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.

I can show you around. What kind of research?

[captain_jtkirk]

It's part of my thesis.

[inhistorybooks]

What's the rest of it?

[captain_jtkirk]

I think that a commanding officer won't be truly successful unless he or she knows as much, if not more, about how the mechanics of their ship as they do about the inter workings of the crew.

NOT HERE

[This is an acceptable hobby, Captain, but if Spock expressed his approval you would likely backpedal out of it. Promise to share your results tho!! 8D]

[inhistorybooks]

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

[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.

Trip, uh, I'm pretty sure that's the warden that took over the ship. ...Before the other warden that took over the ship.

[inhistorybooks]

Seriously?

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

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

Do you know why he did it?

[Private]

[itstopped]

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

Private

[breakingmyheart]

He disappeared five days ago, has it taken you this long to notice?

[Simmer down, Tosh.]

Sorry, I --

Sorry.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

That's not it.

I didn't want to announce it during a flood.

Private

[breakingmyheart]

No. Of course, that - that makes sense.

I'm sorry.

Again.

[A pause.]

I know it's not my business, but can I ask something?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

It's fine, really.

Ask away.

Private

[breakingmyheart]

What happened to Derek before he came here...was there any chance that he's gone home? That he isn't just...

[You know. Dead.]

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I wish I knew.

[Spam] fight me

[A few hours after this message, there is a knock on the door.]

Captain.

[Spam] /fisticuffs!

[captain_jtkirk]

[Is it weird that he knew it was you before you said anything? You have a specific knock, Spock.

Anyway. He goes to answer the door, nodding slightly at his XO.]

Spock.

[Spam] nerve pinch~

[logistical]

[Spock nods in return.]

I have a request.

[Spam] cheater!!!

[captain_jtkirk]

Shoot.

[Spam] learnt it from you tbqh

[logistical]

I am curious as to how you emotionally compromise someone.

[mightymorbid]

...I hope he didn't just go back to being dead, and I mean that.

[captain_jtkirk]

Me too.
