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 didn't really have a choice.

Please clarify your meaning.

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

[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.

[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.

[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.]

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.

True, but it was only through that experience that I was able to fully grasp a deeper purpose. I believe the same is true in this case. If I can prove she is not as emotionless as she claims to be, it will only serve to propel her towards graduation.

[captain_jtkirk]

[That's close enough to being told that he was right to insult Spock's feelings about his mother.]

Is that really what she needs to graduate?

[Spam]

[logistical]

[More that Spock doesn't hold that grudge.]

I believe so.

[captain_jtkirk]

[You robot.]

Well. If I get to know her, I'll... try to help you out.

[Spam]

[logistical]

Your assistance is appreciated, Captain. Should you do so, I would request that you inform me beforehand.

[So if she gets into a situation where she tries to strangle him to death, at least Spock can stop her :'|]

[Spam]

[captain_jtkirk]

[He could take Aya. Come on.]

Anything else you needed help with, Spock?

[Spam]

[logistical]

No, Captain, my business is concluded.

[Unless you have something you want to share with the class, Jim...]
