Fred/Uhura Makes a Speech

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 18928

"Just look at what you're doing!" said Fred in Uhura's sternest voice. "You're Starfleet officers! You swore an oath, or have you forgotten that? And not only are you abandoning your duty to Starfleet and to your shipmates, but you're throwing away your own careers! Is that what you really want?" Nurse Chapel and the female orderly appeared to be listening to her, though it was hard to tell from their expressions what they were thinking. She drew a deep breath and kept going. "I know that Starfleet doesn't actually promote sexual equality as much as it pretends to." That's right, whispered the insidious little voice inside her mind. Do something about it. Join them! She ignored it. "But this isn't the way to go about changing that. Mutiny isn't the answer. It'll only get you all expelled from the service if you're lucky, and killed if you aren't. So, please, just put down the weapons. You're not doing yourselves or your unborn children any good."

  1. That last point, in particular, seemed to have an effect on them. Hesitantly, the two women lowered their phasers.
  2. The women seemed uncertain what to make of this speech... But it did succeed in distracting them enough for McCoy and the male orderlies to pounce on them and relieve them of their weapons.
  3. "What an utterly male thing to say," sneered Chapel. "I'm not sure you're actually one of us at all!" And she trained her phaser firmly on Uhura.
  4. "What an utterly male thing to say," sneered Chapel. "I'm not sure you're actually one of us at all!" And she trained her phaser firmly on Uhura.
