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?

You don't know me and you don't know how I feel. Don't pretend you do.
And how can you love someone who killed your father?
Why did you stop tracking us?

As long as I'm walking, you'll be behind me kicking my ass, won't you?
No problem, Rand.

I know more than you think.
I don't. Chris wasn't the one who killed him.
Because I didn't need to anymore. Because suddenly it no longer mattered.

Of course. In fact, sounds like good fun to me.

You don't know me. Don't think you do.
But he didn't stop it. He think my dad was a hero.
Why.

I'm sure.
How did Scotty like his drawing?

But kicking your ass means I'm not always going to be easy to get along with, got it?
I never said it was for Scotty.

Okay.
Maybe. Could he have stopped it? Could he have stopped you? I wonder, how far does a person's hatred have to stretch to satisfy you?
You ask a lot of questions. When do I get to start asking you?

Yeah, you're a relentless harpy and I'm an egotistical manchild. Got it.
But it is.

Stopped me from what? I want to know why you spent years following me and my mother and then turn around and fell in love with her former lover.
Whenever you want. Nothing stopping you.
Why did you stop tracking us?

Good.
Well. He said he liked it. But it wasn't very good so I think he was lying.

If you were going to do something that in your head was the one and only way to accomplish whatever it was that you were trying to accomplish, could anyone have stopped you from it, even Chris? I chased you because my boss said so. I fell in love because my heart said so. I stopped chasing you because it didn't matter anymore.
Why do you hate your father?

Glad we understand. Also I'll be fucking people when I want to. If I tell you I'm busy, don't come in unless you want to join.
I bet if you snuck down, it would be stuck to the warp core with a little yellow magnet.

Depends on what it was.
I don't hate him. I'm angry that I didn't matter enough to stay alive for. But I don't hate him.

If I come in, that's because there's some business that needs to be taken care of in order to ensure we don't crash and die and you'll stop what your doing if you don't want me cutting Little Georgie or whatever you call it off.
He probably trashed it and forgot about it.

If it's not an emergency, I get to keep going. And I'll sign what needs to be signed without stopping.
I doubt it. Go look.

That is disturbing on so many levels, but okay.
No, you go look. You're the one that thinks it's there anyways.

Good.
Are you going to believe me if I tell you it's there?

Date: 2010-06-11 12:08 am (UTC)Recipient: Lowther, George
Of course not. Obviously you're going to lie about it.

So don't waste my time and go look.

I'm not looking because I don't care what he did with it.

If it was something that would have kept your crew alive?
Fair enough. I was mad at my father for a long time after he died, too.

I don't know.
Your father didn't choose to die.
Why are you helping Pike with this suicide mission if you love him?
