"Good!" Uhura said, jumping on the first positive opportunity they had. It wouldn't have been her first choice, having this McCoy and Spock work together on something like this, but it was the most logical. You had to give it that.

"Maybe if you two work together, we can figure this thing out." She didn't bother asking what she was supposed to do in the meanwhile, or even Kirk. For one, she didn't especially want to give McCoy an opportunity to order her around again. For another, the suspicion still lingered that this wasn't something McCoy could fix; Uhura wanted to spend some time with the elder McCoy, if she could and he didn't mind the company.
