startrek_diaryIn the world you are entering, there is a Federation. There is an Enterprise. There is even a Captain Kirk.
But in this world, they are not as you know them.
George Lowther, 27, is the captain of the pirate ship known throughout the galaxy as the Enterprise. Of course, he's not the real George Lowther, and neither was the man before him, a fellow called Chris Pike. They're in the process of trading the identity, so Pike can retire, having made his fortune. The new Lowther, real name James T. Kirk, has hired on a crew, and they're off on their first voyage, affiliated with the Federation of Interstellar Pirates.
So. How's the crew doing? And, of course, who's fucking?

I thought this thing was set to go in like, 6 months? How am I gonna know by then?
Just out of curiosity, why do you love her? I mean, she's pretty and all, but what's the draw besides that?

Yes, she's a very lucky little girl in that regard.
I agree, that would be best to avoid issues. And soon, just in case.

We'll always take care of her. As long as she's good.
Tonight. We can have dinner and talk it over.

How long has the name George Lowther been floating around? 50 years? I'm 27, Christine. I've taken the name from someone else. Do you need to know more?

What's the point of taking on a name if you're not going to use it, own it...make it your own? What's the reason for the sudden decision to use your real name, even if it is in private?

Because the name Lowther is going to go out in a spectacular way.
George was my father's name and it creeps me out when people call me that. My mother wanted me to be him enough for the rest of my life.

Oh.
Fair enough. Jim. That'll take some getting used to, but I can certainly call you that.
I see the Doctor coming out of his office. Does that mean you're on your way down?

Just between us. And Rand and Pike know. But outside of that circle, I am always ALWAYS George Lowther. And if you need any more information, you can ask.
It does, if you still want me.

I'll remember that.
I mean, you're still the same person right? A name doesn't change who you are. It may take some getting used to, but as long as you're not going to kill me I think I'm okay with it. Other than it being your father's name, is there any other reason you decided to let us know?

Some things. When I was a little girl I wanted a pony and when my father wouldn't get me one I cried and said he was the worst father ever. I've never forgiven myself for that. Why the sudden concern?

I'm still me. I don't kill unless I have to, I'm still running this ship the way I was trained to by the last Lowther.
I let you know because I like you guys. And when the big reveal comes, I don't want you to think I was lying to you for however long. If we're going to make a go at a troika, you deserve some level of honesty.

Because Pike told me about Chekov. And I have a large problem with kids being taken from their fathers. But you don't.

Well, as long as you're doing it for honesty's sake and not about to kill us or propose to us, then it doesn't make a difference to me. Thank you for being honest.
It doesn't matter what your name is, I still want you. So hurry up and get your ass down here.

I didn't know she was pregnant until later. Besides, it wasn't my call anyway, it was Jon's. He's the one who said it would be a bad idea to give Andrei an heir after we were going through all that trouble to lock him up. If I'd known what he was planning I might have put a stop to that but I'm not going to apologize for it.

Oh god. I don't know which one of those prospects is more terrifying.
Hurrying. By the way:

So the answer is no, you feel no remorse about your previous actions. Got it.

Whether I feel remorse about anything is none of your business. I don't owe you any explanations or any apologies.

Look, lady. We're going to be part of each other's lives. You're having his kid. I'm his son. We're gonna have to work it out. The first thing I said you was that I was sorry about our fathers and the way that all went. You then started in telling me that I hated Saint George.
I'm not going anywhere. You are not taking my father from me and you will not be rid of me until I'm stardust, or he is. So learn to love me.

See if you still feel that way in a few minutes.
You ever had two partners at once before?
