Spock slowly walked up to the microphone. "I am here; we are all here; to commemorate James Tiberius Kirk." He adjusted the microphone. "He was a good Starfleet officer, a wonderful captain and an even better friend. The Enterprise shall mourn her captain was a friend to many, an enemy to few, and t'hy'la to myself. He made a mark on all the lives he touched. He changed many lives, and it is only now that he is dead that I realise just how much he changed my own… and just how much I will miss him." He looked down at the Enterprise bridge crew in the front row. "And he will be missed not just by myself, but by many. And he will be mourned by more." He looked out at the crowd sadly. "And the universe shall sing him to sleep." he said quietly. He walked down and resumed the place of honour in between Dr. McCoy on one side and Scotty on the other.
