of it?"

"Um.." Tapping my chin I try to remember the name of the episode.. what was it again...? Ah! "I think it was in the Episode called Amok time. You go through Ponn Farr. Jim gets so worried and confused on why he has to go to Vulcan so he asks you about it, promising and keeping it secret.. But not to the audience of millions that watched it.." i say with a shrug of my shoulders.
