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?"

It is nice to see Jim looking like he finally has heard some good news. And for a moment, Hunter has to wonder how long it has been since they had last seen each other. Because there is stubble on his face, that wasn't there before.

He has an educated guess about what good news Jim has received, based on his question. "I am doing what I love doing, that is why I don't consider it a job."

"And I guess, I would want to take my sketch book."

"I have had some little bit of that experience," a robed lizard-man offers. "Congratulations upon your achievement!" His smile is bright and encouraging, before it turns to inquiry: "what have you achieved?"
