this is after sulu's pings go out but i'm impatient and exciteable

[goldshirt]

Is Sulu down there?

so you're a small dog

[suddenlycaptain]

No. Artoo is though.

yeah but probably something really irritating like a terrier

[goldshirt]

Have you heard from him?

as long as you're not a toy poodle those things scare me

[suddenlycaptain]

No.

[ Though now she has a bad feeling THANKS JIM. ]

You can't find him?

or a pug ugly but endearing and kind of weird

[goldshirt]

I haven't been able to track him down all week and I received a cryptic ping from his communicator this morning.

pugs and colin farrell have the same eyebrows have you ever noticed this

[suddenlycaptain]

What does yours say?

LMAO NO BUT NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT I AM RUINED FOREVER

[goldshirt]

"I'm going. Sorry."

YOU'RE WELCOME.

[suddenlycaptain]

"I have to go out. I'll be back, not sure when but I will be.
Watch Artoo for me.
I'll be okay."

... He went out into the ship, didn't he.

oh my god lmao

[goldshirt]

[he curses, loudly.]

He sure as hell isn't anywhere else.

:'D

[suddenlycaptain]

[ Oops. ]

What the hell does he think he's doing?

[goldshirt]

He's looking for Isaac Clarke.

[but he isn't there]

[suddenlycaptain]

Is he fucking stupid?

[goldshirt]

I don't know what the hell he's thinking.

[but if and when he comes back, Kirk is going to rip him a new one]

[suddenlycaptain]

Dammit.

[ This is the last thing she needs right now with everything else going on. ]

He comes back and doesn't need medical attention and sees you first, you send him down here.

[ Like hell is he getting away with working in three other departments when he's skipping out on her right now. ]

[goldshirt]

I have half a mind to chain him to one of those shuttles when I get my hands on him.

[suddenlycaptain]

Can't work if he's chained to a shuttle, but you can be damn sure I'm not letting any other departments borrow him for a bit after this little stunt.

[goldshirt]

Oh, I'm sure he could figure out a way.

[can you feel his outrage here, Carolyn; but the overblown threats aside, Jim is off his head with concern and anger. how his helmsman could disobey a direct order like that— he doesn't know what to make of it.]

[suddenlycaptain]

Assuming he comes back.

[ Because not everyone does, and because Carolyn's not an optimist. ]

[goldshirt]

Don't.

[because he can't— can't consider that right now. he has to assume that Sulu is out there and that he'll be back before the jump, and he won't accept anything otherwise unless Sulu doesn't come back]

[suddenlycaptain]

[ He might hear it from more people than her, people who won't stop when asked. But she doesn't press. ]

You need something to do, you can come down here.

[goldshirt]

I will.

[need something to do and come down, because he can't look for Sulu and that leaves him helpless]
