I had the privilege of being in Washington DC while the Smithsonian was celebrating the 25th anniversary of Star Trek.

Exhibits featured an interview with Nichols explaining how her character got on to the bridge. The light in her eyes as she explained that Roddenberry converted a political loss with executives into a victory. They were feeling magnanimous and agree afterwards when said he wanted to make a minor change to the bridge to add a little color to it.
