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?

Okay, let's try this again.
Thank you for the consideration, Yeoman.
(Now you say, "You're welcome" without telling me what a used diaper you think I am.)

I don't think you're a used diaper.

I kinda have to think that, Pike. Otherwise I'd be stardust like good ol dad by now.
Do they?

Well, that's the vibe you give off. Should it be harsher? Human garbage? A waste of skin?

Your files full of holes, I wasn't about to assume anything.
Don't fucking mention my daughter.

You talk too much to be an inanimate object.

No you don't. There are other options and you can't keep closing yourself off forever.
Yes. They do.

Anything you want to know, I'll tell you.
Sorry, honestly didn't know the topic was off limits. Won't happen again.

I did offer "waste of skin". What about mudflea? Does mudflea work?

Now that would just be an insult to mudfleas.
Your towel is in your quarters. Your decorating skills suck.

How old was dad when he met Winona? When they had Sam? When he died? And what have I done? I'm a fuckup. He was halfway to stardust by now.
They seem to, but I don't trust it.

Well, help me out here! I only have so many options.
Thank you. I decorated?

All the options in the world still wouldn't leave me enough choices to find a name for you that wouldn't insult another simply by means of comparison. Sir.
No, you didn't. What kind of person doesn't decorate their own home?

Can we just agree that I am unfortunately awesome?
I have some pictures and stuff. I just don't accumulate stuff like that.

Well, you are unfortunate.
Why not?

Glad we agree.
No point in it, is there? I'm not a sentimental guy.

For once.
No, I don't suppose you would be.

It had to happen sooner or later.
What do I want to remember? My father I never met? The mother who didn't care? The stepfather who liked to knock me around for giggles? My family is here. Pike. I don't need to remember what I have.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 09:47 pm (UTC)Recipient: Lowther, George
But what about when he's not? Don't you want something to remember him by then? Wouldn't it be easier for you to start collecting memories of him now while he's still here with you instead of after he's left?

I have memories. I'll never forget, will I? You saw the little stuffed dragon? He gave me that when I was born.

I suppose so.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 10:00 pm (UTC)Recipient: Lowther, George
Really? Because the only question I have is why the fake name and I doubt that's one you're willing to share. Everyone's got a past, I don't care as long as it doesn't interfere.
Wouldn't be out here if it wasn't. Be home with her like I should be.

How're your quarters decorated?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-07 10:05 pm (UTC)Recipient: McCoy, Leonard
Because it's safer than my real one. Read my file close enough, there are clues. Hell, it should be obvious by looking at me.
I'm sorry.

He started young and ended young, it's not the same. Barely anyone does all that in the time he did. I was just a cocky pilot at your age, not a thing to my name.
Maybe someday you will.
