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?

I have permission to test my dexterity any way I find fit and if you have a problem with that I would like to ask why you have waited so long to bring your presence to our attentions. Either you were not on duty at the time which would require a little discussion with your superior or you were, how they say, enjoying the show?

I do not know how you are with masturbation, officer Painter, but in my experience when, how you say, the bear is starting to leave his hibernation he will not be distracted by any foxes? Also, this is a medical bay and your duty is to make sure I do not harm myself da? A smarter officer may have realized that you could simply watch my vitals instead of me?
Of course, then my vitals would be jumping all over the place, but not in a sawing hand off kind of way, so your mission to protect me would be completed simply.

Well, consider my lesson learned. Next time you start going at it when there are people around, I'll be sure to make you put it away quickly instead of letting you carry on. And, by the way, Lt. Sulu, what's your excuse?

Nothing to be nice about. To me, you are perfect.

Well when I do I see a pale, half-grown post-pubescent boy, so I don't think your argument carries much weight. However, to each his own, I suppose.

I would like you to come into my room and say that to me yes? Maybe not so brave when not behind glass and not protected by restraints?

Wow, Rich. Nice. Nice thing to say to a guy and his boyfriend. Real classy.
For the record, he is handsome and kind and gentle and sexy and brilliant. Just because you don't like sex doesn't mean the rest of us have to be eunuchs when perfection presents itself.

If you don't want to be insulted, don't start pleasuring yourself when you're under watch by Security. Mr. Sulu, you asked if I had seen him, and I told you what I saw. If you didn't want my opinion, you should never have asked.

Or- and I know this idea may seem novel to you- you could try waiting until you are in private, or at least in interested company- before jerking off. That strikes me as far more rude than not sharing your biased opinion of the vizkid.

I haven't touched myself, Painter. My hands are a little confined at the moment.
What the matter, did Landon start begging you to fuck her again?

Well, I think we've had enough of the friendly banter for one day! Richie, shut up. Sulu, you also shut up. Chekov, put your dick back in your pants. We're all going to pretend this whole conversation never happened, okay? Okay.

Actually I tell him on a pretty regular basis. But he was right; Ensign Chekov was being very inconsiderate. There are better ways to practice dexterity, ways that don't make your guards uncomfortable, and even if he forgot we were there, when he was reminded that should have been the end of it.

The grapevine has you in a comitted relationship. Any truth to it?

It's true. Try not to die of shock.

I'd appreciate it if people didn't get off in my sickbay. It's unsanitary. I've had to warn four people about that this month, so don't take it personally.
Feeling better?

And it's with someone who serves with us? Under us?
Does that mean, if someone were in a hypothetical relationship with another crew member, that would be okay?
no subject

It is.
It means I'm jumping through hoops right now to make sure command doesn't take action against us and part of the reason we're going to be able to come forward is because we're married/getting married. Apply at will, if someone is in a hypothetical relationship with someone in their chain of command coming out with it will require adjustments. And I can't honestly say to what extent. Sometimes the fleet gets picky of fraternization regs and sometimes they let things slide.

I see. Well, I'll keep that in mind, should the situation ever apply to me.
