homeless and probably staying that way.

Now you take a step back, lady; you know my old bones weren't meant for this sort of gadding about. Let me kick my feet up and enjoy life for awhile before you start making grand plans for another ill-planned jaunt into space.

And yes, whoop-de-doo, I've got tear ducts. The fact I had to actually use them is Jim's fault, mark my words, so you can quit making that sad little face at me. Jim's fault. Not mine. Go find one of the many Jims running around here and treat him instead; I'm sure he'll lap up the extra attention with relish.

Goddamn it.

What's wrong with a little extra attention?

[hypo]

Yeah, yeah. And when your head explodes by virtue of your monster ego, guess who gets the pretty job of putting you back together?

[emboldened]

Not sure. M'Benga? Chapel? -- Nah, they don't have what it takes. Come on, Bones, it's not that bad. Think of it as self-confidence! Ego just has a bad ring to it, you know?

[hypo]

Nobody has what it takes to deal with you, and that includes me. Why do you think I joined you up in this deathtrap of a tin can? Kirk-induced insanity, that's why. They ought to add it to the next edition of the goddamned DSM.

Yeah, well, yelling into the void's a sight better than having my blood vessels erupt all over that nice fancy suit of yours.

[ don't make that face at him, young man!! ]

[Pike is eyeing the new doctor, wondering if this is who replaces Boyce on his crew.]

[hypo]

[ yeah, he's just going to eye you right pack. ]

Got two ears open for you, if you have something to fill 'em with.

[captainpike]

[Okay, maybe this won't be so bad. Pike did like a man who spoke his mind.]

Captain Christopher Pike, USS Enterprise. And you?

I don't think I've ever come across a Starfleet officer who doesn't want to go into space.

It's like some kind of disease.
