[Jim might be talking a little too loudly on this broadcast, but he doesn't- well actually notice. he's not using video because he's still in medical because some people haven't let him leave yet.

probably because he only just woke up about an hour or two ago. maybe if he hadn't been quite so reckless he wouldn't be in this situation. it's honestly thanks to a quick response and the advanced medical facilities that he didn't go completely deaf.

still, there's something oddly... cocky about the way he speaks. a little more brash than he normally is.]

Jim Kirk here.

Anyone new to the ship, welcome aboard, though I wish we could've met under better circumstances. The earlier broadcast you all might have noticed was from our anonymous friend known as Smiley. Needless to say, it isn't the most helpful entity on board. [which is probably the most aggressive thing he's ever said on the network about the thing. gee, Kirk, you sure are acting a little off.]

If you haven't done it already, I suggest going over the compiled FAQ. Your comms device has a text to voice option if you're unable to read it. I'm willing to answer questions if you have them.

[then there's a shift in his tone, a weight to his voice that sounds a little frustrated; another of his good staff gone.]

Also, John Watson of the first wave is no longer with us.

Kirk out.

Why are you shouting?

[ Or close enough to shouting. ]

It assumes there are those of us who can even use this "text to voice" option. These communicators are so fragile.

[ Shale can read, she just can't do much on her comm without thinking it's going to snap into little pieces. Hence the video. ]

I'm not.

[you kind of practically are jim]

Yes you are.

[ If they start arguing over this I am just going to throw my hands up in the air. ]

[Jim's mouth quirks; he can see where this issue would come in.]

I think they're pretty sturdy. You haven't broke it yet, have you?

I have not attempted to do more with it than respond or "post".

They are also quite... small.

..Captain, are you alright? You're..talking rather loudly.

[ Tense, much, but-- ]

Who the hell is running medical, then?

There is another John Watson present that wll be able to take over medical
duties, as I'm sure you're aware.

Also congratulations on your near-loss of hearing. I'm sure your eardrums
must appreciate the abuse you've apparently put them through.

Yeah, I've got a question. Might sound kind of weird, but I was missing a passenger when I showed up here. You know if there's a new AI in the main computer bank, or...y'know, something like that?

[ he's not keen on asking for help, but Delta's absence is wearing on him pretty heavily, and the FAQ was no help when he'd finally resorted to reading it. ]

Good god, what steps need to be taken to stop you lot from multiplying?

[ u g h he better not have to bring steak to Moriarty ever again thanks to John. Moriarty didn't bring steak to him when his face was bruised. :( ]

[ but if action is not actually okay you know, just say the word and I can change that. ]

Really ought to work on how much time you spend in one of the beds. I think I've only ever met you in here or at the lockers.

[ Don't do crazy stuff and folks in medbay won't come to a consensus on keeping you here jeez. ]

[he almost says why would i be shouting but stops himself. instead, he tries to lower his voice. it comes down to almost the regular level, even if he feels like he's whispering.]

Well I didn't mean to.

I can see why that'd be a problem.

[he's brought his voice down to what sounds to him like a whisper, but is more regular speaking level.]

Sorry about that. I'm fine.

I think they're discussing that.

I'm sure he loves that you're volunteering him.

Thank you. I always knew you cared.

What do you mean? They were here before?

Maybe I like it in here.

[he shoots back without missing a beat, but there's nothing snide in his tone. just a sort of playfulness.

mostly, he wouldn't know what to do if someone wasn't harping on him.]

Something wrong with your hearing?

[ because really ]

...Did you damage your ears?

[and he's going to say that at low volume, just to test this theory.]

Volume control, sir.

[ wow you did something dumb recently huh sulu is vaguely intrigued. ]

Yes. Flesh creatures, of course, did not have anything else in mind when they designed these.

No, sorry...I didn't make that very clear, did I? I have a neural port that had an AI installed in it before I was brought here. Now he's gone. I was hoping...

[ but it's starting to look like more and more of a lost cause. ]

If that's the case, I'm withdrawing my statement. You're right where you should be. [ He shakes his head. ] Always a shame to see a good Captain fall to stress.
