Comic transcript:
A digital Star Trek comic. Kirk and Chekov stand in a lift in uniform.
Kirk: Mr Chekov, can I speak to you in Rec Room 6?
Chekov, awkwardly: ? Yes, Keptin
Kirk: Cool
They stand with awkward expressions, with the caption ‘Lift Noises’.
The turbolift dings, the doors open and they exit it, entering Rec Room 6. Kirk sits on a table with a sigh.
Kirk: You know I support you, right?
Chekov stares at Kirk with a question mark over his head. They are both silent.
Kirk: That you’re into men, that is.
Chekov stares at him. Then—
Chekov: Duh?
Kirk: What.
Chekov: You and Mr Spock, Keptin. You are gay.
Kirk stares at him.
Conveniently, the Rec Room’s door opens. Uhura, Sulu and Spock enter. Uhura is mid-sentence.
Uhura: You know, you’re gonna have to teach me that lyre some day, Mr Spock.
Chekov grins.
Chekov: Ah, Mr Spock!
Spock: Greetings, ensign.
Chekov: You and the Keptin. You are gay, yes?
Spock stares. Uhura and Sulu look on expectantly. Spock glares at everyone.
Spock: Yes, we are.
Kirk, still sitting on the desk, is blushing furiously. Nobody says anything. Spock walks out.
Spock: Congratulations on your homosexuality, ensign.
