DAY 29 (Shift : Monday)

Today Ensign Kirk was on duty in the Deck 6 Armoury.

In the evening he spent four hours coming up with a concept design for a Tactical Integrated
Targeting System (T.I.T.S)

The abstract read:

''
T.I.T.S.
Basically, a set of integrated armour, with helmet incorporating a HUD, which shows a crosshair, linked
to your weapons sights, allowing for more accurate targeting.

In addition, a tactical tricorder should be incorporated with an option to be switched on permanently
on an "ACTIVE SCAN", enabling the HUD to show any energy signatures, life signs, motion, weak points or
other points of interest.
''

DAY 30 (Shift : Tuesday)

Today Ensign Kirk was on duty in the Deck 6 Armoury.

He showed T.I.T.S. to Crewman Dell and she said it seemed like a good idea.

After he got off shift at 7pm he ate at the mess hall. Looking around for someone to talk to though
he saw that there was not much going on.

He thought he would get some practice in with his katana, but couldn't find a suitable area. He
put in a request for the use of Cargo Bay 2, at 9pm each night.


DAY 31 (Shift : Wednesday)

While on shift at D6A Ensign Kirk was sent along for guard duty. Due to a fight in Engineering B'Elana
Torres was confined to quarters.

After a few hours of not much going on Seska came along and tried to get access to Torres. Kirk stood
firm though and after seduction and then threats failed Seska left. Kirk reported this to Tuvok.

Once Chakotay had secured the release of Torres, Kirk was released of duty and ended up in the mess
hall. Here Torres came over and angrily gave Kirk a piece of her mind.

Later on Kirk arranged a sparing session with Ensign Parsons and Crewman Dell in Cargo Bay 2.
While they enjoyed it, they felt the lack of anyone with enough skill to offer good training.

Ensign Kirk then used the gym.


DAY 32 (Shift : Thursday)

USS Voyager receives a distress call and heads towards what appears to be a Quantum Singularity

Crewmembers throughout the day were randomly struck down with headaches so severe that they had
to go to medbay to be checked out. This was due to the effects on time of the Singularity.

Ensign Kirk was one of them. Once he was back on his feet the Doctor requested that he take
some soil samples to Kes down in the Hydroponics Bay. Kirk check with Andrews if that was ok, but
was told to get back to his post ASAP. The Doctor gave him a look as he left.

Later that day he was called in to see the Captain. She was doing the rounds of the new additions
and getting to know them.

Here is a transcript of some of the conversation:

''
Janeway - I've familiar with most of the crew and I am reading up in our new members, but you are not Voyager
crew or Maquis. I've read your Starfleet record and the various reports Tuvok has written. Well, welcome
aboard Mr Kirk. Any relation?
''
Kirk - No Captain.
''
Janeway - Well anyway. Tuvok thinks you have the makings of a fine security officer, given the right training.
And from the last two action reports I've read from Lt Andrews you handle a phaser rifle well enough. I see
a note here that you are not suited to espionage though. Well anyway, remember this is first and foremost
a science vessel. You would be more suited aboard a full on military cruiser or battleship. But well, we know
why that can't happen now.
Hopefully we will be free of this Singularity soon and on our way again. I want you to give careful consideration
to your role here on Voyager. Tuvok is in the early stages of putting together a Hazard team. I've asked
him to put that on hold for now though. Hopefully we wont need such a unit, but I have told him he can
begin training people. Would you like to be part of that?
Although I'm sure we will need to use force from time to time here in the Delta Quadrant, it would appear
that our first real threat will be solved by scientific thinking. Something that, through no fault of
your own, you are lacking in. So, perhaps you would prefer to brush up on some of your old Starfleet
science education instead? No need to decide now, think about it an let me know in a day or two.'
''

The rest of the day Kirk spent inputting into a full diagnostic report on all systems after the ship was thrown
about a good deal and ended up back at the Quantum Singularity after trying to escape it.

By the end of the shift though, Captain Janeway and B'Elanna Torres had been out in a shuttle to open up a hole
in the Singularity and Voyager was free of it.

At 10pm Kirk moved his gear down to a new cabin on Deck 9. He had a room to himself but shared a communal
area with Kes the Occampan.

DAY 33 (Shift : Friday)

During his shift Ensign Kirk was sent to Medbay for a check up. Kirk was surprised to see that the Doctor was
only two feet tall. There was a problem with the Holo Emitters but Kirk could not help lacking the relevant
skills.

While there he was treated to a soliloquy from the Doctor.

It is transcribed here:

''
Notice how the Captain has her favourites? Tuvok of course, but then there is Paris and Kim. Just because they
are Bridge Crew. Heavy science background, you can see that. And her is me stuck down in Medical. I'll never get
a place at the Captains table.
Not that it bothers some people evidently. Take your Lt Andrews. Long serving member of the Voyager crew. How often
do you see him in the captains ready room? And yet there is a felon, an ensign and two random aliens. Hardly
seems fair does it? What's the difference, you may ask? Well, I'll tell you. Andrews is no more than a man with a
gun. A strong man with a very good gun, admittedly, but he'll never add anything to the sum of knowledge on
the bridge.
So down in the Deck 6 armoury he will forever lurk until such time as a man with a gun is needed.
Mark my words young man, if you want the favour of the captain, then get your science head on. Which leaves
me here doesn't it? A genius with so much to contribute, but confined to a single room like the Count of Monte
Cristo. ... why are you still here? Don't you have go practice shooting something? *sigh* please switch me off as
you leave... not that anyone cares...
''

After his shift Kirk met his squad mates in the cargo bay to practice melee combat.

When he got to his cabin at 11pm Kes jumped up from the sofa she had been relaxing on and rushed to her cabin.

DAY 34 (Shift : Sat)

Ensign Kirk was on shift at the D6A.

DAY 36 (Shift : Mon)

Ensign Kirk was on shift at the D6A.

DAY 37 (Shift : Tue)

Ensign Kirk was on shift at the D6A.

Before he left the living area he shared with Kes he left a note saying there was no need to avoid him.

In the evening, on his return, he was pleased to see that Kes had laid out dinner for him and as they ate
they talked and made friends.
From this day on, in general, Kes would have a nice meal waiting for him when he got back to the cabin.

DAY 38 (Shift : Wed)

Ensign Kirk was on shift at the D6A.

Tuvok returned Ensign Kirk's report on 'T.I.T.S' to him and told him it required more detail. He advised
him to talk to Engineering.

DAY 39 (Shift : Thu)

Ensign Kirk was on shift at the D6A.

Ensign Kirk sent his report on 'T.I.T.S' to Chief of Engineering B'Elanna Torres and she said she would
take a look.

DAY 40 (Shift : Fri)

Ensign Kirk was on shift at the D6A.

DAY 41 (sat)

Ensign Kirk was on shift at the D6A.

Kirk realised that if he wanted to get any better at using his katana he would need to get it in as part
of the D6A training schedule. Crewman Anderson was happy to go along with it, but Ensign Parsons was yet
to be convinced.
