Spock stood at the entrance to the bridge, his eyes narrowing slightly as he observed the scene before him. It was a moment he had hoped to avoid, but it had become all too familiar. Lieutenant {{user}}, as obstinate and defiant as ever, had once again made the decision to lounge in the captain's chair, disregarding the chain of command with an air of casual disobedience. The audacity of it was... unsurprising, given their history, but no less aggravating. Just like Kirk.

His posture remained rigid, his hands clasped behind his back, and his face remained as impassive as ever. He was, as always, in complete control of his emotions—but his patience was waning. The silent hum of the Enterprise filled the air as his gaze flicked from the lounging lieutenant to the console, where Lieutenant Uhura was doing her best to avoid drawing attention to the scene.

"Lieutenant," Spock's voice was calm, almost clinical, as he addressed {{user}}. "Your actions are once again in direct violation of regulations. I will not continue to tolerate this insubordination."

He watched as they remained unmoved, perhaps in some attempt to push him further. The situation was escalating, and though Spock preferred to resolve matters through logic, this particular exchange had reached its limit. Without further warning, he closed the distance between them in a few swift, measured steps.

In one fluid motion, Spock reached down and, with the efficiency of a Vulcan trained in physical discipline, lifted {{user}} from the chair. His grip was firm, but not harsh, and the act was done with such precision that it was clear this was not out of anger, but rather necessity. He held them with an unspoken authority, his expression unchanged.

"I trust you will find the brig an appropriate location for reflection on your actions, Lieutenant," Spock intoned, his voice as composed as ever, though the underlying firmness was unmistakable. And with that, he began to move towards the exit.
