[NVC Day 27] -- [Open Office] -- [Open to All]
With the sentencing over, the Enterprise would soon be leaving Sha'Kwai and returning to its original mission. By this point, Jim was ready for it. He wanted off the planet, his wanderlust getting the better of it. It was the longest stretch of time he had spent in once place minus his years at the Academy - always moving, always traveling, wanting

We've never met, but I've heard about your experiences in space from my ex-husband, Leonard McCoy. He's told me that you are a fine captain and a friend of his, which is why I am writing to you. I have been trying to get in touch with him for a few weeks now, and he is either incapacitated or is ignoring my messages. They are regarding the situation on board with his parents.
Can you please ask him to contact me as soon as possible? There are things happening here that I might be able to handle, if he would only give me some direction or indication what he'd like done. Otherwise, I am at a loss to stop what might happen unless I take matters into my own hands.
Respectfully,

I'll be blunt, as this is a private message.
We've never met for a damn good reason, because I'm pretty sure it wouldn't end well. I don't know what you think you have to say or do about his parents, but you have absolutely nothing, no right at all, to have a say in his life and specially about his parents.
You think maybe he's ignoring your messages for a reason? He doesn't want anything to do with you except his daughter. What new way are you trying to ruin his life?
Don't contact me, or him, again unless it has to do with Joanna.

If you know Leonard at all, you'll know that he'd rather run and hide than deal with something that is bothering him. He knows why I want to talk, and yes, he doesn't want to deal with it. I can't imagine he's taking his parents being alive well. His father's death devastated him in ways you can't imagine.
I assure you I don't want to ruin his life. But there are reporters nosing around looking for anything related to his parents - anyone who knew them, related to them, neighbors from the old house. People have been seen poking at their graves.
The moment someone comes near my daughter is the moment this leaves his jurisdiction and I deal with it my way. If he wants hands off this, like everything else, that's fine. But he had his chance. If not for me, then for our little girl - tell him to contact me as soon as he can.

Maybe he could do something as well. Get Starfleet to lean on the papers to keep them off the kid.
Bones,
Need you to get a hold of me asap. It's important, very important.

Jim sighed, rubbing a hand over his face.

Fuck.
Is this an emergency, Jim?
If this is what I think it's about, then I'll take care of it when I get home. Don't worry about it.
