The Aftermath

Spock is not pleased.

Pike is not pleased.

There might not be yelling, but the silence is deafening.

Spock has been decontaminated and taken out of the suit, but he's still locked behind an airtight barrier to ensure he's not still able to infect anyone else with whatever it is he came into contact with on the planet. So far, he's not exhibiting any symptoms, but it's unknown whether that's due to humanoid biology, or Vulcanoid biology, or because the virus is ineffectual in an oxygen atmosphere.

Despite all the people poking and prodding at him, he's still working away silently on his PADD, filling out reports. He might as well make use of his time.

Following his own inspection, Pike has at least gotten a new uniform on. Better than both the evo-suit and nothing at all. He's in his own iso-chamber, awaiting some test results, but he isn't idle. He has some business on the bridge to attend to, making sure that the original negotiations were still intact and that their manufactured emergency had been "taken care of."

His conference with Number One is brief but productive, and she's handling things just fine on her end. Once he's done with that, he has very little else to do but sit and observe Spock in the neighboring chamber.

Spock is right to be dreading getting out of sickbay. Pike is already putting together his speech in his head while he sits there, but at least he'll spare the Vulcan the humiliation of being reprimanded in front of everyone while they're in sickbay.

Pike's tests have come back clear; he wasn't exposed to enough of the virus for it to be of major concern, it was the effects of being outside the evo-suit in that atmosphere that were the most worrying. But he's a tough old broad, it's going to take more than a thin atmosphere to knock him out.

As he's discharged, he stops in front of Spock's iso-chamber to address him. "You will report to my ready room immediately after you are released, cadet."

He doesn't even wait for a reply before he's left to go speak with Boyce in his office.

Pike doesn't look up right away when the door swishes open, just gives Spock a simple "sit" direction while he keeps scanning the com screen in front of him. He's long mastered the art of intimidation, especially on lowly cadets, but e's a bit interested to see how effective any of these are on a Vulcan. Human failings, he knows intimately. Vulcans are a whole different matter, though.

Spock will have to sit there until Pike thinks he's squirmed enough.

"Explain to me your actions on the shuttle."

Oh, Spock. Pike will add a little note of his own to that report to clarify the reprimand, but other than that, it's just amusing how thorough his reports are.

The next morning, Spock will have a message from the captain asking if he's free for dinner that evening.

"Enter."

Pike's quarters are spartan, at best. There's very little that's personal, aside from a picture from on his desk of himself, Robert and Sarah April, and Boyce seated at a table and smiling. There's also a line of small crystals - memory crystals - on a shelf, but they're all switched off at the moment, their memories locked safely inside. That's really the only way to tell this is even his cabin.

The captain himself is sitting as his desk but rises as soon as Spock enters in greeting.

"Are they really so set against other species?" Yes, he's experienced the close-mindedness of Vulcans firsthand, but he had written it off as stress or something less... insulting. "I never took them for a friendly lot, but you'd expect such an advanced civilization to perhaps be a little more accepting."

"And yet they still prefer to write you off as human." Pike's familiar with cognitive dissonance, willingly admits that he himself falls victim to it, but he didn't really expect it in Vulcans.

"There is." As Pike pulls the olive out of his own and pops it in his mouth. "It's part of the recipe, though no one can really figure out why. Some people prefer no olives, some prefer two,
There is, however, a fascinating little story about a gold miner ordering a drink at the Occidental Hotel in the 1860s, but it's completely made up."

Mostly because the Occidental didn't exist then, they weren't mining gold then, and that drink is also known as the Martinez, which could theoretically have turned into Martini, but it's still nothing more than an urban myth.

"Absolutely nothing about it is true, or could even remotely be true, but it managed to stick around for three centuries. Even made it into a few history books."

Yes, of course Pike's read history books on the origin of martinis.

"Only currently? So this could change in the future?"

It's a joke, Spock.

Inside, he's cracking up at this, but if Spock isn't so much as grinning, Pike will only return with a small smirk. "Of course. A far more sound choice. Though both of us being from desert climates will hopefully give us a little more time before we resort to such measures."
