[ kathryn arches an eyebrow in a very vulcan like fashion at that "we don't get along" comment, but her expression otherwise remains impassive. with the exception of sharing what khan did in her timeline with kirk and making the offhand confirmation here and there in regards to their counterparts having done the same thing in her timeline as they did in theirs, she hasn't said a word to any of them about what became of any of them. even if she would like to see the look on mccoy's face were she to tell him he's still alive and kicking in 2375, an admiral and still driving everyone at starfleet medical batty.
there's a lot of stubborn at this table with the man who refuses to die and the woman who told the borg collective to sit down, shut up, and do things her way.
she chuckles, her lips curling upward slightly. ] I suppose that's something else he and I have in common. [ taking failure as a challenge to not only succeed, but excel at succeeding. kathryn shakes her head. ] You know, I never realized how much I was like James Kirk. I always thought that Picard [ not that you know who that is, bones, unless you're familiar with his family's winery ] or Riker would take the cake on Kirk similarities, not an eager, ambitious ex science officer.
[ boldly going where no one's gone before. she tells herself that on bad days, when her guilt's eating away at her and threatening to cast her back into the depths of the void where it nearly swallowed her whole: she's boldly going where nobody in starfleet has gone before, seeing through with one of the core principals of the federation. she did what she had to, she made the right choice, she did what starfleet would have done. that didn't mean she would ever stop feeling bad about it. that guilt would likely haunt her long after she got her crew home. ]
Good. He needs that. [ friendship, the reassurance that someone cares, and not just because he's the captain. ] To be completely honest, I envy him for having that.
