[Meeting with Starfleet]

    This was everything Kirk didn't want to do, but knew he had to. He waited until nearly everyone was off the ship, save some leftovers like the security in the brig, some of medical... and himself. He went into his office and sat down, trying to settle himself enough to do this. What the hell am I even going to say about all of this? He picked up the padd that held the relayed message, given to him within seconds of docking at Risa.

( With a seriously sinking heart, he pulled up the relays back to Earth. )
