Part 5

We walked into the room and, from the looks of it, it was a normal room, with an empty feeling throughout it, and I would have to change that as soon as I had all my belongings. I went to the computer inside the room and started setting a password for my room. Looking over to the doorway where Spock stood, I blinked a few times in confusion. "Um is there sometime you … er well need," my voice was shaking and I did a terrible job on trying to hide it. He shifted he weight while thinking on the right response to my illogic question.

"Well, Ms. Muse…" I stopped him before he could finish. "Just call me Elpis; I hate being called by my last name." (Pet peeve of mine.)

"Well, Ms. Elpis," he restarted, "I was wondering how you could be Vulcan when your physical feature are that of a human and the manner in which you act is also human."

"I'm one-fourth Vulcan, which in turn means that my human genes are more dominant, also being raised by my human father on Earth resulted in my being almost perfectly human."

"Almost?" I took a deep breath. I took the ponytail holder off my wrist and tied my hair back, showing my only physical Vulcan feature. His eyebrow shot up as he took in all the new information, that was mainly insult to most of his kind but he looked at me like a new species of plant or how a doctor does to a new disease trying to figure it all out.

"Fascinating," he said after a long pause. Our eyes kept locking with one other, I found it almost annoying. We both did not talk for so long, just tried to figure the other out in a comfortable silence. I would not pay much attention to the fact of how close we were to one and other. I feel that the feelings going through my body were illogical because of the fact that if I did not know this man for more than a few days, he was of a higher rank than me, and, well, I really don't have a third reason.

"I believe that I should return to my duties now, Ms. Elpis." Spock stated and left. I took down my hair and sighed, my thoughts spinning in my head like a marry-go-round put on crazy speed. I looked around the room in pure boredom then remembered I have a job to do. Now where did I put that fucking uniform!?

"Damn it, Jim! You forgot to give me that damn thing," I cursed out loud.

"Ya, it would have been great it you told me before I was half way to the mess hall," Jim said from the doorway.

"It's your fault for being male," I replied cockily. He threw the uniform in my face and left without another word. "What a great captain." I went to the bathroom to change my uniform. Dodging through the halls of the starship, trying my hardest not to run into anyone, thank god I made it to sickbay without almost killing myself.

"Oh look you're back," smiled a blond nurse, I don't know why but kind of made me sick, she seemed excessively emotional even for a human (not a big fan of chapel).

"Um Ya, I'm great at bad timing." I laughed sheepishly. I looked around trying to find McCoy, I barley got to talk to the man when I first met him. "Damn, I'm A DOCTOR NOT A FILING CABINET," yelled McCoy with his arms full of PADD's. The blond looked nervous and tried to help him but epically failed at it. "Oh good YOU'RE here help me with these damn things." I guess he was talking to me, I walked over to him and grab some out of his hands and place them on the desk that was to the left of us. McCoy calmed down after a few minutes and the nurse was out of sight.

"So what do I do?" I asked as soon as he was calm and the blunt objects were nowhere near.

"Well being the Consular, you talk to people about their feelings which I find it weird for you to be one because the "copper poisoning".

"No, duh but isn't that your job."

"It was, but Jim thinks that it would be better if you did it and Starfleet agrees, less work for me I'm already up to my ass in paperwork," he started signing some paperwork as I just sat there waited.

"Get off your lazy ass." I jumped from McCoy's yelling which caused me to fall out of the chair.

"Damn it McCoy, you could just tap me or something, not screaming your ass off." I yelled back as I saw a young brown-hair ensign behind him.

"Here's your first patient," He pointed to the girl. I stood up and walked toward my office that Bones showed me before I fell a sleep.

"Hello I'm Elpis Muse." I smile and held out my hand.

"Joy," she kept shifting her weight and biting her lip.

"So whats wrong?" I grabbed a notebook and started writing some notes. An hour past as the young girl told me about her life. She finally left, feeling a lot better.

"Hey bones, I now know why you really did not want this job," Bones laughed. "I'm going to get a bite."

I ran down the halls to the Mess Hall and with my crappy luck ran into a fucking wall…I tried to push off the wall but it was very much toned, heat began to come off my face. I looked up to the toned wall to see a random Asian. "Um hi," my face was screaming red.

"Hello I'm Sulu, you must be Elpis," he smiles.

"I um well….ham." I could not put the right words together and don't know why I said ham. I wanted to slap myself for the random retardedness.

"I get that a lot," he smiled cockily, never mind he's just like Jim.

"Yes, I'm Elpis but, to you I'm Ms. Muse, good day." I stood taller and walked away. I continue to walk to the Mess hall. I got some food and started to look for some place to sit, dear god it looked like high school all over again, or what Jim told me Earth high school looked like (remember teenage life on Vulcan). People sat in their little groups. I looked over to the cover to see Spock with a woman. He seems to be the only person did know so sadly I walked over to sit by them.

"Hey Mr. Spock you don't mind if I join you and…" I look towards the woman hoping she'd say her name.

"Uhura," she finish as she poked her food. Ok so I'm guessing she is with Spock or has emotional feelings for him.

"It's very nice to meet you," I put a fake smile on, I don't know why but I have a bad feeling about her.
