The judge's next words were drowned out by the growling Vulcan maelstrom headed towards the bench. Spock's sensitive hearing picked up his mother-in-law's confirmation that Gottee had once again placed his DNA on one of Spock's few possessions.
Carol jumped the decorative railing separating the galley from the court proceedings. McCoy slid along the railing's top, swinging his legs over. Both got tangled in the shackle chains trailing Kirk, Sulu and Scott. Neither arrived at their agreed-to destinations before the next violent encounter between the Lieutenant and the Businessman.
The Enterprise's "three amigos" had worked their way nearer to Nyota and were desperately trying to intervene in her behalf. Oblivious to the movement around them, they scooted and shuffled their fettered feet directly into Spock's path.
At a dead run, the possessive Vulcan husband's momentum took the Enterprise perps down with him. Entangled in the chains, Carol Marcus and McCoy tumbled as well. Spock's greater mass - and the cuffs on his crew mates' wrists and ankles - made it impossible for them to participate in the short Uhura-Gottee altercation about to occur.
Donal's muffled screams barely penetrated the pile of Enterprise officers crushing his chest. No one attempted to rescue him as he nearly suffocated under the weight.
Nyota's next kick hit Don Gottee square in his head where one brain cell wandered lonely and forlorn.
The courtroom shook like a planet-quake from the impact tremor of Gottee's bulk hitting the floor.
"Who's your daddy now, punk?" Uhura gloated over the unconscious businessman.
Judge Everright moved quickly to restore order to his courtroom and peace to Risa. Exercising his judicial privilege, Everright concluded the proceedings post haste.
"Cases against Ms. Uhura, whatever-his-name-is Spock, Donald Trump, James Kirk and Hikaru Sulu are dismissed.
"Summary judgement against Montgomery Scott is assault with provocation in defense of Ms. Uhura. Misdemeanor offense satisfied by his time served in the holding cell. Record to be expunged in six Fed. Standard months if he stays away from Risa and out of my courtroom.
"Seal all records until Mr. Scott's probation is over then burn'em. I never want to see any of you in this courtroom again. M'Umbha - you're welcome any time.
"Please remand Mr. Gottee to custody when he wakes up. I'll sort out his situation at a decent hour.
"Court adjourned."
Mrs. Uhura smiled at him, all 1000-watts. Lawler Everright - and quite a few observers - lost time in that smile.
"Always a pleasure, Lawler. Come by the compound the next time you're Earth-side."
