[ York's just a little less relaxed and personable than he normally is when the feed clicks on, though he's leaning back in his chair like he usually does, letting it tilt as he holds the device up in front of him. The shuttle hijacking attempt was his first taste of things being as off as everyone had been claiming, but now with the recent deaths he's taking this even more seriously. He starts speaking as though in the middle of a conversation already with his viewers. ]

So I know there's lots of opportunity for R & R on this ship, but I gotta tell you up front I've been thinking about this for a while now, okay. And in light of recent events I think it might be a better idea than I even realized.

Now, I'm just sending out feelers here, but I'm skilled in hand-to-hand fighting and I'm sure there're others of you here, like me, who'd like to practice that more. Maybe even see if there's something we can learn from one another. So if you're interested in doing some sparring, let me know, and if I get enough response maybe we'll make a thing out of it.

Just so you guys know, anybody on the team who's interested has first dibs on lessons, if you want 'em.

You want to see if we can get a bottle of something and stay in tonight?

[Ugh]

Fine. Then I'll see you there. But I will be examining your skills to see if you will be fit to teach.

[ That's even more amusing to him and he chuckles again. It's not like the guy has any way of enforcing something like that. ]

I'll watch out for my letter from the licensing board after your visit.

[jurisimpudent]

[Impatiently:]

Because I'll be evaluating whether we can use you full-time in Security.

[ Now, there's an issue with that. York had dismissed SEC pretty much from day one. He'd already had enough run-ins with corrupt authority to last him a lifetime and he didn't want to have to take on the role of white knight again.

Besides, he liked working on the shuttles. ]

Hey man, I'm in a department. And I already volunteer in my spare time.

[jurisimpudent]

Just because you're in one doesn't mean you can't help another. And you've volunteered to do this; this would just be a formalization of the same.

[logicunlocked]

Like I said, this is more for recreation on my part. I like my schedule the way it is. Thanks for the offer, though.

[jurisimpudent]

Would you wish some sort of compensation?

[logicunlocked]

Dude, really, I don't know how to make this any more clear. I'm just not interested, okay? I mean, don't get me wrong, I appreciate the offer.

[jurisimpudent]

Why?

[logicunlocked]

Let's just say I'm out of practice.

[ And would prefer to keep it that way, obviously. ]

[jurisimpudent]

Yet after a few sessions of this, you'll be back in practice.

[logicunlocked]

At fighting, yeah, but I wasn't talking about that.

[jurisimpudent]

You were talking about training to fight. So was I.

[logicunlocked]

Heh, I thought you were talking about joining SEC. Well, you're free to come to the sparring matches and observe. Whatever you'd like.

[jurisimpudent]

Fine. I will.
