So. It's come to my attention that we are like-- [he squints off-camera for a moment] three days away from Valentine's, and I've only got two questions: Where's the party, and who's in the market for a date? For the record, I am a Capricorn with exceptional taste in music, poetry, cars and alcohol.

[-- a slight pause.]

And, I mean. Come on, look at me.

[The most ridiculous, devil-may-care grin imaginable. Hear ye, hear ye, ladies and gents, Jim Kirk has the floor. But after a moment it fades and he clears his throat, going back to 'business', so to speak.]

Name's Kirk! Friends call me Jim. I'm new, but don't worry about the welcome wagon. Got that sorted out on my own. My kingdom for a good hamburger.

[And with an airy little wave, he disconnects.]

Yeah. Okay. He'll be excited too, trust me.

[jirk]

[Jim just sort of. Shakes his head.]

We'll see. Four days! And then feel free to give me a ring, I guess this thing probably does messages.

[microbrobotics]

Sure thing. Why four days though?

[jirk]

[DAY AFTER VALENTINE'S DAY, aka his schedule will be slightly more clear, gosh? But, uh. Give him a moment and he'll cough into his hand.]

Gives me some time to get settled and everything. I mean I've been here less than twenty-four hours, and I've got to go find this place I'm supposed to work at, get the lay of the land. You know. Recon stuff.

[microbrobotics]

Okay, fair. And if you have trouble with the job thing, I know of some tech places that'd probably hire you.

[jirk]

I'll keep that in mind, kiddo.

[He gives Hiro a two-fingered salute in the general vicinity of his forehead.]

Good luck. See you in a few.

[And he disconnects.]
