in "court martial", kirk is court-martialed for negligence blah blah manslaughter blah blah. the evidence is damning, as it takes the form of a computer recording. of course, in the end spock is able to prove he was framed.

KIRK's communicator beeps.

KIRK: kirk here.

SPOCK: captain, i have run a complete megolite survey on the computer--

KIRK: i'll tell you what you've found: nothing, right?

SPOCK winces a little.

SPOCK: you sound bitter, captain.

KIRK: not bitter enough to forget to thank you for your efforts.

there's a brief pause in which SPOCK looks pained.
SPOCK: further instructions?

KIRK: no--and it's not all bad, mr spock. who knows? you may be able to beat your next captain at chess. kirk out.

SPOCK is still for a moment before he tightens his mouth and turns around to close the communication channel.

bonuses:

that's the female dress uniform on aurelan shaw, kirk's ex and the attorney who's prosecuting him now. you can't see it there, but it's cut like the regular ones but longer, which is to say, it's a pair of shorts with two little flaps, one in the front and one in the back.

mccoy doesn't have gold braid, just gold piping, cause his rank is lower.

forgive kirk the frown. he's very angsty and self-doubting this episode.

it's actually supposed to be a white noise device. the computer is picking up and broadcasting everyone's heartbeats, and by holding it in front of you and turning a ~~non-existent~~ invisible dial on the base of the ~~mic~~ device, mccoy can make it blank out your heartbeat so the computer doesn't pick it up anymore.
