'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!

Not that the need to use an emergency contact is an indicator of good news. ]

[He sits down on the couch, because that's what you do when you know bad news is coming.]
What is it, what happened?

Despite his earlier resolution to sit down, he's up on his feet and stalking the living room. Give him a few seconds to answer, Weiss, because he's mouthing curses without voicing them, and raising a fist like he's going to take a swing at the wall.]
[He almost does it, too.]
[But he's a captain now, not a dumb kid with a rank thrown at him through sheer circumstance alone.]
How would feigning death help you study what happens after a person dies? It's fake.
[And what kind of price is Spock going to pay? He knows she probably can't answer that but he's already trying to find solutions and actions.]

Date: 2018-01-06 04:42 am (UTC)[But all the same, dammit! It's not like he can get mad at Weiss, or even Spock, because they took every precaution they possibly could. And if anyone's going to get data on something they don't know about, it'd have to be the experienced science officer.]
So what now? We wait?

Date: 2018-01-12 02:35 am (UTC)[ SHe pauses. ] You're.. welcome to come wait with us, if you'd like, though I wouldn't ask you to watch your friend's lifeless body if you aren't up to that.

Date: 2018-01-13 05:03 pm (UTC)I think I'll see what happens. He died for that information.
[So while he hates the thought of standing by and watching Spock's corpse get carted off, the Vulcan must have been aware that was a legitimate risk. He'd gone through with it anyway, so this is probably important.]
Where do I need to be?
