Captain's Log: Stardate 2258.94; Captain James T. Kirk

Some of this is ridiculous.

I just returned from saving the world, and they feel it necessary to make me go through seminars in order to prepare myself for the worst. Didn't I just handle the worst? I can hardly think of a worse scenario... nothing they can teach anyone can prepare for that kind of thing

Captain, the Enterprise is currently docked in the safest location possible, therefor needing little 'taking care of'. I am, however, attempting to see to the well being of what crew remain aboard as we prepare to embark on our mission.

[jimtiberiuskirk]

You can call me Jim y'know. Whatever. That's good. I'm certain you'll keep them on their toes.

[il_logic]

On their toes, Captain?

[jimtiberiuskirk]

I don't know...you know, keep them productive and keep them from doing stupid things.

[il_logic]

Indeed. It is a necessary function of a commanding officer. Perhaps you might take my lead?

[jimtiberiuskirk]

What, and order everyone around?

That is what I've got you for, isn't it?

[il_logic]

The Captain should lead by example, and not through threats from his First Officer. I do not wish to become the 'Bad Guy' as I have heard it called.

[jimtiberiuskirk]

But you're so good at it.

[il_logic]

My aptitude is not the point.

[jimtiberiuskirk]

What was your point, then? Must have missed it.

[il_logic]

That I prefer not to be the bad-guy, Captain.

[jimtiberiuskirk]

Well then -- can't you just...tell them the orders came from me? Then I'll be the bad guy, and you can just be my evil sidekick.

[il_logic]

That is....acceptable.

But I am not your sidekick, Captain. I am your First Officer. I assure you there is a difference.

[jimtiberiuskirk]

Yeah, yeah -- but bad guys need sidekicks.

Considering I'm not really a bad guy, and neither are you, we have nothing to worry about, Commander Spock.

[il_logic]

If you say so, Captain.
