Communication to Ship's Gallery
We'll be at Risa in two days with some luck. Can you hang on that long? I'll see what I can do but I don't think there's anything we can. We're not designed to feed almost 1500 people. I give you permission to enforce rations if needed.
Mr. Spock
Spock... when you get a chance, I think we need to talk. You up for chess at some point? Probably not the match Jim is but I need to start learning at some point.
George Kirk
...Dad, we need to talk. I want that woman off my damn ship. I don't know how or when she got here and I don't know how I wasn't informed, but... you know how I feel about this.
Bones
Whenever this day ends, however long it takes, I'm gonna come find you no matter where you are on this ship. Promise it. I will have security drag my unconscious ass there if need be.
Captain's Log
The battle over Tethys II was too short, and I would consider it a failure. The Farragut has been lost, completely, destroyed in a warp core containment failure initiated by an attack from a Klingon Warbird of unknown command and design. Sensor information is being processed to find out any information we can. Already damaged by the Farragut, it took little to over power the other vessel, but it was far too late. We evacuated all living personal from the ship, but the toll was heavy. In total, three hundred twenty-seven members of the crew have come onto this ship. Seven died in transport, and a currently unknown dead or dying of their wounds. Only a single member of the commanding crew survived. Gaila deserves a medal and anything else she wants for having held command and control over that ship in such dire circumstances. This log will be updated ... when I've had more sleep.

--The tone has changed from formal to completely exhausted--
I plan to talk to Starfleet as soon as I can about awarding a commendation to Pavel Chekov, Nyota Uhura, and Gaila for everything they did. Fuck. They're all hurt, Pavel's actions probably saved that whole ship, Uhura is a brave, beautiful woman who risked her life to make sure Scotty could lock onto that ship, and Gaila saved everyone she could. They all deserve it.
Trying to figure out if we did all the right things, if we could have done more to save more people, save the ship itself. I know when we get to Risa, no matter what, my crew is getting a fucking week of shore leave.
I'm gonna have to go deal with Admirals and the Board, but as long as everyone gets a chance to relax for a while, I can handle it.
If they give me time, I plan to go spend an entire day curled up in the sand somewhere, work on my tan, and catch up on sleep. I don't care if I get a burn. I just need to be off this ship for a little while. Guess it's something I still need to get used to.
My Mom's on the ship. Don't know how she got here, but I know I don't want her here. Where the hell is the breakdown in information if I'm not being told things like this? From what she said on the bridge... she's here for some official reason. Meaning I'm going to have to deal with her whether I like it or not. Fuck, I don't like it.
I wanna sit down and talk for a while with the other Spock because you know what? I don't understand mine. I don't understand him at all. I had this feeling that we could do so well together as captain and first officer, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm just influenced by Spock Prime's memories. Spock... He's betrayed me.
I plan to go figure the fuck why. Kirk out.
