Of course it made sense. If people were being plucked out of time and space and she was chosen, it stood to reason that a good number of her crew would be as well. That was a heartening thought for Uhura as she followed the Commander an alien staircase and down a hallway. This place was pretty, she noted that absently.

The idea of security wasn't too terribly bothersome. There had been a stress on the peaceful nature of this world, as well as the knowledge that Spock would hardly let harm befall her easily.

"Any luck, Commander?" Her voice kept low.

Nyota resisted the urge to peek over his shoulder, focusing her attention on keeping an eye out for other surprises.

feel free to actually narrate/make things up about the security and guards!

"I believe the room at the end of the hall is security. However I have not visited this particular building frequently enough to know for certain."

A raised brow and tilt of his head told Uhura that the two of them would need to scout it out.

Rarely is Uhura one of those chosen for an away mission unless there is a linguistic need. But she's been through all the training, and survived more than enough dangerous calls to know how to hold herself. This however, doesn't really give the feeling of immediate danger that landing on the Klingon home world would, just for instance.

What she excels at is communication, and Spock's body language in particular is something she's well versed in. The tilt and the eyebrow are more than enough to send her tiptoeing forward, just as silent as he could be, but somewhat smaller of a figure, and thus, with the better odds of gaining a closer look.

Inside the room, thankfully the door is open or there might otherwise be a complication, but inside the room are two young looking (can one tell the age of an immortal by appearance?) men. One with white blond hair and one with blue and a vaguely scale like tatooing across his skin.

Mermaid children, of course. They are talking amiably and Uhura's keen ears pick up the conversation easily. Just daily gossip. Something that looks like a key card is hanging from the Nysgod's belt.

Spock followed as closely as he could behind Uhura, until they were just meters away. He stopped, knowing that she would continue onwards, and scout the security room. Keeping an eye on their tail, Spock awaited her signal.

Inside security, the Nysgod with blonde hair rises from his seat and turns so that his back facing the entrance. He's studying a screen of monitors, squinting at something in the background. A few seconds later, he asks his blue haired partner to take a look. Something suspicious has appeared on screen.

Nyota was not a violent person by nature. She disliked physical fighting and preferred to win an argument or difference of opinion based on the merits of her words, which was no surprise to anyone. But there were times when you were hip deep in a bad situation and the only thing you could do was fall back on self preservation.

She knew that on screen it was more likely than not, herself and Spock's presence in the tower. Without stopping to worry about what would happen next, Uhura strode in and reached for the nearly heavy, blunt object.

"I am so sorry." She murmmured in Rigelian. Not a particularly eloquent language under normal circumstances, but they had hundreds of shaded meanings to transgressions. The hard device connected to the back of the first Nysgod's head and he never had the time to look surprised as he slumped unconscious.

Uhura bent down to make sure the man was alright, immortal as they claimed to be, she just wanted to be sure. Trusting that Spock would handle the second guard.
