So can we talk about the scene in The Search For Spock when Kirk and co. have gotten onto the Enterprise and are about to steal it

And Kirk tells them they can back out and everyone says, of course, hell no

And we get this most adorable album cover of smiles

And then Kirk with this look of utter adoration tells them to get to their stations

And everyone else goes off to a console to actually do something

But Bones just immediately walks over to stand next to the Captain’s chair and offer commentary, because he clearly considers his “station” to literally be that of Kirk’s right-hand man

and it’s where he belongs <3

Ok. The more you think about early Season Two Jessica the more fascinating she is because she acts just like Jay without having any of the context he has for acting that way.

Like, Jay is missing seven months worth of memory, but he still has the YouTube channel and whatever memory he independently maintained of the Season One time-frame to influence the action he takes. He knows he has reason to be paranoid and playing cards close to his chest, and is somewhat familiar with memory loss enough to know he must have been in the area for a reason and lingers there in an attempt to explore this.

Jessica, though, doesn’t have any Season One context when she wakes up in the motel. She’s just a regular person who woke up one morning in an unfamiliar room in an unfamiliar town and doesn’t know how she got there; she knows that this isn’t her apartment, but can’t remember how to get home, and apparently can’t remember anything else enough to be able to look it up in an attempt to find it. It’s unclear how much memory she’s missing beyond this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she was missing a lot more than just that. Still, she doesn’t go to a hospital, or seem particularly frightened of what’s going on, or seem like she’s seeking any help for any of it at all – she just adapts to it.

She seems largely willing to stay put and wait out the circumstances while she waits for things to start making sense – although she does take the time to be suspicious of and a little antagonistic towards Jay. Whether because she’s also aware of the strangeness of their adjoining rooms or just because she recognizes that Jay also ‘isn’t acting like a normal person’, she keeps an eye on him (who’s to say just How closely she’s actually watching him – at the very least, she’s paying more attention to Jay than Jay is paying attention to her/the lies he’s been telling her) until she feels she’s gathered enough information to confront him.

This, of course, is characterization that leads into my favorite Jessica moment of all time – the clip in the Entry #76 footage when Jessica wakes up in the middle of the woods at night with a masked stranger covering her mouth to prevent her from speaking, which she only really acknowledges with an irritated sounding “I’ve got it” when he tries to help her stand up a moment later. Jessica is like those wild animals who start running mere minutes after being born – she doesn’t need context or information like Tim or Jay do for the circumstances she finds herself in, she just accepts it and hits the ground running trying to figure out where to go from there.

Strange Fluffy Creature

Here's a little piece I wrote for the ALWY server's 'Year of the Rabbit' prompt!

                                          ---

"This won't take long, Agent Minium," the captain said, stepping into their office.

"Take all the time you need." Allu stepped in after them, arms folded behind their back. They were here to collect some information regarding the human colony's technology, ensuring that nothing could threaten universal stability. Again.

The captain nodded, headed to the cabinet behind their desk to pull some files. Allu paced around the room, careful to maintain a professional appearance. They didn't want to show how truly excited they were to be there. They'd never been able to spend time on a human ship - at least, not without the looming threat of a universe-ending wormhole. Every little item peaked their interest, from the Earth plant on the captain's desk to the shelf lined with books written in a strange language called 'English'.

They stopped at a table across the room to look at the antiquated music device sitting there, a 'record player' according to their human history research. They reached out to play with the needle-arm of the device, but paused when they saw a shadow dart beneath the table. They stooped down to follow it.

Sitting back against the wall was a small animal of some kind. Its little round body was covered in brown fur, with patches of black on its floppy ears and whiskered muzzle. Its nose twitched curiously, looking up at them with two little black eyes.

Allu's eyes went wide, their tail staring to wag behind them. Whatever this creature was, it was very, very cute. "Captain?" They stood up and pointed under the table. "What is this?"

The captain looked up from the cabinet, crossing the room to look where they were pointing. "Oh!" Their face lit up. They crouched down, gently petting the creature's back. "This is a rabbit. They're typical pets on Earth. This one belongs to one of my crewmen, looks like she got out again." They gently picked it up, holding it close to their chest and petting it some more. "You're a little escape artist, aren't you Nutmeg?" the captain cooed. "Jason must be worried sick. Don't worry, I'll call him when he's done with the reactor."

Allu watched intently, mentally taking notes about the captain's behavior. They had observed the same with the head engineer and his dog. Humans seemed to adore their animal companions, turning mushy at the sight of them.

The captain looked back up at Allu, their face turning red. They cleared their throat. "The information you wanted is on my desk. I just need to grab a couple more files."

Allu blinked. "Oh, of course. I'll let you finish."

The captain walked back to their desk, rummaging through one of the drawers with a free hand.

Allu followed, sitting at the chair across from them. They kept glancing at the rabbit, Nutmeg, as the captain called it. It really was quite cute. "May I hold it?"

They looked up with a gentle smile. "Of course, just the gentle." They passed it over the desk and into Allu's arms. "Hold her from the back legs, support the torso. Let her feel secure."

Allu sat down, petting the rabbit and letting it settle in their lap. It looked quite content. "Aw, how sweet," they muttered.

They simply watched the rabbit, observing how its fur moved under their red gloves. They began to wonder what it felt like. They quickly took off one of their gloves and set it on the desk. They ran their hand through its fur, eyes widening when they felt how soft it was.

"That should be all of it," the captain sat up, lining up all the files on their desk. They paused, smiling as they watched Allu. "Adorable."
