"Keptin on ze bridge!"
"Welcome back Captain!"
"Good to have you back!"
Captain James T. Kirk walked across the bridge for the first time since his death. His crew applauded as he returned to the chair of command, which was quickly vacated by his First Officer.
"Captain. Happy to see you back."
"Was that an emotion?"
"I was simply attempting to convey an idea in terms you would find easier to understand."
"This is going to be one for the log. The day my First Officer admitted to having emotions."
"I have already admitted to feeling emotion. Or did you forget?" Spock seemed taken aback by his own bluntness. "I apologize Captain, it was not my intention to-"
"No, no forget about it. It's ancient history. And you know what, Spock." Kirk glanced around the bridge and said "It's good to be back."
Somewhere near Vega…
"MAYDAY MAYDAY WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" screamed the captain desperately into his communicator.
"No one can hear you, you fool." He looked up into the nose of a gun. The last thing he heard was the click of a trigger being pulled.
"This ship will be sufficient, I think."
"Yes Commander."
"Set course to intercept the U.S.S Enterprise."
"Yes Commander."
