Well, count me an idiot because I like listening to you. Now whether I do anything you say or not is up in the air, but as far as listening, you got me.
Oh! Yeah, Spock is a Vulcan, I have a couple memories of him. He was there with me when I... um, well, you know. You saw it.
[He doesn't really want to talk about when he dies.. Died? Is dead?]
I would love to read it sometime, I plan to make the chess board I remember. Just to see or have something in person would, I don't know, make it feel more real.
Like how you didn't listen when I had to chase you halfway across a starship, yeah, I can see that.
Spock, huh? Haven't remembered any Vulcans themselves, but I'll take your word for it. Might explain why it's so clear to me, if he was on your ship.
[ Better to avoid that topic, Bones thinks. He doesn't want to remember Jim dying either. ]
I know what you mean. That's why I started writing it all down. It feels too weird to just know stuff without remembering where or why. I mean, I know the why, but I can't remember actually learning it. The knowledge is just... there now.
No! You know how the board is all like one piece in normal chess, well in 3D chess, the board is broken up and like on different levels. Here like this but better:
Huh. So, what, the pieces can move onto different platforms? That's pretty weird. I almost expected something more... space-y. Like with slides or guns or something.
I'm sure they have some that float and have aliens as pieces, but naw, just the different levels and platforms. It's a lot like normal chess but.. more dimensional.

Yeah, I know of the planet Vulcan some and of Spock, but I don't know anything else about Vulcans. He did have pointed ears!
[He preens a little at "your ship" because he has a fondness for the Enterprise.]
Yeah, I know what you mean. I never played chess a day in my life but now I know a complex space chess like I have been playing it my whole life.

They got pointed ears and green blood. And a whole lot of other shit, I won't bore you with their internal organs.
[ He figured he might like that. Even without too many memories, Bones knows Jim died for his ship. That's not nothing. ]
Think you can teach me, then? You'll smoke me at first, but I wouldn't mind learning, if it's something we used to do.
[ 👉👈 (OK, but he does want to kick Jim's ass if he can.) ]

[He has no idea if the chess thing is something they used to do together, but it being something they can do together now at least? He likes that.]
Yeah! I would love to teach you, maybe you will get good enough to stomp me. I will work on making their weird ass board. You should see this thing.

What's so different about it, then? Space chess? The pieces fly or something?
[ Even if they didn't, Bones just wants to do things with Jim... he'd never admit that's it, of course. ]

[ It's not any weirder than remembering Vulcans so, why not. ]
Where do the other guy's pieces go? All I'm seeing is one color.

I trust your work and all, but you don't strike me as the type to whittle down 32 individual chess pieces.
