"There's a quite a list of things I'd rather do than this but as I understand it, this is supposed to be punishment. Or maybe simply something to keep us occupied so we can't cause more trouble." She shakes her head. Despite looking a great deal like a Nysgod, the Enterprise is far from being one of them.

While she did enjoy having something to do she would much rather have a choice about it.

"You're welcome, Captain," the Enterprise grins back at him.

"As if I don't find trouble anyways." Jim can't help looking up and smirking at the woman. To him she does not quite look like the Nysgods. There are differences in how she looks that stand out to him.

Her response has him raise his eyebrows slightly.

"I know you." He is so sure of this. He knows he hasn't seen her here before but he knows her. He just knows it.

[hisonlygirl]

"We expect nothing less," a light teasing. They were used to looking for subtle differences, to not comparing one person to another - one species could be similar yet not in comparison to another.

That grin only grows wider at his words.

"You do, though I look completely different from the last time we saw each other." She stops putting together the lamp and turns completely towards him. "I'm not a crew member but am a member of Starfleet and serve you directly, our first encounter was in Riverside."

[epicbeatdown]

That gets a bright smile from him. She knows him so well. He knows her and this is comforting.

They never had sex. He knows that.

"Riverside?" His eyebrows furrow in thought. That night had been intense. Then he had gone to the ship yard. He remembers a lot from that trip.

Oh. He looks up as he tightens a screw.

"You're the Enterprise somehow. Nysgod technology?"

[hisonlygirl]

She knows him as well as she knows every inch of herself - from bow to stern and every tiny corner in between. Yet somehow Kirk can manage to still surprise her. It's a beautiful thing in her opinion.

No, they never had sex. Sex was a curious passing thought to her, one she would like to try eventually. Though he may (most definitely) find her in his bed in the future.

The Enterprise is quiet as he puzzles out the answer, the realization evident to her before he even says a word.

"I am. However, we have yet to discover how it's possible."

[epicbeatdown]

He knew her as well as a Captain could. Captains are always married to their ships. It is just a fact like that Earth's sky is blue.

The fact he knows what she is right away just puzzles him. He guesses this is because he almost died to save her and the crew she carried. He would have died if his command crew wasn't filled out with brilliant people.

He owes Nyota one. If she wants an awesome shore leave with Spock someday he'll help make it happen.

"Well anything is possible eventually."

[hisonlygirl]

While she couldn't feel anything as a ship, as a machine the Enterprise could have feelings now. There had been so many at the beginning. She almost thought she would have drowned in them. They subsided to something more manageable but as time went by the ship had felt the absence of her Captain. Sure Jane was around but as much as the ship could claim her they both knew that there was another ship out there, one that had known her Captain as a female instead of male. There would always be the smallest of differences between her timeline and that of any other Kirk.

So it was not unreasonable or illogical to say that she had missed her Captain's presence here. He had been such a big part of her life ever since the day they went to Vulcan. That meant it was perfectly sane to be glad to have him here, even if it meant he too was trapped.

"Eventually. The Nysgods seem to have technology beyond ours yet here we are, making more lava lamps than any species could possibly need."
