Swiping the unmute icon with a knuckle, Kirk addressed his next comments to the other guilty party.
"Donal! How's the mop-up coming?"
"Alright-alright-alright! I'm losing TRILLIONS here and do I get any sympathy? NO! youheartlessS-O-B..."
"I'm sorry for you, Donal. You helped us out and things haven't worked out for you." Kirk diplomatically acknowledged without attributing blame to its true source.
Apparently the dolls were too anatomically correct; each reacted to stimulus. Kids couldn't dress the dolls up without causing... natural responses.
Mothers' groups sued to keep the dolls off the shelves.
Spock, Kirk, Sulu, Spirk and Skirk fandoms counter-sued to keep the dolls on the shelves. And to get life-sized versions with moveable parts.
Donal claimed ignorance and blamed the manufacturers.
"Donal, what's your net after fees and damages?" Sulu asked, typing furiously into his PADD.
"None-ya, yougreedyassassin!
"I kept my end of the deal. All the dolls I could get my hands on have been destroyed. I shut down the authorized factories and the servers on Earth, Betazed, Velara, Arachnis, Panther and Gorn."
Donal left out his "inability" to shut down the unauthorized servers on Ferenginar, Cardassia and Talos IV (since the planet was uninhabited - regardless of the calendars rolling off the unattended servers and onto the 'net) and his trove of hidden latinum stashed on Ferenginar.
"BecauseI'mawesomelikethat, I spread some cred and got the junket records sealed. Now will you please get that pit bull lawyer Mumbles Uhura off my ass, thankyouverymuch!?"
"M'Umbha -" Spock corrected.
"What? You say something, Spock?" Donal whined back to the screen.
"My mother-in-law's first name; it is 'M'Umbha'"
"I don't care if her first name is Rhumba, get'er dancin' ass offa me! She's bad for business."
"Good for her clients, though, lads."
After the ordeal he'd been through, Scotty figured he'd earned a dig or two at Donal.
"So, Donal... I'm guessing you lost a bundle on this calendar." McCoy prodded.
"I'mheretotellya, you have no idea how much. Next time I work with you guys we're leaving Starfleet out of it - that'sthetruth."
Komack defended himself and his beloved Starfleet in a booming baritone.
"Mr. Trumpe - any problems with this effort -"
Donal was through fluffing Komack.
"Shut it, Jimmy K.! I gotta pic of you manhandling some Uhura ta-tas belonging to Spock.
"Never figured you for the type, Jimmy K, but I've seen you with your tongue hanging out for Uhura's mother. Keeping it in the family, areya? You grabbed her mother's ass yet?"
Komack's blood pressure spike lit the alarm on McCoy's PADD. Starfleet Medical would be arriving shortly.
"Gotta go, guys! I'll be in touch!"
Wall suddenly replaced Donal face.
