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.

Affirmative, sir.

[He's almost insulted you think he'd abandon his duties aboard the Enterprise willy nilly!!]

[ It's not you, Spock. It's Kirk.

At this, though, he relaxes. ]

I expect a hell of a report.

I am drafting one as we speak, sir.

I'm sure it'll be good reading.

How are you? How is Kirk?

We are both [unharmed] well.

Are you... like him - taking responsibility for someone else's rehabilitation?

I am.

That's not trivial, Spock. I hope this wasn't a whim.

[ A whim of Kirk's. ]

I assure you, sir, it was not.

[Little known fact about Spock: sometimes he has whims and they just happen to align with Kirk's 8D]

Then why are you there?

I have been offered the continued safety of the ship and crew as my wages, should I succeed in aiding an unbalanced mind in functioning logically.

That sounds like a load of horseshit.

I have conducted an investigation and our employer does not withhold wages.

[he's almost insulted you think he didn't think this through!!]

I trust you, Spock. It's just a little hard to wrap my head around.

Indeed. Some of the phenomena I have encountered on board fall into that category.

Such as?

Recently, many of the passengers spontaneously participated in an activity known as paintball.

...doesn't sound that mind-boggling.

They did not appear to follow a common set of rules.

[there that's what's mind-boggling]

...were they just having fun?

[A long pause.]

That... may have been the case.

[ lol Spock ]

And you rate this as more bewildering than an interdimensional prison with an omnipotent keeper?

[oops]

I have no comment upon the matter.

[bewildering = feelings and he doesn't do those ok? ok.]

Sounds like a decent time.

Tell me about your inmate.

I have been assigned to an artificial intelligence that is evolving into an emotional being.
