He would never get the chance to try again. It was one of the few things Pike was looking forward to, though his instincts would most likely never believe. The simple idea that a man could exist without the constant fear of a dagger being buried in his spine, poison in his food, or any number of other far more gruesome deaths was a very, very powerful idea indeed.
"I came only to give you a few words," Pike's smirk threatened to make itself known. There was, and always would be, a thrill in knowing that someone was divested of everything but their will to survive. That was also a very powerful idea, and it seemed Kirk was tapping into it. "You may want to be far more grateful to McCoy in the future, for what he's done," If Kirk was going to survive under Uhura's reign long enough to get to a decent physical condition, he would find refuge in sickbay. It would, if Pike was accurate, not the most pleasant refuge but it would be one from a quick death under Uhura's blade.
