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.

Spock blinks at him, and somehow that single action manages to convey that, in this moment, he thinks Pike is an idiot. "No, Captain, of course not. Such a thing would be barbaric and unnecessary."

Pike laughs, more to relieve tension than because of any humor in the situation - which is actually pretty hilarious, from an outsider perspective. "I'm just making sure there won't be any cultural misunderstandings."
