startrek_diaryThose of you who are familiar with the TOS episodes might remember the fantastic episode in which the Enterprise comes across a planet with 1920s gangster culture.
So, in gentle reboot fashion, Our Heroes are toddling along, being Heroes and Righting Wrongs and whatnot when they encounter a planet identical to Earth was. In 1969.
Why 1969? Well, my friends. 69 makes me giggle.
Also, 1969 had a lot of important events.
January 20 – Richard Milhous Nixon succeeds Lyndon Baines Johnson as the 37th President of the United States of America.
January 30 – The Beatles give their last public performance, on the roof of Apple Records.
April 4 – Dr. Denton Cooley implants the first temporary artificial heart.
June 3- British singer Elton John releases his first album, Empty Sky, in the United Kingdom
June 28 – The Stonewall riots in New York City mark the start of the modern gay rights movement in the U.S.
July 20 – Apollo program: The lunar module Eagle lands on the lunar surface. Neil Armstrong takes his first steps on the Moon.
August 9 – Members of a cult led by Charles Manson murder Sharon Tate, (who was 8 months pregnant), and her friends.
September 2 – The first automatic teller machine in the United States is installed in Rockville Centre, New York.
October 5 – Monty Python's Flying Circus first airs on BBC One.
November 10 – Sesame Street premieres on the National Educational Television (NET) network.
November 15 – Regular colour television broadcasts begin on BBC1 and ITV in UK.
December 1 – Vietnam War: The first draft lottery in the United States is held since World War II.
This was also the year that Women were allowed into the FFA and HIV first hit the United States.
Look at all that. So much that we take for granted. Imagine (all the people? Living side by side?) what a year like that would look like 300 years after, rather than 40. What amuses people, what horrifies them? And what just plain confuses them?

If I know Kiki he's either in the gym or being emo in his quarters. As long as we get Chekov back soon we should be fine and Chekov can be the one explaining why he's beaming strange places with a crazy chick.

Pavel blocked me from his PADD. Little brat.

Whoopee. Okay, I'm headed to the science labs. Spock, let's see if my med stuff will mesh with the ship's sensors enough to detect the general location within that area of anyone with human physiology.

Good show. However, this news isn't going to remain confined. For instance, I told Kevin three minutes ago. That means all of the lower decks should be aware by now.

Crossed messages.
How on Io would I know? No one has beamed down yet, if that's what you mean.

Yes that's what I mean, the holy trio isn't arguing up here so they're either running around preparing or they're already done there. Too bad it's not the last. I'll try to stall Kiki.

That blows. He probably just needs a couple more hours to chill out. You two'll work it out

Flash him. Girl parts keep him confused for several minutes.

Okay, looking at the bounce - its not blocked. His PADD sent me this weird message and then it's not on the network anymore.
Is he up there?

Oh that's weird. He ducked out to check or fix something whatever. Said he'd be back in a minute.

That only works if he's in the room. And I'm not flashing the entire bridge again Even for Kiki.

Even for Kiki's emotional health you won't get the twins out? What a shame. You get them out for tequila. Kevin has holo evidence.
Caroline, to quickly revert back to the problem at hand, I'm picking up a warp signature which is interfering with the transporter system. It isn't ours. Can you confirm?

That'd be great. Please do that. I've got a security team ready for retrieval as soon as we have a decent lock.

And now I know whose files I'm hacking this weekend....
I hate the universe. Yeah I'm picking up something. Sensors aren't doing well in this atmosphere though.

He's not on the ship. Caz. He's not being read what the fuck.

Date: 2010-04-16 10:31 pm (UTC)[TRANSPORTER ROOM] to [BRIDGE]. I'm picking up trace warp signatures, it's possible that Chekov and his companion have boarded a craft and are trying to break through the atmosphere.

Chekov transported down without permission about an hour ago. With the "guest" in Sickbay. We're trying to arrange an away team to bring him back, but... fuck, Sulu, I know this is the last thing you want to hear but he went willingly.

Oops I was supposed to distract you so you didn't notice. It's being worked on if that's any comfort
