Action
Starfleet should be impressed with us. Too bad we've got no way to contact them. Not that I feel like informing them of the situation here anyways. [ Because Pike would be in his face, screaming about the Prime Directive. Too bad. Kirk was going to help them.
He glanced away before pacing a bit. ]
Don't beat yourself up about it, Lieutenant. It's not going to change anything. [ Kirk would beat himself up instead. He was the one that passed off on the mission. He should have had it where things were more prepared before he sent them after the bastard. ]
When you went back, after coming here without the Bangle... did you remember anything?
