Jim, ashayam --
04:56
It has been pleasant to wake alongside you on so many consecutive occasions. In hopes the feeling is mutual, I find I must apologize for allowing myself that experience this morning but departing in advance of allowing you to share in it. I considered waking you to ensure equity in this regard, but I chose not to do so for two reasons, each in equal measure. One, I hesitated to disrupt your peace. Two, I feared you would attempt to persuade me to remain rather than attending to matters in the lab (and, moreover, feared I would be unable to resist such persuasion as I imagine you would provide). It had been my intention to be present upon your return last night to facilitate a conversation, if you wished. I was sorrowed by your discontent yesterday, and wished to respect your privacy while ensuring you were aware of my support and regard for you. It would please me to be given the opportunity to show you this tonight, after shift.
I will sign presumptuously,
Your Spock.
Presumptuously?!?!
06:59
sorry this is like the most romantic good morning letter i’ve ever gotten by a magnitude of eight
07:02

Spock
It would please me for you to respond in the affirmative to my suggestion that we meet after shift.
07:04

07:05
Spock

07:05
Good morning, Jim.

07:25
how is it that you just gave me three different answers and none of them was yes
07:27
can i use the word ululating to describe that thing zhk did at the end of the dusking ceremony
07:56
Captain. Let me take care of describing the untranslated communications. You just need to cover the diplomatic efforts.
07:57
What, you don’t think that “causing ululation” was a part of my diplomatic effort?
07:58
Standard punctuation in a text comm? Who are you and what have you done to my captain?!
07:59
And when did I give you my personal comm?!
ugh okay fine idk why i even try
08:00

god pav is right you really cant hold your liquor
ok but hear me out: what if instead of getting the bot to recognize the carnivorous plants by location or visual characteristics, i get it to recognize them by sensing for gaseous emissions
08:04
Hikaru
fuck off it’s too early for science
08:04
its never too early for science
08:07
Hikaru
a) our carnivorous plants aren’t consuming enough to be releasing consistently detectable levels
08:11
b) andorian daylilies give off the same spectrum of emissions
