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?

I never said it was for a him. I mean, it is. But how are you so sure that maybe I didn't mean it for that Orion or for a nurse or some other person?

I'm pretty sure you drew a certain chief engineer giving my ship a hug with little red hearts all around them. Odd gift for the Orion girl.

Or you're a kick-ass one with a crush on a man. It's okay. I won't tell.

So I have been told. I do, I really do. Thank you. I know it's a lot to ask and I'm not expecting miracles. But she's here to stay so there's plenty of time.

It may take a little time but you'll win her over. And you've got me on your side.

But I still get to be godfather? Even if she hates me?

You still get to be godfather if I have any say in it.

What am I supposed to do on a date? I'm pretty sure it's not going to be like the holos. I don't...I don't want to look like an idiot.

Yes, that as well.
I want her to like me. And I want the kid to like me, too.

You are asking the wrong man for dating advice. The only person I ever took on a date was... well. I've never been on one either. Just get to know him, decide if it's something you want to do again?

She will, it just might take a little while. Considering your propensity for icecream and coloring books I think you're quite safe on that front.

I um. You're my dad and stuff, right? But I already have a Winona. I don't have to think of her as that, do I?
And it better. If your kid hates me I'm gonna hate it right back.
