cimorenei like spock and uhura's dynamic. the scenes showing her teasing him and their camaraderie in this episode and "charlie x" (posted yesterday) demonstrate her intelligence, confidence, and sense of humour. she's my favourite secondary character (and part of scotty/uhura, my seekrit het OTP). 10 caps underneath.
SPOCK: mister uhura, your last subspace log contained an error in the frequencies column.
UHURA: mister spock, sometimes i think if i hear that word "frequency" once more i'll cry.
SPOCK looks up quickly, confused.
SPOCK: ...cry?
UHURA (laughing): i was just trying to start a conversation.
SPOCK looks into the distance with an expression of puzzlement, then raises his eyebrows and returns his attention to the data padd in his lap.
SPOCK: well... since it is illogical for a communications officer to resent the word "frequency"... i have no answer.
SPOCK looks at UHURA again.
UHURA: no, you have an answer; i'm an illogical woman who's beginning to feel too much a part of that communications console.
SPOCK rolls his eyes.
UHURA: why don't you tell me i'm an attractive young lady--
SPOCK looks ostentatiously at the ceiling and scratches under his collar.
UHURA: or ask me if i've ever been in love--tell me how your planet Vulcan looks on a lazy evening when the moon is full.
SPOCK puts his chin in his hand, and looks at her grinning face.
SPOCK: Vulcan has no moon, mister uhura.
UHURA: i'm not surprised, mister spock.
