So this is Christine, back to normal. If you need me for anything, I'm available. Oh, and those of us who were swapped: don't overexert yourselves. I know we're all excited to be back where we belong, but as Dr. Halverson said, there could be side effects. Just be smart and don't go bouncing off the walls just yet, ok? Ok.

I had a beard for a while, I'm pretty sure that counts as important.

[He laughs and doesn't mention the drinks part. Bones is going to be going too and. well. awkwardness forever.]

[rightawaydoctor]

Oh sure. Nothing is quite as vital as Jim Kirk's facial hair.

[chairismine]

Come on. Maybe it'll make everyone take me seriously for once.

[locked]

[rightawaydoctor]

I think the beard is more a sign of a man being lazy and not grooming himself, so I'm not sure you'll be taken more seriously.

[Jim is now trying to catch his reflection in the screen of the recorder. Maybe she's got a point.]

[rightawaydoctor]

Please tell me you're not so vain that you're checking out your reflection in your communicator.

[chairismine]

What? No!

Just... trying to see whether I'd look distinguished or like a hobo.

[rightawaydoctor]

[She sighs. This man...]

You'd look good... for a hobo.

[locked]

[chairismine]

[he grins and throws her a wink] Thanks. But I guess hobo isn't what a captain should look like, even without his ship.

[rightawaydoctor]

Very true. You have to be respectable around here, representing Starfleet and the Federation as you are.

[locked]

[chairismine]

Well. There goes the beard idea. [he shrugs, not appearing all that put out.]

[locked]

[rightawaydoctor]

I'm sure it'll be replaced by an even better idea soon enough.
