[Jim's propped up in a dingy hospital room, looking worse for wear but better than he has been. Not that anyone's seen him since the attack. (ooc: Yes, I'm handwaving that he threw himself into protecting others, and was injured.)]

My apologies to those I made arrangements with earlier and failed to follow through on. My special apologies to those hurt in the attack. I... underestimated their firepower.

[Yes, he's been out of commission since then, in a coma and healing.]

I'd like to know if we've learned anything else about why it happened. And I want to throw my efforts back into the plans to organize. Commander Shepard, Colonel Telford, I know you've been attempting this. Any progress? Any use for a man with leadership and combat experience? [He smiles wryly.] My recent performance notwithstanding.


[private to River Tam]

Miss Tam, your broadcast of several days ago concerns me. Are you there?

Kirk, right? Didn't see you when I was in there. Was kinda out of it at the time, though.

So, what happened? You get winged?

That's right, Thrace. I don't blame you--I had a nasty bump on the head along with some burns, so I wasn't really in touch either. You too?

Managed to stay in one piece when the raid happened, but after that, I ran into some trouble.

[She's not really going to elaborate on that.]

You need anything? Hate hospitals, myself.

Nah, I'm getting out of here ASAP. But thanks. Glad you see you made it through.

Likewise, captain.

[Kara doesn't trust easily, but there's something about the guy that rings genuine.]
