Aura and the blonde yeoman have a conversation regarding Rickover. I rewrote this scene three times trying to get the feel of the two characters and what Aura would (and wouldn't say) I found a render of the turbo life so I just had to use it. I'm leaning toward naming the yeoman Grace for Grace Lee Whitney who played Yeoman Janice Rand. Rand was named for Rand Corporation; the DoD think tank. Adds fuel to the Conspiracy theory that Roddenberry was privy to SUPER SECRET information regarding aliens and ST:TOS was a gov't plot to get people accustomed to friendly aliens.
I'm floating a script about the court martial of Rickover for sexual harassment. There are a lot of questions to be answered and I'd probably plagarize the ST:TOS script Court Martial. Unless someoen out there wants to submit a script. Anyone out there have any ideas feel free to tell me as I'm open to script rewrites and future tales.

Well, these missions are all about exploration...

@fallopiancrusader: be funny too if on the judge panel would be Shatner as Kirk and Jeffrey Hunter as Pike. Old ST captains versus the reboot. ;-)

Yes, a spoof of "Court Martial" would be hilarious. Except that Rickover should be found guilty, and his punishment is to be rented out to the Aordian senate as their permanent sex slave.

@KimLuster: You're right. It's two women. But most men would finish in plenty of time on a turbolift. (3 to 5 minutes on the average)

And you don't have time to do anything on turbolifts anyway - they're fast...! :)

I was so tempted to do a steamy turbolift sex scene. But it just didn't fit either of their characters. The yeoman is too coy and Aura too much about duty.

Well you can't really learn about other cultures using books, media, internet... You learn other cultures best by getting close and personal with those from that culture... perhaps over wine and candlelight... Or am I just assuming every interaction in this story is gonna go that route haha?!! Oh God I'm a profiler!!!

Ah, I think I see where this is goin'!

And on ST:TOS the rarest thing in Star Fleet seemed to be a female in a command (gold) uniform. They even took away Uhura's after the first few episodes. There are three on Surprise. Did they get their promotions by screwing Rickover?

ST:TOS episode Court Martial was the only time we ever saw a female dress uniform in the original show.

WHAT does she want to shove down their throats?
