Tucked away in a corner somewhere, Jim Kirk sits with a small plate of Chinese food and a glass of mulled wine. Despite his festive holiday sweater, he doesn't look terribly excited about being here, his hand drifting down to his hip every so often to make sure the phaser is still there. After what happened at the last Nexus party, the captain is taking no chances, watching the goings-on with a wary eye for any trouble. Never mind that the phaser might not even work here; the AVF didn't stop the Nightmare, and he'll be damned if he doesn't at least try to protect himself.

As far as enjoying the gathering... well, we'll see, won't we?
