⤷ ✧ @lessontwo said, ❝ see that? I've never seen one so big. ❞ from t'lyn.

usually, working with vulcans affords una a certain relief from what others might perceive as unnecessary comments. this observation crosses her mind vaguely, though it does not pull her attention from surveying the landing party’s efforts. they have spread out, crew of scientists busy about their tasks, small escort of security personnel monitoring. all routine. still, her gaze cannot help but seek for anything out of place, not unlike a watchmaker might search for the slightest deviation in a timepiece’s gears.

she does not look down, nor pay any need to whatever piece of flora or fauna has attracted the ensign’s attention. ❛ is this of scientific interest, or personal? ❜ once, she would have been more easily distracted ( though biology had never been her speciality. at least, not this form of biology ). now, her job is to keep others on track, a task she will fail should she indulge the scientist in her.

⤷ ✧ @lessontwo said, ❝ do you really want to know, or would you prefer to just shoot us? ❞ from la'an.

the question catches una’s attention, formerly only half-granted to her friend and largely preoccupied by the machinery before her, purpose still undetermined. she straightens, crosses her arms, and considers la’an with narrowed eyes. ❛ until you said that, I truly wanted to know. ❜ now, however…

❛ if it’s that bad, take it to the captain. I do not want to hear about it. ❜ not because it bears urgency justifying the captain’s involvement, but because he is far less likely to, as la’an phrased it, shoot them. she does not mean it ( there is no need to place this upon his plate ), and contrary to her words, she continues without a pause, ❛ it has been forty-three minutes, la’an. what did you get into in forty-three minutes? ❜ perhaps more importantly, what had she dragged two unsuspecting ensigns into.
