Components Of The Enterprise
You would think after finishing up a mission on Janus Five. Captain James T. Kirk would be able to relax after leaving orbit. Even Mr. Spock had made the one suggestion coming from the Vulcan. That Star Fleet Command was going to be some what easy on the Enterprise.
And have them be sent home for liberty. But no dice at this time. However Star Fleet Command had felt that the Enterprise and other vessels needed to be patrolling the Romulan neutral zone.
Just in case of any problems. Due to recent rumors of a uprising with key members of the Romulan council members.
Through talks has begun with certain key members and Federation Alliance members in order to keep peace on both sides.
It would have to be Captain Kirk and his crew to patrol one particular section for now. Until further orders are given to come home.
Captain James T. Kirk was very much missing his oldest son William. He'd heard his vessel the U.S.S. Deer Born was involved with some sort of an exercise. And currently Kirk was exhausted after what came about with the Hortas.
He was hoping for the very best. Otherwise he needed to rest. After sending a message to the Enterprise bridge with Mr. Spock having to have the chair for now. That he was going to try and get in a few hours of shut-eye.
Mr. Spock tried with with Vulcan sense of dry humor had come back with a reply. Only to have James T. Kirk shaking his head for the most part for the late hour.
Even though Spock had asked sincerely in regard to the shut-eye remark. Only to divert his attention to another matter involving the ship's status after finishing up on Janus Five.
And having to made the suggestions for all departments to stay busy for the most part. In case of any trouble that just might come from the other side of the neutral zone.
"That's well and good Mr. Spock. Just make sure that your able to see to it at this particular time. While I take a brief rest inside of my quarters." He says with a bit of a retort with his tone of voice.
As Mr. Spock was able to paused for a brief moment. Before he's able to answer his commander officer and friend in regard to be made ready. "I will be certain of it Captain." He replied from the command chair. Even though having to be some what quiet for the moment with the change in shifts going on.
"Please that you do Spock." It was how the conversation ended. While Kirk was able to get out of his uniform and into something more suitable for sleeping. Though he knows his mind won't be able to shut down completely having to always worry about the Romulans.
And he doesn't wish to be dumbfounded having to be caught off-guard for where they are concerned. Or any other races that may get in the way of the Enterprise and himself.
Ever since he's come back from Janus Five. After seeing Mr. Spock communicate with Mother Horta and the other creature. It was some what strange for himself to be hearing voices from inside of his mind at times. Even if it is all in his mind and his imagination. And being some what of a rare instants at times. Mostly due to the many times he'd melded with Vulcans over the years either from Spock, Sarek and a few others.
Just maybe he was worried about William and his vessel. Or even to the fact his wife Nyota Uhura was due back to the Enterprise in a few weeks. After finishing up her stint as Captain on the U.S.S. Horizon and her eventual retirement.
She'd been recalled back to Earth for a series of lectures for when it comes to communications.
