[Backdated to the weekend, from this log: The angle is perfect hero perspective, looking up at his defiant chin and golden profile. Jim does not seem to care to whom he is speaking.]

Captain's log: What we need is a leader. Someone unafraid to walk into the darkness. Someone willing to stand up to injustice. Someone who can unite the people into one unified force, for goodness and mercy and the rights of every individual.

I'm Captain James Tiberius Kirk, and I'm getting us out of here.

[Your number one fanboy will just be over here clapping. Because that was amazing.]

That was beautiful. You're beautiful. [He laughs.]

You're my favorite person, Captain. If anyone can take us home, it'd be you!

Dude, might even be able to help. Y'know. Build a spaceship. Maybe.

I know. [Jim nods.] That's why I said it. And if you can build a space ship, then you may be just the man I'm looking for.

God, you just couldn't get any cooler.

See, I've got a background in engineering but I've never actually tried to build a spaceship before. But I think I could. In theory. Anything for you, man.

All the principles are the same. And those you don't know? I can help with. I qualified as more than a mere leader of men, you know.

I know, I know, dude. I know.

So, yeah. Let's do this. Let's go build a spaceship and go boldly where no man has gone before.

I mean, it'd be an honor to work with you, Captain.

It's so pleasant to find someone here who has the proper amount of respect for a man of my position. I like that, by the way. "Go boldly." Has a nice ring to it.

Though I think I might change it to "boldly go where no man has gone before." Yes, that's better.

Yeah? What we really need is a little less fuckin' poetry and a little more firepower.

[You know, like Hudson.]

I can't help it. That's just my gift with words. I'm not even trying.

And you underestimate me. I can fight, as well.

And what the fuck happens when you do try, huh? Birds fall from the sky, nubile co-eds throw panties at you?

[Have a disparaging look. Looks like the last thing you wrestled was a buffet, there, hunka burnin' love.]

Right. Officers. Fight. [What army are you in? Oh right, the crazy one.]

Why would I want to kill birds? When I try, birds back me up in beautiful harmony. The panty thing just happens anyway.

And I don't know what you're talking about. Of course I fight. Well. Only when there are no other options. I abhor violence unless it's a last resort. Though when it is... I sure so take a healthy satisfaction in exercising my physical prowess.

Beautiful...harmony?

[WTF. Srsly. W. T. Actual. F.]

And they let you command anything other than the fuckin' Peace Train?

Hey mister. I command the flagship of the United Federation of Planets. I don't know what a Peace Train is, but...

Well maybe it's something like that. I love peace. The idea that Man can rise above his barbaric origins and make the choice not to harm one another. That's what I believe in.

Right, so you're on some sort of mission to spread peace and flowers and harmony across the planets.

[If Hudson eyerolled any harder, his head would fall off.]

And how's that ideal work when you run into bugs, huh?

No, not flowers. That would contaminate the native species of whatever planet we were on. Harmony, though, I can get behind.

Bugs. I... Well of course I try not to kill anything but mosquitoes don't really count, right?

Contaminate. Yeah, right. Not really a concern we have, pal. We 'exterminate'.

[He snickers at his own wit. SO FUNNY.]

...what the fuck kind of pissant aliens you deal with?

Some of my best friends are aliens, buddy. Watch out.

Yeah, pal, your aliens ain't my aliens. Trust me.

[A nervous rub over his sternum. Yeah, still trying hard not to think about that.]

That's hardly any reason for bigotry and hatred.

Bigotry and hatr--what?

You know what calls for fuckin' bigotry? That every time I met a goddam alien it was trying to fuckin' kill me!

[Excuse the classy language, sir.]

Watch your tone with me, young man. People can't respect what you say when you use language like that. It's unfortunate your experiences have been negative, but if peoples would just approach one another with understanding, these things could be avoided. I don't get along with Klingons very well, but I honor our agreements and treaties.

[Just....an open mouthed stare for a moment. Did you just lecture him about his salty language?]

Yeah, okay, sir. Next time I run into some acid-blood having murdermachine, I'll ask it to tea and fingersandwiches. See how that works out.

[Jim beams at him proudly.]

Good man. You see? It can't help having acid for blood. There are all kinds of life in this universe. And... all the other ones. Maybe it just wants to protect its children.

That was some speech. I think I might just have a good old fashioned swoon.

Do you want me to catch you, Kara?

[Have an amused chuckle.]

You already did it once, Captain. Twice might be a little above and beyond the line of duty.

It's not duty I thought we were talking about, Lieutenant.

It's not, sir? [She smirks at him slyly.] So I'm guessing you got hit by the fog too, huh?

Fog? [Jim shakes his head.] I'm immune. It's my iron constitution.

Immune? I don't think so, but you're cute when you're this arrogant.

[Yeah, Starbuck has weird taste in men. She doesn't tend to go for nice, normal, well-adjusted individuals.]

I'm always cute. And I'm not arrogant. I've got a healthy self-perception of my own worth and value.

Quite the sentiment. I applaud your... drive, but it does leave the question as to how.

[Jim stares at him like he has questioned his authority.]

What do you mean? I said I'd do it, and I will. What difference does it make?

Some methods are more effective than others. Merely curious as to yours, of course.

I'll do what I always do. [Jim grins confidently.] I'll wing it.
