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?

Great. I decide to do some work because I can't sleep and end up with a huge project. Just my luck. I'm on my way down to collect it all then. Should be there in less than ten. Try to have it all collected for me by then.

I'll have a lad type up the ones written on old sandwich and napkins and send someone to transcribe the ones in the Jeffries tubes, but I can't promise ye ten minutes.

Don't make me bounce you again.
No. You're just too lowly to see my perfection.

I can do all of that. I'll just need you to show me exactly where in the Jefferies tubes the notes are.

We all appreciate it. Poor girl's been through a lot in her time, I know it's not an easy job.

Now, she's a fine lady, in grand style. She just needs a little attention is all.

Nay, don't worry about that. The children need something to do and there's always a chance the notes will need updating anyway.

Well at least let me type up whatever's on the scrap paper. There's nothing to do on this damn ship. I'm going crazy.

She's a dream and a half when she's in good repair. And damn impressive even when she isn't. They don't make ships like her anymore.

Here's a secret: I've got some real food stashed in one of my bags. A few strawberries. Fresh. I can bring them down with me and we can enjoy them together?

She's a dream and a vision and a magnificent lady. Just needs a good gentle touch inside her and she'll be purring gorgeously.

I will build you any toy or contrivance you ask for fresh strawberries.
