"Speaking of, I think it's best we keep this whole Nexus thing just between us for a while," Jim tells his crew. "I'll try to find a good time to let Sulu and Chekov in on it, but I don't think we should tell anyone else. Except maybe Scotty. There's no way he's part of Thirty-One."
"Why would you not inform him of this now?" Spock questions.
"He's got enough to worry about with the Enterprise repairs," Jim says, shaking his head slightly. "I don't want him getting too sidetracked. Besides, it'd be tempting to try to integrate Nexus tech with the ship, and that's a can of worms I don't want to even think about opening."
Spock gives him a puzzled look, clearly wondering why one would can worms, or what effects opening that can would have. "I'll explain later," Uhura murmurs to him.
