And what of me, my Lord?
And Runa?
Give Mommy kisses.
Mm.
Runa, do you wanna say, or should I?
Okay, I'll do it.
So during quarantine, I decided to
start up a social media account for Runa.
I started, you know, creating this character for her
that she wants to be in Star Trek.
She wants to get an audition for Star Trek.
She'd done a little short film in London before this.
In makeup one day, somebody said,
"Why don't you ask if she could be in it?"
I was like, "Yeah, well, yeah.
Yeah, why don't I just ask?"
Absolutely.
Good plan.
Fantastic.
So I said to Chris Fisher, our Producer-Director,
and I was like, "What do you reckon the likelihood is
that they'd put Runa in the fantasy episode?"
'Cause I mean, anything goes, right? In the fantasy episode.
Sure.
And he was like, "I'll pitch it.
I'll pitch it to Henry."
And I was like, "Yeah, right.
He's not gonna pitch it to Henry."
You know, anyway, couple days later I'm
on set and he's like, "Oh yeah, I pitched it to Henry."
I was like, "What?
Really?"
And he was like, "Yeah, yeah, sounds good.
He's gonna see if he can make it work."
[La'an gasps]
The fantasy episode was my favorite episode
of the whole entire show because who gets to
play a fantasy princess,
the childhood dream princess dress,
which is sparkly and glittery and twirls,
and gets to have her little dog in it,
in her own little princess costume?
That was just a dream.
[La'an squeals in delight]
It was so fun to do those fittings.
It was my first dog costume, but I hope it's not my last.
This skirt is six feet across.
It's been ombre'd, so Anna in the atelier,
she did this beautiful blue color.
All of these flowers have been 3D-printed and chromed.
So that's why these beautiful, reflective colors
are being shown through.
Matching dress.
So cute.
I can't even deal with it.
You know what?
In TOS, there was this scene
where they dressed up a dog as an alien.
It had a unicorn horn.
And we were gonna do that, but we'll save that
for another episode.
Oh, that's disappointing.
We were playing these new characters.
So I was -- we were all kind of like secretly hoping
for some feedback from the Director.
So then Amanda comes up to me and I was like,
oh, it's here, it's coming.
She comes up to me, she goes, "Oh, Christina.
I just wanted to come over and compliment Runa.
She's doing so well!"
And I was like, "Mm-hmm, great.
Mm hmm." [laughs]
My Princess Runa applauds you.
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.
