[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.

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!

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.
