Jim Kirk enters the Nexus in a mild daze, still a little stunned at the news he's just received from Command. He doesn't look like he's shaved for a few weeks, but his black Starfleet Academy instructor's uniform is clean and his hair is neatly combed, so it's not like he's been letting himself go or anything.

He gets a cup of coffee on autopilot, before finding a seat to really think over what the hell just happened, a look of hopeful disbelief on his face, like he's been told something that's too good to be true.

"Have you ever had a dream job you never expected to get?" he asks after several minutes, looking up. "For those that haven't, if you knew you wouldn't be home for a couple years, what would you not leave without?"

"I will wish you the very best of fortune, on that voyage," Shade-Seeker offers, holding back advice to nonetheless prepare for the worst. It would be condescending to say it, and to assume that Jim doesn't already know, and condescension isn't generally in the young archmage's bag. "May all you meet be friendly."

"Thank you. I hope so too." Jim certainly does know that not all people are friendly, and the Federation borders two such empires already. But he's also optimistic about what they may find out there, and the possibilities are endless, just waiting to be discovered. After all, how will they know unless they seek?

((This seems like a good place to leave off. Thanks for the roleplay.))

[Agreed. Another good thread. Thank you!]
