"Captain."
Sulu's voice brought him back from his daydreams as it always did.
Kirk turned to face him.
"Yes, Mr. Sulu?"
"Our shift is over, Captain.
You should get some rest."
Sulu cracked a smile.
"Will do, Mr. Sulu.
I suggest you do so yourself."
Kirk grinned a little.
"Aye, sir."
Sulu left the bridge, headed for his quarters.
Kirk sighed, knowing it was going to be a long night.
He slowly stood up, glanced over at the science station (now containing an empty chair), and headed for the door, en route for his quarters.
The quarters that would now and forever remain empty aside from himself, only accompanied by loneliness.
