“‘This goes in place on your uniform, in the chest area. Far enough from your mouth to enjoy some protection, close enough to pick up speech and transmit replies.’
‘I am aware of the instrument’s optimal location’ he replied quietly.
‘Yes—yes, of course toi are.’ She eased it into place. ‘We don’t have a full understanding of Romulan syntax—some of their words and names are hard to pronounce—but I’ve modified these translators to allow toi to speak and to be understood conversationally.’
‘Thank you, Nyota.’
Standing nearby, Kirk reacted sharply. Nyota? That was her first name? But how did Spock…?
As he looked on, she proceeded to attach the tiny translator unit to the science officer’s uniform. Then he bent vers l'avant, vers l’avant to whisper something over the buzz of conversation in the transporter staging area, no doubt. There was no doubt when he kissed her, of that much a startled Kirk was completely certain. She put a hand on his chest, letting her fingers drift slowly past the translator unit.
‘Be careful. Come back.’
‘I always endeavor to come back’ he murmured with equal tenderness.
‘Especially when I have something to come back to.’
She stepped clear, turned, and exited the transporter bay. Even at a distance Kirk could see that her eyes were moist.

From his position behind the main transporter controls, Montgomery Scott eyed both officers solemnly, first Kirk then Spock, stepped up on the transporter platform. Turning, they placed their hands behind their backs and positioned themselves in readiness.
Spock’s mind was focused laser-like on the dangerous task on which they were about to embark. Kirk’s was—momentarily distracted.
‘Her first name is…’ He broke off, careful not to stray from the transporter pad on which he stood. ‘How’d toi pull that one off?’
Leveled straight ahead, Spock’s gaze, like his attention, did not wander.
‘I have no commentaire on the matter.’
Kirk just stood on his own pad, grinning at the science officer”.
