Spock: I need everyone to continue performing admirably.
Uhura: Okay, then. I need, oh, an engineer, a machinist, and someone who's good with microcircuitry.
Spock: *eyebrow*
Uhura: Look, we've seen that beam, and we have the frequency. We know that besides working as a drill, it takes out communication and transporters. We have to assume they'll use it again, so it makes sense to see if we can put together a communication device that works some other way, at least for short messages or location, because with no communications, I can't perform admirably. Based on magnets, maybe. That's why I need an engineer.
Spock: ...First, I believe you've just demonstrated you can. Second, Mr Riley's area of expertise is alternate navigational systems which might be modified. Perhaps he and Mr Kyle--transporter systems--could assist you.
Uhura: Riley's a little flighty.
Spock: I am certain you will keep him in line. *meaningful eyebrow*
*helps*
