"Captain, sensors picked up an unmarked vessel. Refuses to identify." Sulu reported to Kirk, who reluctantly took her chair. Spock stood to her right, Bones on the left.
"Um. . .can we see it?" Kirk asked. Sulu and Chekov looked at each other, then back at Kirk. Spock sighed.
"On screen, Mr. Chekov."
"Aye, sir." As he made a few adjustments to his controls, a small brown dot appeared in the center of the view screen.
"Bigger!" said Kirk.
"Magnify," said Spock.
"Aye, commander." The dot expanded to fill the screen, resolving into an unexpected shape.
"What."
"Indeed, doctor. What even." The trio had frozen momentarily, but Bones's flat exclamation removed their paralysis. Kirk put forth an uncertain inquiry.
"Ummmm. . .you guys? Is that. . ."
"I believe it is, Captain."
Spock glanced at her two companions. Bones was doing the same, and they noticed Kirk's face at the same moment. They shared a long-suffering look, and waited for it.
"Can we. . .fit inside that?"
Oh goodness, this is lovely. I love that you have to translate everything I say.
