I don't think these things are malfunctioning at all but if it's just an excuse to roll call, then I'm Captain James T. Kirk. My friends call me Jim.

[He tips the communicator to the side, and there's Spock. Looking stoic as always.]

And that's Spock. Don't worry kids, he always looks like that. He won't bite.

I am not really sure what yet, sir.

The Enterprise is safe though.

You're sure?

Positive.

Then tell me about this barge.

It's a prison ship, sir, for the criminally and morally damned.

And what's your role on there?

To rehabilitate a criminal.

That's not an easy thing, Jim.

When have you ever known me to do something easy?

I mean it's not trivial. Taking responsibility, completely, for another human being.

With all due respect, sir, I'm responsible for hundreds of lives on board my ship. I've got this.

The forest and the trees are not the same.

I didn't know you were so philosophical.

An unfortunate tendency.

So, tell me about your project.

I-- don't have one.

...what are you doing, then? Day-to-day.

Working on that thesis paper I never finished?

Is that a clever way of saying 'playing paintball'?

Doing both, sir.

Good to know your style of multitasking persists to alternate dimensions.

I'll take that as a compliment, sir.

If you get in any rough spots, err on the side of what Spock would do.

You sound like you don't have faith in me.

If I didn't, you wouldn't have my ship.

Do good, Jim. And tell me all about it when you get back.

You bet.
