Anyone want to get a drink?

[Private to Sulu + Shego ; separately]

Can I talk to you?

Tell him to stop being a prat. Better yet, give him an order. [Though he'd probably have refused that, in his navy days. But whatever, maybe pointy eared aliens take orders more seriously.]

[Kirk smiles thinly, and it doesn't quite reach his eyes yet. Spock would tell him if he ordered him to. But that would involve talking to Spock which he doesn't want to, and he doesn't want to bring their relationship to that. He wants his crew to trust him without him pulling the trump card.]

Or I could just leave and go take care of it myself.

Planning on it?

[Kirk laughs at little, mostly at himself, hard and bitter.]

No idea.

I think you've got yourself an answer, Captain.

[jfc dude, go kill a man. Bond is almost always in favor of that.]
