Kirk stood outside the doors to the severed bridge of the ship he hadn't seen in over a year. There used to be a hallway here - to the right, sickbay and to the left, the transporter room. Both were gone, sent home along with the people they'd accompanied. Sickbay had vanished months ago with Doctor McCoy, but the transporter room was a more recent disappearance, gone with Uhura. Both she and Spock were now absent from Taxon.

Part of him was glad they were gone. No-one deserved to be here. Better they be home, leading the lives they were supposed to than here in sometimes apocalyptic hamsterland. The other part was angry and jealous; felt abandoned and alone. Irrational, he realized, but hey, he was only human.

He took a step towards the doors and they parted obediently, granting him access to the Enterprise's remaining piece. Once on the bridge, he lifted the tablet he'd known was on all along into view so he could look at the screen directly. For once, he'd actually turned it on himself and wasn't just the tablet glitch that plagued Taxon's residents.

"To those of you who knew them, Commander Spock and Lieutenant Nyota Uhura have been sent home."

Max hasn't been going out of her way to avoid Kirk -

Well, that's a total lie. She has been. But residual awkwardness about what had happened (or what she'd tried to make happen) between them when she'd been in heat aside, she likes Kirk and it's never a good thing when someone you know and care about gets sent home.

"Sorry to hear it."

It's probably not the most amazing idea for Buffy to say anything here, but she knows how much Kirk cares for his crew, and she knows that he's very good at giving the impresssion of being fine when he's anything but.

"I'm sorry Jim."

So you can go home...

I'm sorry that you lost your friends.

"I'm sorry."

The words were nowhere near enough, but they were the only ones left from their world and she felt compelled to answer. She liked Kirk - not just because of the legend that went with his name, but because he was the sort of person she could see herself respecting enough to serve under - and he needed to know that she'd stick by him. It wasn't much, but it was something.

Besides, she understood the bond between captain and crew. Voyager was more than just a ship, as Captain Janeway was so fond of telling them. It was a home and a family and she'd been pulled away from both. The Enterprise and it's crew must have meant the same to him.
