Sitting in a conversation she could contribute so little to was mind-numbingly frustrating. Nyota Uhura was not a physicist, nor did she possess the Vulcan genius that would perhaps shed some light on this whole situation. She was, however, a communications expert, and as soon as she could slip away there was someone that she had to see.
Sliding quietly out of the Bridge, Nyota ducked quickly back to her quarters to retrieve the PADD she'd been steeling herself to deliver. It was disconnected from every network possible, and contained only the select information she had decided to put on it; the public history of the Federation, as well as some additional histories that the Captain Pike in the Brig could do no harm with. He had responded well enough to an exchange of information before and a little empathy, she just hoped that he would do the same now. If anyone had a clue how this other Spock worked, it would be him.
With a curt nod to the security officers flanking the entrance to his cell, Nyota took a step inside just in time to see the man fall to the floor. Out of instinct she moved to rush forward, calling out his name, but caught herself when she realized exactly where she was and who he was. This wasn't the Pike she knew but he was still in trouble and needed help. "Damn it." she hissed through gritted teeth, pushing the food and PADD she had been carrying into the arms of the nearest guard, slamming a hand onto the intercom. "Lieutenant Uhura to Medical." She glanced over her shoulder at the guards, waving between them and the cell. She had seen the way he fell, and it wasn't an act. "Open the damn thing. Medica-- damn it, Leo! I'm in the Brig and Pher just collapsed on me."
As soon as the force field was dropped, Nyota moved over to kneel beside him, carefully avoiding any contact with those damned gloves. Training taught her to check for a pulse - check. So he wasn't dead. "Tell Doctor McCoy we're coming up and whatever you do do NOT touch those gloves." She didn't have to tell the security officers twice, they'd been around enough to know how dangerous he was. However unhappy they seemed to be with touching Pike, they swiftly did as they were told.
