Ok - I know that some of you lovely people have seen Star Trek more times than I have (I'm looking at you, [livejournal.com profile] simons_flower ::g::) - so I need a questioned answered.

In the scene where they're all in the hangar bay getting their assignments, we see Gaila and Uhura together, hear Uhura's assignment, and then she says goodbye to Gaila and goes to find Spock and "correct" things. First, do we hear anything about which ship Gaila was assigned to? and second, other than the fact that we don't see her in the rest of the movie, is there anything to suggest that she *wasn't* assigned to the Enterprise?

No. To the best of my recollection, we hear nothing of Gaila's ship assignment. I'm not sure if it's mentioned in the novelization.

*adjusts halo* Six times isn't that many!

Heh. I'm incredibly saddened to report that I've only seen it twice. :( But going to see it again would mean going into Nashville, and that's kind of a pain in the ass. (Also, expensive, and I need to save up so I can go see all the other movies I mean to see this summer.)

Thank you for the fact-check, though. :) I'm determined that Gaila survived, and will be alive and well in my fic. I just need to make it plausible. ;)

In the fanon, from what I've seen, there are two diverging takes on this: One, that Gaila was assigned to the Farragut, and consequently died, or Two, OF COURSE GAILA WAS ON THE ENTERPRISE. OF COURSE SHE LIVED. LALALALALALA. I really don't think the movie gives us much implication one way or the other...so I prefer the CAPSLOCK option. Because my first piece of fic (ever! ever!) needed both Uhura and Gaila for maximum awesome.

I want to say that I actually SAW Gaila on the Enterprise... but I may be making that up. CAPSLOCK option FTW!

Actually, I think I'm going to go with something other than the capslock option, but I will be keeping her alive. I like her friends-with-benefits 'ship with Kirk too much not to keep her.

Btw, this (http://trek-anon.livejournal.com/1177.html?thread=16537) is how I became a kirk/gaila 'shipper.

Where is this fic? Hmm? Wanna see!

I became a rabid Kirk/Gaila shipper in two seconds flat thanks to this fic (http://trek-anon.livejournal.com/1177.html?thread=16537). LOVE her. Have you seen the [livejournal.com profile] teamgaila?

They Don't say what ship she's one I looped that part four times to make sure. Besides we all know how Pike likes to collect the nondrone types.
