“Spock turns back to the small transponder in his hands, the one that is supposedly next to indestructible. It's currently in three pieces.
"Nice one," Jim drawls. "What happened?"
"Disruptor fire coupled with an impact of approximately nine hundred and eighty newtons caused the shatterproof casing to...shatter."
"How'd you get hit with something weighing one hundred kilograms? I don't remember seeing that." Jim is slightly awestruck. "And why aren't you, you know, crushed?"
"I was not struck by any external force," Spock explains, placing the inner components of the device carefully on the bordered workspace before him. "Vulcan physiology has a higher density than that of humans. It was my own mass that caused the damage to the transponder."
A slow grin spreads across Jim's face. "You fell on your transponder?"
"I did not fall," Spock shoots him a vaguely irritated look. "I believe I mentioned that armed Romulans were involved."
Jim smiles to himself, because the pissiness is Spock's way of relaxing the strict politeness between them. "Uh-huh."
"Pass the hydraulic aspirator.”

“Taking de Polignac's Conjecture, does that make you guys twin primes?" Jim can't resist, knowing that Spock will get the reference instantly, and know what he means to imply; that Spock is no less important, mathematically or otherwise.
Spock gives him the look that Jim privately refers to as the 'well done human, you have exceeded expectations' look. "If we can focus on the preparation of our report?" he says instead.
Jim nods, kind of glad when Spock continues his narrative, because he has the sneaking suspicion he just flirted. Using mathematics. And that it worked.”
