Rewatched all of Number One/Enterprises scenes. Googled a lot too. It’s really annoying that we don’t have a full name for Number One. It’s Commander Una ??? and I need to know for reasons.

Read a fanfic yesterday and it had this paragraph which I thought was a perfect summary. Pike does something stupid and noble and then she calls in favours to clean up whatever mess he made before the Star Fleet brass find out.

It was a ship fic and I don’t know if I ship them. I maybe could? But thus far I have just seen a deep warm friendship with a lot of respect. I know the 60’s pilot had Number One supposedly crushing on Pike but they have changed stuff since then (like the entire makeup of the bridge crew) and so I don’t think they are necessarily sticking rigidly to it. I mean there is a line between canon and simply not contradicting it because maybe the bridge crew simply changed due to transfers since Talos IV. So maybe with all the mindgames it wasn’t true, or maybe it was but not in a “I want to marry you” way, more of “you are the person I see the most so it’s situational” (I think there’s a word for that?).

Anyway I wish she had a full name despite me absolutely loving how snarky she was in the debriefing. “Name and rank?” “Number One” hehe and with such a “are we done yet?” about it. Google did suggest her name was Robbins but it also gave several alternate first names so /shrug until they tell us for sure it’s ???
