Spock, having now confirmed that the handprint on Uhura's aesthetically pleasing gluteus maximus was indeed Don Gottee's, made his way to the back of the room. In seconds, muscular businessmen in too-small suits started hitting the floor.

Enthralled with Uhura's ass in that short Starfleet micro-skirt, Gottee reached out and groped Nyota Uhura again.

Uhura's - and her mother's - eyes turned to slits. Projecting her voice over the growing fracas, Counselor Uhura shouted her ultimatum.

"Judge, I DEMAND a summary judgement for Ms. Uhura! Mr. Gottee just assaulted my daughter again!"

"I have eyes, Counselor. Mr. Gottee -" the judge warned.

Uhura reverted to bar fight mode.

"Not here, Lieutenant. Remember where we are." Kirk softly warned her, with no hope of stopping the carnage about to occur. The wrist and ankle manacles he shared with Sulu and Scotty prevented him from preventing her from hurting a lot of "businessmen".

The judge failed to understand the significance of Uhura's move towards Gottee but the Enterprise officers recognized her Wonder Woman martial arts stance and took a giant step sideways - forcing Donal onto the floor.

"Watchit, ya goons!"

Scotty's heel rocketed backwards and the noise from the two-legged rodent on the floor stopped.

Moving away from the judge's bench, Gottee lumbered in Spock's direction, reaching for the bulge in the breast pocket of his suit jacket, when a foot landed in a very sensitive area of his body.

"What the hell!?"

Gottee stood upright and pissed off, notwithstanding Uhura's forceful kick to his groin.

Oh, snap! Nyota thought.

She recalculated her akido counter move, factoring in the possibility that Gottee only appeared to be human.

"Dammit, Carol - we got trouble!" McCoy announced.

"Right you are, Doctor. I'll take Nyota. You take the mountain." Carol directed on the run.

Gottee's failure to pass out brought Carol Marcus and McCoy at a dead run from the audience galley. Carol would back up Nyota. McCoy extracted his always-available hypospray from a pocket and aimed himself at Gottee.

"Yeah -," the gangster drawled to a shocked Nyota Uhura, "- you're not the first broad that's tried that. Got my family jewels in a custom case."

The kick had one unexpected benefit; it arrested Gottee's response to Spock's elimination of his henchman.

The disposal expert returned his attention to Nyota. Uhura backed away one careful step at a time. With an arm, she protectively pushed her protesting parent out of her path.

Gottee smirked, appreciating the younger Uhura's feistiness.

"You got spunk, kid. What I'd like to do to that body... Come to daddy, honey."

"Order in the court!-" Everright shouted, tapping the gavel sound effect icon on his PADD over and over again to regain some sense of decorum.
