What's on your mind, Admiral?

[no-dryer-box.livejournal.com]

Just wondering if they'll decide to give me another ship when I get out of this chair.

[win-winscenario.livejournal.com]

As if they could keep you grounded.

You'd be surprised what Starfleet and it's buerocracy can do.

They won't, Starfleet needs you and [grins], worse case scenario, you steal a ship. But it's not going to come to that. I bet they can't wait to get you out of that chair and into the one on the bridge.

*amused* I don't think stealing a ship would get me all that far.

[win-winscenario.livejournal.com]

You could always stowaway on the Enterprise, we've got room and enough crawl spaces for you to hide out in. But it won't come to that. Like I said they want you out there. I bet they're almost as anxious as you to get you walking again.

How's that going, by the way, if I'm allowed to ask.

...Hey. [dryly.] Didn't expect Riverside to be such a popular place for shoreleave.

[no-dryer-box.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* Seemed as good a place as any.

[Nods, shoves his hands in his jacket pockets.] Good place to think. [And remember, but he doesn't say that.] Something on your mind?

[no-dryer-box.livejournal.com]

Other than wondering if they'll give me a ship or a Starbase if I get out of this chair, not really.

[The fact that this is a concern of Pike's makes Jim look a little irritated with Star Fleet.] You're a hero. With all due respect, they'd have to be stupid to not put you wherever you want.

[no-dryer-box.livejournal.com]

I can ask, but like everyone else, it's subject to approval.

*He is the low Admiral on the Totem Pole after all. Besides, where he wants to be is the Enterprise, but she's Kirk's ship now and he would never admit that to him*

What brings you here?
