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?

We just received this, Captain. I'm working on pinpointing the signal. Should we go to red alert?
TRANSMISSION
FROM: SHUTTLECRAFT KRYPTON
TO: USS ENTERPRISE
If you want your cute little navigator back, you will let us leave unmolested. If not, feel free to fire. We'll transmit coordinates where you can pick him up when we're safely out of here.

I understand. I'm not going to say it doesn't hurt, but we're still coming for you. You're an officer. You need to be on board your ship.
And Pavel. I love you. I'll never stop. I've always loved you.

Got it, thanks.
Hmm. If you have a second, remind Hikaru that the message lost a lot of text in transmission. The unfortunate result is likely not the original intent of it.

I have a weak signal. I'm not sure how clear the transmission will be, but you've got contact and I'll be able to improve it the longer you keep them talking.
Tying you in now, Captain.

Get in touch with command and turn over the info on that craft. I'll get a basic report ready for them asap. Turn 'em over to me if they get finicky of course.

We're both stupid I won't fight with you about who is stupider. But your message, you said Irina only wanted the real you and you were going with her?

That's good. I trust it's nothing Doctor McCoy can't handle?
That's alright. I don't mind waiting, as long as I know you are alright. Sir.
