Summary
“Why wouldn’t they hire translators?” asks M’Benga.
“Because they always assumed that starbases would have enough of a bilingual population that it wouldn’t matter,” says Nyota. She raises her eyebrows. “Because everyone speaks Federation Standard, don’t they?”
Pike and Una exchange a look. Pike asks, “What would you suggest we do, Ensign?”
Nyota shrugs. “What we can do,” she says. “Be the translators ourselves.”

Summary
“Spock,” he begins.
“Yes, Jim?”
“What does Ashaya mean?” he asks.
In this moment; he would lie to him. But he doesn’t. “Beloved.” Spock says.
After an impromptu shore leave ends with the crew and Spock and Jim captured by natives and tortured, its leads to another leave with more promises of forgetting the first one; and new beginnings as well. But there is one thing that Haunts Jim more than the torture; but a single word shouted out from Spock; Ashaya.

Summary
From a challenge issued on social media, 30 days of Prodigy-related prompts.
Each chapter title will be the prompt for that day.
I've never written for most of these characters before... should be fun!
Rapid fire one-shots, so no beta and very little proof-reading. Come to think of it, kinda feels like the Captain Dal way to do things anyway ;)
