Human: "We took the second warp core you helped us build and plugged it into the first one, just to see what would happen.... It blew up. But we got to do some pretty cool science in the process!"
Vulcan looking on in pure astonishment
Vulcan: "Fascinating. You were meant to place that in another ship, or study it for improving your own designs."
Human: "yeah, crazy huh... Can we have another?"
Vulcan: arches eyebrow "Very well."
There is a word for when a Vulcan fully understands the meaning of the word "fuck".
I'm starting to think "Fascinating" is the universal translator's attempt at censoring Vulcans.
Its basically what all of them say when what they should probably be saying is "What the actual fuck is wrong with you?"
Sidenote: I absolutely cracked up in the episode of strange new worlds where Spock
SNW SPOILERS AHEAD
is made fully human and when he realizes it he just goes "What the FUCK" but of course it cuts after the "FU-"
In another universe: "Thanks for the warp core, we figured out how to turn it into a Death Star and it really helped save our bacon. Also we put them both in the rusted hulk of some WW2 battleship, best we could do on short notice"
Humans are the real space orcs.
