Side Game: Dystopia

In 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 may be a brat but you're a 50-year-old woman who resorts to calling names. Grow up.

Sender: Chapel, Christine
Recipient: Lowther, George

No, I haven't. But I certainly am not against it. Especially if the two are you and Leonard.

I thought you said you were hurrying?

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Chapel, Christine

Fair enough. We just want to make sure not to hurt you.

Had to stop and comm my evil stepmother. Be there in a few.

Sender: Lefler, Una
Recipient: Lowther, George

I haven't resorted to calling names. You are a brat. You accuse me of trying to take you "father" away from you but the fact is I always knew that he wasn't going to leave you and I wouldn't ask him to. But the fact is you won't be the center of his attention and you don't like that because now you'll have to actually share. Only a brat doesn't like to share. So grow up and stop crying just because something isn't going your way.

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Lefler, Una

Calling me the same name doesn't really hold up your argument there, One. And your use of sarcastic quote marks is not appreciated.

As for the rest of your little note, you're wrong. There were twenty-two LONG years where I didn't see him at all. And now he's family. I didn't like the idea of him retiring even before I knew he was moving on to someone and way before I knew it was you. Pike is the only person in my life who EVER gave a damn about me. So losing him is a big deal, and I'm gonna need you to try and understand that, if you think you can.

Sender: Lefler, Una
Recipient: Lowther, George

You're not losing him, okay? You think I'm going to whisk him off the ends of the galaxy and keep him from you? Even if I wanted to, which I don't, because I want him to be happy and for some reason he thinks you're actually worth the trouble, I couldn't. So get that through your thick skull and stop being such a child about this. You're not losing anyone.

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Lefler, Una

Having someone at my side for almost every day for the past five years and then having him retire and not be around anymore feels a lot like loss.

Sender: Chapel, Christine
Recipient: Lowther, George

I trust the both of you. And if it's too much for me, you do remember the safeword, right? I don't plan on using it though.

Then I suppose I can forgive you. I'll be waiting.

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Chapel, Christine

I know, but your little body can only take so much. And the doctor is VERY thorough.

I know. All laid out for me like the best buffet.

Sender: Lefler, Una
Recipient: Lowther, George

All right, how about you try to understand something. I have spent fifteen years keeping my relationship a secret and I have been able to see him once maybe every three or four years if I was lucky. I finally have a chance to be with the man I love and all you can think about is you, you, you. You are losing someone, you don't get to see him every day, you don't like it. Stop being such a spoiled child and grow up. I have waited a very long time for this and I will not let anyone stand in my way, least of all a whiny idiot like you.

Sender: Chapel, Christine
Recipient: Lowther, George

It's the doctor's thoroughness that gives me the peace of mind to know that you two will do whatever you can to not hurt me. And like I said, I trust the both of you to listen to me if I do have to tell you to stop or go more slowly.

That's right, your personal little treat.

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Lefler, Una

So if I feel sad about him not being around I'm a whiny brat, but when you don't get to see him it's SACRIFICE? That's a little hypocritical, don't you think?

Of course I'm self centered. I'm fucking human, we all are. Pike is, too. I'm never EVER going to try to keep him from you. I love him. Do you know that? I've never loved anyone in my life, but I love him. And he deserves to be happy.

I don't trust you. I don't like that you don't give straight answers to any of my questions. I don't like that you're presumptuous and rude and think the universe fucking revolves around your needs. I don't think you're good enough for him. But he does. And that's what matters. I would never do anything to hurt him. I just wish I had the same faith in you.

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Chapel, Christine

We're gonna take good care of you. Our girl. Let you feel what it is to be needed, wanted by the both of us at the same time. And when you're done, we'll both hold onto you and kiss the shivers off your skin.

And what a sweet one you are.

Sender: Lefler, Una
Recipient: Lowther, George

So now you're a self-riteous whiny brat. You know what I don't like? I don't like how before even meeting me you decided I wasn't good enough for Chris. Presumptuous? Look in a mirror. You think I'm going to make my past an open book just because Chris likes you? No, I don't give straight answers because I don't owe you any. You haven't done anything to earn my respect and until you do, you're not going to get any straight answers because you don't deserve any.

And maybe I don't think you deserve all the attention that Chris has given you. Maybe I think he's wasting his time if he thinks you can actually become a better man than your father was.

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Lefler, Una

I don't want an open book from you. I want to know what made you stop chasing my family when CLEARLY you still hate Saint George. That's all. And you won't even tell me that. You fucked up the first twelve years of my life. I dreaded coming home because I was SURE I'd find a one burned in the door and my mother and brother dead or missing. I had nightmares about you taking me away. And you won't even do me the FAVOR of knowing why you just stopped.

Yeah, I hate you. Because YOU HUNTED ME. I was BORN the day my father did what he did. You forgave Pike. You don't forgive me. He was an actual adult. I was a tadpole. Explain that.

Sender: Lefler, Una
Recipient: Lowther, George

You think maybe the decision was personal, maybe there was a lot to it that I don't want to tell you? I never said I blamed you for any of it. I just said I still blamed George Kirk for killing my father. I hate the man who did it. I never once said I blamed you or anyone else for it. You just assumed I blamed you for it.

Sender: Chapel, Christine
Recipient: Lowther, George

As much as I love the sweet talk and all of your gentle promises, what I really need is for you to hurry up and get your ass down here so you and Leonard can fuck me until I forget how to scream.

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Lefler, Una

Personal or no, I have a right to know why my life went the way it did. If you met St. George, wouldn't you want to know why he ripped your family apart?

>Maybe I think he's wasting his time if he thinks you can actually become a
>better man than your father was.
That says you still hate him, and me by proxy.

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Chapel, Christine

Yes, in a minute. Still dealing with the harpy.

Sender: Chapel, Christine
Recipient: Lowther, George

Poor dear. We'll be waiting here for you so that we can cheer you up as soon as you're done with her.

Sender: Lefler, Una
Recipient: Lowther, George

Think what you like then. I told you that I never forgave George and I told you that I don't hate you for what he did. You're reading the wrong thing from what I'm saying and you have no intention of stopping. So why should I bother repeating myself?

Sender: Lefler, Una
Recipient: Pike, Christopher

Tell your boy to learn some manners before he comms me again. You really should teach him that whining and crying gimme gimme gimme isn't going to get him anywhere.

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Lefler, Una

Because I do want to understand. But if you give up then I never will. Explain it.

Sender: Lowther, George
Recipient: Chapel, Christine

I'm sorry. As soon as I get a straight answer from her, I promise.

Sender: Lefler, Una
Recipient: Lowther, George

Well then, for starters, understand this: the universe does not revolve around you. I was not hunting you, and I was not hunting your brother. I was hunting Winona, a woman wanted by the Federation practically since she was out of puberty for piracy. My orders were to find her and bring her in, and I was following those orders. I had my own personal, private reasons for stopping. You don't get to know them because they're none of your business.
