This, he decided, was the last time he'd take the turbolift anywhere for anything. First he'd been trapped with the Orion, and now... Someone wanted him dead. Granted, people wanting him dead was nothing new, but he couldn't help but wish that whoever it was who kept trapping him in the lift would find a more creative method of disposing of him. Unless... they didn't want him dead, and just got off on watching him be trapped.

"An' why the hell would I want tae be stuck with you for any length o' time?" he added, still digging around in the controls. "Don't flatter yourself, love." It was no use; the controls were absolutely dead. Whoever had done this had made damn sure that he and Uhura would be in here together until.... Until what?

He turned, leaning against the wall, and crossed his arms over his chest, shrugging. "Looks like I'd best get used tae your company, then."
