(OOC: This is an OPEN POST for anyone who desires it to bring themselves up to the Enterprise. Feel free to use it like a party post if needed, but this is an official/IC post!)
Exactly one month after they had arrived on Sha'Kwai, they were leaving. Early in the morning, Jim and Bones pulled themselves out of sweaty sheets and apart from each other, little marks that could all be hidden beneath their uniforms littering their bodies. The shower, the last time they would have unending hot water for a long while, got put through its paces just as much. Jim hoped that the little squeak in the door wouldn't be noticed from where he had been holding onto it while Bones was sucking him off.
Clean, in pressed uniforms, and feeling decent, the two of them and all of their stuff beamed back up to the Enterprise.
There was no change in the gravity and only a minimal change in temperature when they reformed, and Jim was pleased. Over three weeks, it had been decided, the gravity would be lightened back to normal and the temperature lowered until it was back to normal regulations. It would be easier on everyone's bodies that way. Jim had every plan to work to make sure that the muscle he had gained while on Sha'Kwai stayed on his body - damn his abs looked good. Bones seemed to approve too.
Once he had gone through the ship, checking in to make sure everything was set, he sent out the notice to the entire crew.
Captain Kirk to crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise,
The Enterprise is ready to set sail again. Begin returning to the ship immediately. The ship will be leaving space dock tonight at 17:00 precisely, so you will be required to be on ship by then. If there are any concerns or issues, please send a message directly to me. All crew will be accounted for upon transport, and you will be given your room assignments and schedules that have been provided by your supervisor.
Please be advised that there have been changes in room and ship layout, and along with this message you have been provided maps with keyed changes to the ship's layout. Be familiar with them as soon as possible. If there are any troubles with rooming assignments, please direct your messages to the ship's new quartermaster, Lt. Commander Aurelan Jira. Attached is the new crew roster as well.
If you are new to the Enterprise or otherwise require: you will
report immediately to sickbay after transport. There will be people bringing baggage to your new room assignment if it is required. There are no exceptions with this mandatory check up from the CMO, Doctor Leonard McCoy.
We'll be heading straight to Starbase 69 to drop off those that require transport there. It will be a sad goodbye to the people that have arrived from other universes and have decided to remain there, and I give a nod towards Christine 'Tina' Chapel and wish her good luck, but as it stands, they are only beginning their own adventures.
I'm looking forward to our future adventures together,
Captain James T. Kirk.
