Video

Who: Kai and Open
Broadcast: Yes
Action: The Caprine
When: Now

I’m sure everyone already saw Kirk’s post and knows that Leonard McCoy is gone. That means the Caprine currently doesn’t have a Captain, and as her first officer…I want to ask if anyone else is willing to step in as Captain. I am decidedly not up to the job.

[ He doesn’t care how little actual work being Captain seems to be. He doesn’t want it. ]

I do think first preference should go to anyone on the Caprine who wants it, but after that, anything goes.

[ A pause, like maybe that’s all he has to say, before Kai adds one more thing, voice softer. ]

Also, if anyone wants to come over, drink, and share McCoy stories, please join me this evening, on the Caprine.

[ They still have sufficient alcohol, and it seems as fitting an action as anything else Kai can think of. ]

Aha. Then maybe you understand why I would want to be on his ship.

[Kirk does inspire loyalty, and Chekov would follow him to any ship in the Fleet. Why McCoy chose to stay on the Caprine will forever be a mystery to him.]

The only similarity is that we are in space and on ships. Everything else... entirely different.

[Not sleeping with your superiors is a nice way to avoid complications for sure!]

Yes, of course--or I did. I have spent a very long time away from home and am less certain about such things than I used to be.

I'm not certain. Three years, maybe four.

...I have been rude, I'm sorry. My name is Pavel Andreievich Chekov.

Relatively. It has felt like a long time.

It's good to meet you, Kai Gracen. I wish that the circumstances were happier.

[It sounds kind of like Kai knows Kirk more than a little.]

I will try, but I think that that's a task for multiple people.

Why not?

[Not challenging or incredulous, just curious.]

You know him a little. A little is enough.
