[ Video ] Man Overboard

[universal_charm]

Who: Jim Kirk
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On the Tourist
When: Today/Now

<sub>[ When Kirk's image comes on the screen, he isn't his usual, happy, confident self. His face is more serious, seeming withdrawn and there is a tenseness in his jaw, as if he were grinding his teeth. He is silent for several seconds, looking as if he is gathering words, wondering how much to say.

Finally - ]</sub>

I had hoped the reality would be different, but there's no denying it anymore.

For those who knew him and cared about him, or even if you didn't I suppose, Remy Lebeau has returned to home. I'm sorry to add to what seems like a stream of bad news.

<sub>[ The feed will cut shortly after that because what else is there to be said?

If you come around the Tourist, though, one can find Kirk in the gym, working up a sweat, practicing self-defense or running. He wasn't one to drink when upset - he was one to work until there wasn't enough energy to think anymore. ]</sub>

Maybe so, but it makes it no easier. [ He murmurs softly ] Do you wish company?

If you think you can bear me. I can't say I'm in the best mind set to be a good host.

Sometimes, a person just needs company, I think. I will bring a drink, if you like?

Sure, that would be fine. You know your way around the Tourist, right? I'll be in my cabin.

I think so, yes. I will see you shortly.

[ And he will, with a bottle of decent (non-glowing) wine ]

Captain Kirk?
