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?

AWESOME.

Sorry, no one was around so I went to be social with family. Which mostly means sitting in the living room to play my game instead of hiding in my room in front of the lappy.

Also, if you wanna do shit with Number One I'm game. Just give me a run-down. Also, does Tony know about her, and is she in on The Plan?

Well, seeing as I haven't been actively blocking you for awhile now, one would normally assume the answer to be 'no'.

But I want to talk to you. I'm lonely and the triplets are useless conversation partners.

.....and by 'no' i meant 'yes' *facepalm* I internalized tony's comm as 'are you done ignoring me' and did not double check.

[identity profile] captlebubbles.livejournal.com 2010-06-04 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Which is what I typed. I think you meant are you "still" ignoring me would have gotten a no.

[identity profile] theoreticalpixy.livejournal.com 2010-06-04 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
argh yes, I'm getting minced. Brain go poof.

Pike meant 'yes i'm done ignoring you' he's just saying it teasingly. The end of Pike's comm should say 'Yes'

We have to work together, I want you to know that I'm not going to do anything to ruin my crew.

Fair enough. So you know- Boyce, our last doctor, was formulating a nutritional supplement for me, but there was something in it that I reacted poorly to. We don't know what. If you have down time, it's in the records.

Tony assumed that no meant no. Also I have to go shower, brb ~3o minutes.

Pretty words but I like proof more. Look, I told you I'm not gonna run and I'm giving you the damned benefit of a doubt until I've seen more.

Alright, I'l look it over. Once I get a handle on it I'll have you in and probably test some things.

feel free to point out that Pike did not say that. my mistake can be Pike's. He was clearly multitasking.

Proof takes time. You and I both know that.

No rush. Unlike other pirates I can name, I don't have much chance of getting scurvy.

We forgive you!

I'm entertained by the idea of 'oh shit spy' ngl. I feel like that could be ~fun. maybe late night this game day she sends the message? Sometime after the officer's dinner.

As far as one I figure, more badass Illyran One ish probably. She's high up on whatever fleet area that is tracking team and they've meet a number of times during close calls/etc, has interrogated him before. and I may currently be writing their interrogation conversations don't judge me

She *knows* he's Lowther but has no proof and then over time he earns her respect and turns her onto the idea of the fleet being not all it's cracked up to be and she starts covering for him instead of really going after him blah blah torrid affair begins(he's totally been hitting on her since they met) and goes on a couple years(?) and eventually he gets her to agree to runaway with him as he retires. She is very much in on the plan and is part of how Pike and Kirk will be escaping I would imagine.

Tony does not know about her. He's probably gotten a similar 'yes, I have a woman waiting for me, no i'm not telling you who' thing that Pike gave Jim but that's it. I'm sure Tony bothers him excessively for it.

/Pixy worked out this Pike's backstory on the drive home tuesday. It kept me sane. He was an orphan and actually fleet for a little while but went rogue pretty early on.

BED.

But Pixy, I'm still waiting for McCoy to realize that George Lowther was an 18th century English pirate.

I was wondering where the name came from...../not smart lately.

Why I agreed to stay the year.

Heh, well it's something to keep me busy. Wouldn't mind the challenge.

NIGHT.

[identity profile] captlebubbles.livejournal.com 2010-06-04 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
All right, got it. Tony informs me that he suspects Chris's "lady friend" is probably torrid, and One is probably on his list of suspects but he doesn't have anything to go on other than suspicion. He says he's going to gloat a lot the first time Chris brings her to visit on Karzaxx V (the name of the planet he's buying).

w00000t. Pike's probably tried to hint that it's like another pirate captain to throw Tony off the trail. Though Pike refers to One as 'That fleet bitch' most of the time which is probably less masking than he thinks it is. Pike informs me his is aware of that and will retaliate accordingly.

Damn. I was distracted. That should say yes. The sentence doesn't even make sense the that way, you should have realized.

[identity profile] captlebubbles.livejournal.com 2010-06-04 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, One is going to be completely taken in by Lucy (she never had babies in this verse but kinda sorta always wanted one) so she'll be sufficiently distracted while Tony and Chris bitch at each other. (There's this scene in the Pokemon AU where Tony and Chris are squabbling and it escalades into a battle, and One just rolls her eyes and is all "here we go again" and Vinny (Gary's traveling companion) is all "are they always like this?" and One is all "yeah, ever since the first day they met. Then they end up in a draw and Number One is all "great, another draw" because apparently they never can manage a clear victory).
