Welcome aboard, Captain Kirk. I'm glad to see you doing better now, and I hear you're expected to make a full recovery. [ Pike glances between the two of them, noting the signs of too much stress and too little sleep, and shifts his tone from genial to businesslike. ] But since it looks like you're both in serious need of some rest, we'd best get to it. Lieutenant, you said you had a more detailed explanation forthcoming. Well, lay it on me.
[ With a deep breath and a glance over at James, she nods and begins. From the man who'd died in the ship's hallway to meeting James on the bridge of his Enterprise, from finding themselves in 21st century Toronto to uncovering the Romulans were behind the attack, she describes their steps in great detail. After only a few minutes, she arrives at the true purpose behind their mission, which proves much more difficult to impassionately illustrate. Saving Khan from assassination — she hopes to never have to speak about it with anyone else. Which leads to the final, perhaps most important part. ]
A short time ago, I returned to my quarters and was met by an agent from the Department of Temporal Investigations. From what I gather, they protect the timeline from such incidents, and this isn't the first time someone has tried to alter that particular part of history. Agent Ymalay made it quite clear that while Captain Kirk will be allowed to stay in this time, no one can know the details of what led to him being here. No one beyond the three of us in this room.
