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'm not planning on spending my whole day down there. But if something goes wrong, I should know at least what it is, if not how to fix it.

[She smiles faintly.]

That's admirable, honestly. I always tried to know a little bit about what all my colleagues did. Not - that I was running the show, I just felt safer that way.

[And that also meant she could go to London and do an alien autopsy when a particular colleague was too hungover to move.]

If you ever find yourself in need of a job after this, I've got room on Enterprise.

That's kind of you, but I think 'this' is going to take a while.

[And she assumes that if you knew her you wouldn't want her. :c]

You - you do know I'm an Inmate, don't you?

Yeah. Doesn't change the offer.

Well, that's...very generous. [She smiles, tight and self-effacing.] Though I can't help but hope you hold the rest of your employees to higher standards.

Did I ever tell you how I enlisted?

I -- I don't think so, no.

I believe Pike called me a 'genius level repeat offender' in his speech. Somebody has to give all of us a chance first.

Maybe two or three, depending on who you are.

[She sips her drink.]

But seriously. Thank you.
