Enteprise Corridors
6:00 PM
Spock made his way through the ship's corridors toward the Astrophysics Labs. After he had concluded
his meeting with the Department Head he had some reports that he needed to complete before turning
them over to the Captain.
The Captain.
He felt a tinge of annoyance. Over the past nine point forty eight days since the Captain had returned from
his shore leave he had become increasingly agitated and seemingly unable to focus on his work. On the bridge
Spock had often glanced at the obviously distracted Captain and felt waves of irritation.
Even worse the Captain had kept attempting to drag others into a conversation about his shore leave.
The rest of the crew had demonstrated sound logic and avoided such attempts.
As he walked he passed by the Observation Lounge. Upon glancing inside he saw the Captain sitting on
one of the sofas. He noticed that he had a troubled expression on his face.
He turned to go. He had a meeting with the Head of Astrophysics and logic dictated that professional matters
were more important than personal (and no doubt distasteful) conversations.
As he prepared to depart the Captain noticed him and glanced in his direction. In the human's eyes Spock
detected the emotions of...Sadness? Distress? Entreaty?
Obviously the Captain was disappointed not to have been able to regale anyone with his exploits.
Spock gave him a disproving look and departed.
