'You've reached the voice mail of Jim Kirk. If this is an emergency, hit the pound key to deliver your message via the speaker. As long as I've got my comm with me, I'll hear it. If this is about a class assignment, press one. If this is regarding the location of any of my crew, press two.

If this is Spock questioning my orders to relax every once in a while, wait for exactly 43 seconds, press your thumb to the screen, and speak the secret passwords: 'It's okay to relax every now and then because I trust my captain, as a friend, to know what's good for me.'

...

Did you do it? Now just press 2, it would have got you the same results.'

BEEP!

One exception makes a second even more likely. Besides, it's better than sitting around with my nose jammed into a grade book day after day.

Put in a good word for me. Thanks.

I do not believe I was clear in my last message. Guardian Vakarian is not a member of the Genessia Scientific Research Foundation but is assisting on this specific project for classified reasons.

In any case, I will mention you to her before the start of the experiment.

So he's there as a security measure?

[Just ignoring that part about being classified.]

[vulcanyounot]

[Luckily the answer to that doesn't violate the NDA.]

Not entirely. He will be there to monitor both myself and the actual study itself. He has technology which allows him to detect and scan for a multitude of things.

[Damn. Acting as security was Kirk's best shot at getting involved with no fuss.]

Makes sense.

You take care. Once the NDA is dissolved, I want to hear your report.

[vulcanyounot]

Of course, Captain.
