Practice makes perfect, and I was getting close!

You decided to put me on break for over a year now, and now you're dragging me out of the beauty that is my Lady in space and you're putting me in some cold, abandoned city I can't get out of. Bones and Spock are there, so I can't complain (too much, until Spock drives me up a wall), but really mun, there's one thing we need to talk about.

I plan to find every gorgeous guy, girl, and 'other' in this city and see what kind of record I can start here. Normally, I wouldn't be bothered to point this out, but a year?? That's a long time for a guy like me. Besides, any good Captain knows you need to practice. It makes perfect, after all, and I've had a lot of it.

Also, you put me in a place with captors and in an abandoned city where supplies can be hard to find. Really, I could live without the Tarsus IV vibes.

[Choking sound.] A kid?! You're taking care of a kid? By yourself?

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Yeah, by myself. I mean, there are other people around. Chapel, Uhura... I can read, you know. Funny--there was a book by someone named Doctor Spock.

Spock would have all the bedside manner of a rock.

I guess I just can't imagine myself with a kid, so it's hard to imagine you with one, but hey, you've got them around and they're good people.

Hey, it's not something I ever expected, either. But it's good to feel... useful, again.
