writing up his nu!trek comic history haha sobs why

[dow]

Out of a total of twenty-five comics you have collected twenty-two and committed three-thousand, five-hundred and twenty-nine words to the dissection of fifteen. This is insufficient data from which to extrapolate thorough character references and leaves out a considerable berth of experience. A total of six-thousand words should prove an enlightening task to begin with and will serve its purpose long after your work is done. If you insist on eventually taking satisfaction in a comprehensive report concerning my service on the Enterprise you will need to redouble your efforts in documentation or I cannot speak as to a reliable level of accuracy.

[ it's called relaxing omg just kill me u slavedriver ]

Neither would that solve the problem of your lackadaisical attitude when it comes to "taking breaks" which I have not sanctioned. Case in point.

Spock...

[ she can't even .. she just can't. ]

[dow]

Nyota.

[ Hello, dear!! Aren't you glad you're not his student anymore. ]

[polyglot]

[ you have no idea. ]

Wouldn't you like to take a break, too?

[dow]

I am not fatigued. Rather, I find myself in earnest regarding the completion of this report.

[ It's not a report, Spock, fuck off. ]

[polyglot]

You might be, but she isn't. So, why not enjoy the rest?

[ come on. you can't resist this smile. ]

[uncurbed]

Humans take breaks, Spock. It's how we keep our productivity up in the first place.

[ slow your roll homie, good grief. ]

[dow]

[ No, shush, beloved captain and scourge of anyone with a deadline. ]

Her efforts are yielding unsatisfactory results, I am endeavoring to increase the work ethic involved.

[uncurbed]

[ hey excuse you - just because he takes his time with .. everything .. doesn't mean it doesn't eventually get done!

gawd. ]

I really don't think berating someone is going to get you the results you're looking for.

[ just saaayin'. ]

[dow]

It was constructive criticism.

[ No one can tell Spock that writing out reports isn't a good time and if you argue with him you are either stupid or just plain wrong. #snootysciencenerds ]

Perhaps if you were to submit one of your mission logs, I could more clearly define parameters upon which you might improve. It would be no trouble.

[uncurbed]

I think you and I differ on our opinions of constructive criticism.

[ he's kind of amused, though. just a little.

you take your snooty self on, you little vulcan smartass. a good time is a couple of rounds at the bar and cheating your ass at chess sleeping past oh-six-hundred. ]

No trouble, I'm sure. I appreciate the offer, but I'm pretty sure I don't need to improve on those. They're flawless.

[ .. you can't be serious. ]

[medicos]

[ lmao jesus christ ]

Don't think she cares about whether or not you "sanction" whatever it is she wants and doesn't want to do, Spock.

[dow]

An illogical course of action, given I am more than qualified to offer advice as a former Academy instructor.

[ LET'S WRITE SOME ESSAYS let's do itttt. He'll cite the shit out of you, don't even go there okok. ]

[qomi]

Does this summation also include a qualitative analysis?

[dow]

[ Spock P, are you sassing yourself. ]

I am overseeing it. [ THAT SAYS EVERYTHING, clearly. ] It is simply too short to include each salient point of import.

[qomi]

[ Well, he wasn't planning to. An antagonistic approach to anything is ill-befitting of a Vulcan and even more illogical when one is addressing a version of themselves. He's only making an inquiry. ]

I will respect your judgement on the matter, but it sounds as if you are suggesting that you do not believe it is possible to make a succinct report, or that there is any such a thing as an extraneous detail.

[ That's just how it sounds, mind you. Just how efficient are you, young blood? ]

[dow]

[ He is so efficient he's like

a Vulcan broom

or something more amazing than that, shut up. He's a broom with warp capabilities. ]

Once a full report is comprised, it will then be appropriate to curtail both the length and content. Until such a time, I would prefer a full measure of attention is devoted and an innate understanding of the subject committed to memory.

[qomi]

[ Wow, did you mean a Vulcan vacuum? Because that smilie sucked. Leave the similes and metaphors to McCoy, where he doesn't have to acknowledge them unless it's fortuitous for the backhand of logic. He resisted this cross-contamination for years, don't you give in so easily.

The light bounce of brows equivocates to a shrug, along with a small, thoughtful nod. ]

That is your prerogative.

[ Whatever works; it does not seem to him ineffective by any means. He has come to accept there is no one true path to any solution. ]

However, I would hope you would be mindful that you cannot hold a Vulcan standard to a human; that would hardly be logical. There is a crux between constructive encouragement and a dictatorship. It can be difficult to ascertain.

[ He's on your side, really. There's a charming little tilt of his head, a suggestion of some sort of smile even if his features do not belie it ( of course not ). ]

In my experience, one can discern such a point by comparative analysis of the writing before and after the initial complaint. It will not benefit you to prompt sub-par work.

[doctor_not_a]

Oh God, you're just as bad in an alternate universe.

[dow]

And you, Doctor, are as emotionally invested as ever.

[sufferably]

You know, just saying "shut up and finish" would've taken much less time to say.

[dow]

That implies I do not wish to provide assistance and have no marked interest in the subject, Doctor. As each installment regularly delves into the events of my life, I assure you that I do. Perhaps you would do better to take your own advice when applying yourself in medbay, considering the temperamental nature of your profession.

[ Potions. ]

[sufferably]

I'd take it under advisement, but I clocked out halfway through that speech.

_{( sentence number two.five or thereabouts. )}

[dow]

[ r u d e! ]

It is unfortunate Nurse Chapel is no longer aboard to provide her unwavering attention to detail. There is clearly no way of knowing when else you decide to "clock out".

[sufferably]

_{( no one has suffered chapel's loss more than he has. no one. )}

Yeah, too bad. Next time you're dying, make sure you mention all the salient points in the first couple clauses.

[zunarjayfive]

Wow. That's...pretty harsh.

[This coming from a cat who's been in space for 6 months just to make it to Earth. Though his lips don't move, his voice transmits from the glowing collar around his neck as he looks up at the Vulcan.]

I'm pretty sure humans need a break now and again, maybe you should cut them some slack.
