Side Game: Dystopia

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

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?

It's a damn fine way to go, though she'd shoot us both to hear us say it.

Since I have I ever told you shit about my sex life? What makes you think I'll start now? And no. He's too young to retire.

I think he's with whoever official person was assigned to hunt him down actually. Torrid affair.

If I gotta die, I'm doing it with guns blazing. None of this growing old bullshit.

Come on, Cappy. Just this once? Also, is it bad form to sleep with a hot doctor is he wants you dead?

Fair enough, I used to say the same.

I'll tell you who she is once we're both home free. You'll be impressed, I'll tell you that much. Bad form to have a doctor who wants you dead but otherwise, hell go after him.

This whole waiting thing sucks. Hurry up and finish the changeover so I can "capture" you and retire with a nice fat pension already.

Then you got old.

Fine. Tease.

I figure he'll get over that and either develop sexy Stockholm syndrome or realize that we're actually not terrible people, just trying to make a living.

"sexy Stockholm syndrome"

Ahahaha oh, Jim. <3

Yep. It's not as bad as you might think.

He'll get over it, just about everyone does. And sexy stockholm syndrome is much less sexy than you might think.

^_^ Yay, Pike.

Yeah, yeah hold your horses. I'm doing you a favor, don't make me change my mind.

[theoreticalpixy.livejournal.com]

OK I NEED TO GO NOW. I'll be around tonight, we can figure out shenanigans later. Pike is retiring with the woman who has been hunting him down for several years who is One if you like (I do no surprise there, but Pike's not gonna say shit on the subject), he has something planned with his old friend Tony, etc.

You make funny old man noises when you sit down.

I know. He's just hostile as fuck right now. And of course it isn't. I was mostly joking. I was a crew that can work without me, and will come and get me if I get stolen.

Yeah, I'm doing you a favor too. I can't believe you're really trusting that little snot with your ship. You really think he can get away from the Starfleet's security without slowing you down?

Very well. I will expect you in five minutes then. I expect you've done the research I asked of you?

I think this is like the third side-game I've played Spock. How did that happen?

Of course, Mr Spock. I have always done the research you ask for.

This sucks. I don't want to be here on the bridge with the geniu capin boy, I want to be in my bed with you. Why couldn't you have studied navigation so that we could be on the bridge together?

Because "Captain" Lowther (his real name? Discuss.) needed a chief of security and I kicked that Galloway guy's face across the room. And I'm hot.

That is very interesting. I wonder if you could put this information to good use without help?

Yeah, no way that's Lowther, he's too young. Looks kinda like posters I've seen of Captain Kirk- you remember the legends, the guy that went out in the biggest explosion this side of the Mutara Nebula?- but he's too young for him too. Maybe a nephew or something.

You sent Galloway running with his tail between his legs and looked hot doing it. I just wish you were up here instead of wherever the hell you really are so I could enjoy you being hot.
