A week later:

"Mr Montgomery Scotty?"
"Lassie, turn that music down! I can't hear a thing. Yes, Jaylah?"
"About Sulu…"
"Not again! I've heard enough stories this week. You know, apparently he's gay."
Jaylah grinned. It looked dangerous.
"What's funny about that?"
"Did you know I have two nipples on every breast?"
Scotty froze, then quickly put his hands on his ears.
"I don't want to hear it! Seriously, was I the only one who actually locked themselves in? I'm not interested."
"Sulu was."
"SCOTTY! What's going on down there? We suddenly fell back on 65 % acceleration power, has something happened? "
"Sorry, captain." Scotty immediately put his hands back on the table and guiltily pushed a few buttons. "Everything's alright, captain. Just a tiny… interference. Nothing dramatic. What did you say, lassie? "
"He got so excited. It's meant to grow and be like, hard, isn't it?"
Scotty simply stared at her. Then the image of Sulu's naked body came to his mind.
"Stop, lassie, stop right here." He said. "I really don't want to imagine that. We're three and a half years into this mission now, and I successfully avoided naked bodies so far."
They worked in amicable silence for a few minutes until Scotty couldn't hold it back any longer.
"And… Did you two… eh… do anything?" he finally asked.
Jaylah looked at him, calculating.
"No. I told him I got a man down in the machine rooms."
Scotty looked to the small alien next to him, then over the handrail. Hundreds of male redshirts worked down there.
When he met her eyes, realization dawned on his face.
"Wait. What. Me?!"
