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?

What's there to decide? Either you missed me or you didn't. I could always go back to Jim. I'm sure he could find a use for me.

You will not go back to Jim. You will come down to sickbay and I'll show you exactly what I thought of your time away.

And if I don't? What are you going to do then?

If I ever find any of your underclothes in my cabin again, you'll regret it.

Excuse me?

Then I will come and find you and drag your disobedient little ass back to sickbay where it belongs.

Sorry darling, they made me do my job and I just got your message. I'll talk to the idiot if you want me to. Anything specific you want me to tell/not tell him?

Is that a promise?

Black, "CM" embroidered on them? On the floor of my closet?

I expected as much. You should, please. Tell him whatever you feel comfortable with. I haven't filled him in on too much yet, but he'll know most of it soon enough. I trust your judgement.

Yes dear. So how did he react to the news of your impending paternity?

That is a threat and I suggest you don't make me carry it out.

Thank you. He's angry at the idea of going through with this with a child on the line. Accusing me of acting like his father. And upset at the thought of losing me though he won't say it outright. i've been talking him through things as much as possible.

Really now? Because I don't think I feel like going back to sickbay right now.

Not mine, sorry. Try Charity Marguerite?

Just got word, she'll be contacting you in time. Not sure now or later.

And I wanted to do this in person but If she decides to talk to you now you should hear it from me first. She's Number One. That Number One. Surprise.

You can hit me later tonight.

Oh you think it sounds fun now, but if I have to hunt you down I can promise you will be a very unsatisfied little girl when I'm done with you.

I was expecting as much. Try not to tear each other's throats out when you talk to her.

She has a tail. These are not her panties. Fine. I'll check the rest of the CMs.

And my reward if you don't?

Or you could just toss them and figure whoever it is has learned their lesson.

Pike, my father killed her father with a suicide bomb. How the fuck is this going to go well?
