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?

Have I mentioned lately how much shit I'm going to give you when you do finally fall for someone? Because I am.
It's nothing to apologize for.

I'm never going to fall in love. I'm immune.
It's not a desirable trait. Things take time, I know.

No one's immune.
They do. But it's part of who you are. I don't expect it to change overnight.

Fuck off, I'm not that old.
I'm a doctor to keep people safe when they can't do it themselves, doesn't mean I enjoy seeing them beat to hell. No patients would be boring as hell but at least it'd mean they're alright.

No you're not. There's nothing wrong with you.
Find a way to balance it. You've managed alright so far.

I mean it. There's nothing inherently wrong with you, and there's nothing you been through that you can't overcome eventually.
Because you like him and think he's pretty.

Right.
I'll get you another one before I head back to my quarters. But really, I have to wonder at what kind of person you are if you don't know where you're towel is.

You're not much older than me, are you? Done a lot for 33, though.
Only for you, Bones.

There's a lot inherently wrong with me. You're just not paying attention.
Normally I don't dream about people.

Wouldn't know, you look about 12. Mid/late twenties assume?
I don't think getting fucked in the divorce of the century counts as an accomplishment.
Don't call me that.

Late twenties, yeah. It's in my file. Big fucking day, my birthday.
I mean, you're a doctor, you got a kid, you're a pirate. Seems like a lot more than I've done.
Call you what, Bones?
