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?

Don't we always? I don't intend to enrage her in the first place to find out.

Generally. You're always too stubborn to admit I'm right. Maybe, but I'd also never seen Elly angry at anything until she was pregnant with Anthony. You'll see.

No, you're too near sighted to see that I'm right usually. All women are not the same. And I've seen her mad before anyway so I won't be giving her any extra reason to, having to carrying our child will be taxing enough I'm sure.

Oh what, do you have a preferred female name I should be using? One you use on weekends? Otherwise I also have Toni (which if you were a girl would be dotted with a heart fyi), Tory, Gigi, Tonya, Toya and Giovanna.

Also I accept just calling you Bitch but I feel that's too common.

I actually had to be a girl for a week once- long story- and my name was Veronica.

Stop laughing.

Oh lay off. I was just a kid, we were hiding out and Rin said it was the best way to escape notice.

You should be, my evening was going to shit and now it's wonderful.

Yeah pretty sure I already told you 'never'. Next time I see you? Laughing. So. Hard.

It's hard to laugh when you're chewing on your teeth.

I haven't told you that story? It was goddamn Number One that's who. First time we met. How have I never told you that one? It's a great story.

I dunno, embarrassed? But hey, don't worry about it! She's a bit crazy like that. Always prancing around 'fleet headquarters like she owns the place just cause her father was the head honcho back in his day. Keeps saying she's going to catch the infamous George Lowther before me. I can't wait to see the look on her face when I'm the one bringing you in, not her. And when you slip right out of her fingers again later.

Like fuck I'm embarrassed, she hit me because I kissed her, it was brilliant. I'm cuffed, she's supposed to be interrogating me and I manage to steal a kiss. She breaks my nose, I laughed, called her a hell of a woman and the crew beamed me out about 2 minutes later. Perfect fucking meeting. She's hated me since.

I can barely imagine it. It's gonna be a hell of a day. I can't wait to see it.

Then we'll both be laughing.

You know last time I was over at HQ I heard a rumour that one of her tricks had knocked her up. Weird timing, but she might now even be there when this all goes to fruition. If she even keeps it, I mean.

It'll be a very good day.

No shit? When were you there? Like she'd keep it anyway. And she'd better be there when we pull this, I have scores to settle with her.

Couple weeks ago, "fishing out your location" and setting the rumours in motion about me planning to go all out after you. Yeah really, a baby might get in the way of her career but then I also heard rumours she's retiring soon, so it's really a good thing we moved the plan up and all.

Crazy coincidence, huh, all three of us retiring around the same time?
