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. ]

And here, are you on the Tourist?

[ He usually keeps pretty tight to Kirk's room when he is on the Tourist, but he notices things. And he'd always wondered a little why McCoy stayed on the Caprine. ]
How different is it, here from where you come?
video;
[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.
video;
[ Not something he would choose himself, but that has to do with a lot of complicating factors, like the fact that he's sometimes sleeping with Kirk and doesn't want to be in that position with someone in a position of a power. ]
Do you have more purpose where you come from?
video;
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.
video;
[ The comment surprises Kai, since he wouldn't describe his own time here as very long. Then again... humans. ]
video;
...I have been rude, I'm sorry. My name is Pavel Andreievich Chekov.
video;
[ For these circumstances. ]
I'm Kai Gracen.
video;
It's good to meet you, Kai Gracen. I wish that the circumstances were happier.
video;
[ After a second thought, Kai switches to private. ]
Take care of Jim.
private video;
I will try, but I think that that's a task for multiple people.
private video;
I can't be one of them.
private video;
[Not challenging or incredulous, just curious.]
private video;
[ Not like that, anyway. ]

private video;
[ Better not to make this an argument, Kai knows. ]
