indiana_jThis actually is just a snippet from a slightly longer piece I'm working on - trying to get Kirk's voice right for the longer bits...

"So you're all wondering why I called this meeting, blah blah blah," Kirk intoned, throwing his feet up on the table.
"Oh no, never crossed my mind," Bones responded immediately. "Between checking to make sure all the repairs to the medical bay were completed, checking to make sure that we had all of our supplies restocked, checking to make sure that weird hobgoblin alien hadn't swiped more of my spray-on-bandages-"
"Hey, now!" Scotty protested from across the table but Bones just glared at him.
"He's got a problem, likes sticky things. You might want to keep an eye on that." He turned back to Kirk. "But, no. In between the eighty other billion things I had to do today, I didn't once stop to think why you were calling this meeting of "senior staff". I figured with your mouth, we'd know soon enough."
Kirk gave Spock a woe begone look. "Do you see what I have to put up with?"
"Fascinating, Captain."
"My own crew gives me lip and he thinks it's fascinating. Right, does anyone else have anything smart they'd like to say? Put your hand down, Sulu."
