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?

Yeah, trying to explain this whole "we're all friends in here" thing to her is like pulling teeth.
But if you don't tell me where I can't come visit, Uncle Chris! What's her name?

Right. Safe.
Anyways, you should be able to look up maps according to quadrant, what planets and satellites are on it, by majority language, or alphabetically by largest celestial being, whichever suits your fancy.

Sure, but a pretty one.
Not gonna make you do anything you don't want, except stay on board. We need a doctor. You could try to be happy here, that's all. You're getting a share of our takes.

I mean that. Anyone lays a finger on you that you don't want and doesn't listen to you about it, I'll cut it off.
Fancy piece of coding, Rand. What can you do about the manifests and cargo logs of the freighters they got in the air?

Ha! They all figure it out in the end or the get the hell out of here. Reason this ship works so well. There's a reason the reputation exists in the first place.
Before I go I'll leave you a way to contact me. But that's it. Now that, is a secret.

Please. Like I haven't heard that one before.
Depends on if anyone actually bothered using a standard way of inputting them, or if everyone just used whatever system suited their fancy. Best case scenario, I can make them sing a Klingon opera. Worst case, they'll just hum.

Like I haven't heard fake promises like that before. And in that case I'll have to politely decline you offer Captain.

Yeah. Hopefully she'll stick around. She seems to be pretty handy with computers.
You never tell me anything fun.

I mean it. This is your home now, and people should act as such.
Well then, my manifests are at your disposal.

If I say I believe it, will it at least shut you up?
Oh lovely. More office work!

Which one was fake, not forcing you to do stuff, or the cut? Because I know you're a doctor. I'm not gonna ask you to be a bricklayer or a killer or anything. And you'll get your take same as the others.
We'll miss you.

You're so cute. Like an angry kitten.
It's coding, Rand. Not bringing me coffee. But you can bring me coffee if you want.

Even angry kittens have claws.
The day I bring you coffee is the day I cut my hair off.

Never hurts to have a few of those around.
And that is one of the reasons why I'm about to happily retire with a fortune. Besides, you wouldn't believe me if I told you who she was.

Goddamn right I am a doctor. But I don't trust for half a second that you'll all Robin Hood like the rumors say. Pirates are pirates.
We?

Nope.
You're marrying my mom? Cause she'll tell me where you live.

If you want me to fix this crap coding you'll stop with the kitten references. Sir.
I'd look good a lot of different ways.

I'm not Robin Hood. I steal from the rich and give to my crew. The poor can go get their own damn ship.
Yeah, I invite my bridge crew to dine with me once a week. Keeps me tuned in with their needs.

Got it. Ma'am.
Care to elaborate on that thought?

Your mother hasn't spoken to me since I recruited you actually, fair guess though.. You'll know how to get hold of me and if you need to know where I am I'll let you know. But not a moment before.

Don't feel special, she isn't talking to be, either. I think she's worried that I'll end up like dad. Which, I think you'll agree, would be a find way to end up, all things considered.
It's that security guy, isn't it? The one you had in for "consultations"?

I know what I am.
Yeah, well. You're invited to Tuesdays and Thursdays, standing invitation. Tuesdays for bridge crew, Thursdays for senior staff.
