I'm not sure really, how many friends he might have had here but if you knew him, Derek Hale has left.

[Kirk thinks this has to be a record of how fast a person has been assigned an Inmate and then lost them but anyway.]

Who would I have to suck up to to get a look inside the engine room here? Totally innocent, I promise, I won't touch a thing. It's all for research.

Shoot.

[Spam] learnt it from you tbqh

I am curious as to how you emotionally compromise someone.

Hi.

[She gives him a small, slightly tense smile and steps away from the door to let him get at it.]

After you.

[Spam] you're growing up so well :3

[captain_jtkirk]

[... the fuck?]

Are you asking because I seem to have a natural talent at it? Or are you looking to punch me again?

[Spam] shhh

[logistical]

This is regarding my assigned inmate. I have reason to believe she is not as unemotional as she claims - her logic is flawed in several areas. However, I am uncertain how to trigger a reaction.

[So.. he came to the expert. It's extremely difficult for him to admit that he doesn't know everything about how to do this... wardening thing or whatever, but that's what the Captain's for. To help. To cover for his weaknesses.]

[Kirk actually looks uncomfortable. Because you know, he's not actually a big enough dick to have said all those things on his own, and he never would have said them if the other Spock hadn't told him to.

Not being able to really goad your Inmate is probably not a weakness either, Spock.]

It's not really that simple, Spock.

[This is an arched eyebrow.]

Then, please, enlighten me.

I didn't really have a choice.

[Jim waves his communicator at the door almost absentmindedly.]

Do you... know Derek really well?

[breakingmyheart]

Not really well. He wasn't even here for two months before he disappeared, and both of us were in comas for some of that time. If he'd been here longer...

[She shakes her head.]

It doesn't matter. I just hope he's alright.

[Spam]

[logistical]

Please clarify your meaning.

[He is frowning, slightly.]

[inhistorybooks]

Pretty good theory. You planning any hostile takeovers? Because apparently, you've kinda got a history of it.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

Seriously?

[captain_jtkirk]

Do I?

[He's playing stupid. He's read his previous entries by now. But. No memory of it so it doesn't count.]

I wasn't planning on any takeovers.

[Spam]

[captain_jtkirk]

When I... goaded you. I wasn't just being a dick. Your-- the other Spock told me to do it.

[Spam]

[logistical]

[Which is how he knew to target a sensitive topic. Spock does not hold it against either Jim or Spock Prime. He is aware of the reasoning behind it.]

In order that we might form a suitable working relationship. I understand. [A pause.] However, I am unsuited to.. goading my inmate.

I was only here for Toshiko Sato, but when we were dealing with that, the name Kirk came up pretty frequently.

[Spam]

[captain_jtkirk]

[Kirk didn't really expect to be punched again for it but he's got to say that he's a little... bewildered by Spock's reaction. Let down maybe? Not used to dealing with someone who deals with things logically and without emotions?]

I don't think I'm going to be any better at it, I don't know her.

[Spam]

[logistical]

[Spock does want to punch Kirk a lot, he just lets Bones do the ragging. Because he's more efficient and more efficient. Absolutely not because it's fun to watch.]

Thank you, Captain. I shall attempt to seek alternatives.

[He feels slightly better knowing even Kirk can't do this.]

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

Do you know why he did it?

[inhistorybooks]

I'm real sorry about this, Kirk, but I'm probably gonna have to talk it over with people before we can give you access considering all that.

I'm assuming for the same reasons anyone takes over the Barge. [Or a Battlestar.]

[Spam]

[captain_jtkirk]

Do you really think it's the best idea? Trying to force her to show feeling? You didn't handle it well, from what I remember.

[captain_jtkirk]

You're serious.

Spam

[captain_jtkirk]

Me too.

[He gestures for her to head in before him.]

So what have you been up to, besides possibly a coma?
