Question for the newcomers.

Now, one would assume that James Tiberius Kirk would be a master at avoiding wounding himself. What, with having a phaser in his pants a ast majority of the time, and doing all sorts of combat-ey things, the man would be a pro at safety in general. Especially in modern times.

That said, the kitchen was a dangerous place, and knives even more so. But he's not totally to blame. In his time, there was less sharp objects, and more lazers of safety. That we're set to not cut through human (or other) flesh. There were setting for these things.

Knives, as Jim learned with agony, are not able to be programed, and you needed a wonderfully steady hand.

Of all the things Sigyn could have volunteered to do today, she would never know why she chose to do the one job she hated most; dog walking.

Beethoven (evidently, she assumed, named after the film, rather than the composer) was a 250lb, highly excitable St Bernard who needed at least three walks a day, and he was one of the only dogs Sigyn wasn't afraid of.

Today he was more excitable than usual, and as a result Sigyn was struggling to keep him under control, holding the lead tightly to stop him jumping up at people until a temporary loss of concentration on her part enabled him to jump up at a passing woman, put one giant paw on each of her shoulders, and leave a wet doggy kiss on her cheek before Sigyn managed to get him back on all fours.
