"Captain. I'm so sorry about Admiral Pike." Uhura says to Jim
"We all are." Jim says.
"Are you okay?" Uhura asks.
"Fine, thank you, Lieutenant." Jim says as they enter the turbolift.
Jim sighs loudly and blinks a few time.
"Actually, Scotty just quit." He says making Uhura looks up at him."And Rose is terribly...huh..terribly mad at me for...for..quite a lot of things." He closes his eyes realising how badly he's fucked up, but continues talking,
"And your boyfriend's second-guessing me every chance he gets." Jim pauses and looks down first at Uhura and then at his feet, "I'm sorry, that was inappropriate. It's just sometimes I want to rip the ff.. bangs off his head. You know, maybe it's me. I--" he tries to understand, but is interrupted.
"It's not you." Uhura says.
Jim looks at the woman, his brows furrowed. "It's not?" Jim turns to look at her and asks, "Wait, are you guys, are you guys fighting?"
"I'd rather not talk about it, sir." Uhura says.
"Oh, my God. What is that even like?" Jim asks when the turbolift's doors slide and the bridge appears and Spock is about to enter the lift.
Both Jim and Uhura look at Spock.
Uhura steps out of the lift and goes to her station.
Jim too steps onto the bridge. "Ears burning?" He says to Spock and walks away.

"Captain on the bridge." Chekov announces.
Jim sees Carolynn busy as her station. A constant frown on het beautiful face and he's done nothing but added to it. He sees Sulu walk up to her and say, "Lynn, I really don't have words to express my grief. I just..I'm really sorry about Admiral Pike."
Carolynn exhales and looks at her hands. "Thank you." She says. Sulu nods and leaves for his chair.
"Captain." Sulu says to Jim who is approaching Chekov.
"Mister Chekov." Jim says leaning down, the young man looks up at him. "You've been shadowing Mister Scott. You are familiar with the engineering systems of this ship?" Jim asks.
"Affirmative, sir." Chekov assures.
"Good. You're my new Chief. Go put on a red shirt." Jim says and pats on his shoulder.
"Aye, Captain." Chekov mutters and leaves for the engineering.
Jim looks up to see Carolynn looking at him. He walks up to her and whispers, "I'll fix everything, Rose. I promise. I just..I need you to be patient with me. Please, Bubs." With that being said, Jim walks off to his chair and sits down.
"Retract all moorings, Mister Sulu." Jim says with a nod.
"Yes, sir." Sulu says and gets to work.
"All moorings retracted." Sulu reports.
A Junior navigation officer comes and takes Chekov's place.
"Lieutenant Uhura, open a shipwide channel." Jim orders.
"Yes, sir." Uhura replies.
"Mister Chekov, how are we looking down there?" Jim asks over comms.
"All systems nominal, Captain." Chekov's voice is heard.
"Copy that." Jim says.
"Warp available at your command." Chekov adds.
