Experimental PADD Technology (aka the coolest group chat ever)

Summary:

Starfleet is rolling out new PADD features, one of which is a groupchat. The senior crew of the Enterprise decide it’s a fantastic idea. Well, most of them.

(Bones is annoyed, Kirk is pining for a certain prim Vulcan, Uhura is busy being a girlboss, and with all of the ship drama going on, there’s sure to be a lot of chaos.)

Notes:

so anyway enjoy the mostly fun hijinks of the gang, I’ll probably add more ships and tags to the description when I update. no idea how long this is gonna be. seriously, just read it and laugh dudes (or at least snort out your nose maybe)

Leonard: how do I get out of this

Leonard: it’s not funny uhura

Uhura: hi guys!! we got clearance from Starfleet to try out new group chat PADD technology 

Uhura: what should we call it?

Leonard: lisTEN TO ME I DONT WANT TO BE HERE

Kirk: hiya

Uhura: hi! do u know where Spock is??

Leonard: don’t tell me

Leonard: im stuck in a group chat with the hobgoblin

Uhura: it’s for the whole bridge crew tbh. so maybe don’t tell the ensigns or yeomans

Kirk: be reasonable bones

Kirk: 🥺🥺🥺

Chekov: SKSKSKSKS

Chekov: KEPTIN

Kirk: Chekov don’t tell me that’s how you’ve been spelling my title on official documents. please

Chekov: UM

Kirk: *sigh*

Leonard: gee thats a mood

Uhura: Leonard, you can’t really leave, it’ll mess up the whole thing and Starfleet won’t get their diagnostics. Can’t you just turn your PADD to silent mode?

Kirk: no he’ll miss alerts then

Kirk: he can’t do that, he just has to put up with us

Leonard: when did you idiots become an ‘us’?

Uhura: bridge crew inside joke

Chekov: yeah doctor you just wouldn’t get it

Leonard: im having the urge to punch somebody.

Chekov: FIGHT FHIVGT FIGHT

Kirk: stop. 

Uhura: *deathly silence*

Uhura: Leonard where did you go

Kirk: he’s abandoned us I think. We’re too cool for him

Kirk: so anyway

Kirk: hi

Uhura: hi!

Chekov: alpha shift begins in ten minutes, keptin. Should we inform Mister Spock of our new group chat trial???

Kirk: nah

Kirk: he’ll figure it out, he’s smart like that

Chekov: *somebody mentions Spock* keptin Kirk: 😍😍😍

Uhura: LMFAO 

Kirk: I’m beginning to have regrets about this 

Kirk: go to shift, guys

Uhura: hehe

7:30 PM

Uhura: is anybody online? I’ve been requested to check the chat’s frequency between members both close and long range

Uhura: it’s urgent

Spock: What do you require, Lieutenant Uhura?

Uhura: oh! Spock! welcome to the chat. Need me to explain anything?

Spock: Unnecessary. From your previous conversation, I have adequately surmised this program’s function, as well as read up on more recent Terran social media terms for a more specific knowledge of your conversing. What can I help you with?

Spock: I have also connected my PADD with my bridge scanner for convenient access. 

Uhura: wow, that was fast. good job!!!!

Uhura: okay, so I just need u to check ur PADD connection and give me the status link, and then send a couple more messages back and forth while I scan the code

Spock: understood.

Spock: status//http.ShipAnalysisCodingFrequency22389.0

Uhura: thank you!

Chekov: hehehehehehhe

Chekov: keptin Kirk is staring at mister Spock’s bottom rather intently

Uhura: CHEKOV MISTER SPOCK IS RIGHT HERE 😳

Chekov: OOP

[Chekov deleted a message]

Uhura: nice save pavel

Spock: Do you have the necessary frequency as of now, Lieutenant? 

Uhura: aha yes I do. apologies about Chekov, he’s going to have better manners next time

Uhura: 👀 👀

Chekov: NO PROMISES
