[Uhura does what she does best in a crisis: she throws herself into her work. There are bits and pieces of videocameras strewn across her desk, far too messily for them to be of any use to her, far too messily for her to actually be doing work. It's just a distraction, an excuse to beat on the useless ancient tech that gave her only but a few glimpses of Spock before she reported him in missing. None of it did any good in the beginning and it surely does nothing at all now that it's been confirmed that Spock's portrait is indeed in the Hall and the search has been called off.
(She, of course, saves those videos anyway, being the more sentimental half of the couple. The full-on human. The one with the illogical and silly emotions.)
Jim's presence barely registers on her radar at first, only getting her to glance up at him after the second or third (maybe fifth; she wasn't counting) crinkle of a plastic wrapper. Uhura says nothing as she gives him a once-over, noticing that he looks as bad as she feels, but it's not like the days haven't left their mark on her either. Her eyes seem to be constantly stained red and puffy, her throat ever so raw, her words short and clipped, a sign that she doesn't really feel like saying anymore than is purely necessary.
It's not how they usually do things, but then again it's not where they usually are, right?]
