Side Game: Dystopia

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?

Because of what you and Pike have been telling me. I'm not taking it on alone. If we get chased by the Giant Killer, it's not because we're pirates. It's because I'm George Lowther. And you all agreed to take that on. So I'll take your baggage while you hold mine. Get it?

Then you move on. Enjoy it while it lasts and if you have to you pick up the pieces and move onto the next thing.

I'm not...you don't have to do that. I agreed to serve you. Not the other way around.

I signed a contract, too, in which I agreed to protect your persona dn your possessions to the best of my ability. I take that seriously.

You and Marla McGivers. He's bringing in Harris and then after lunch he's got Ling and I've got Weiss.

Okay. I'll make a note of it. I didn't want to bother going through anyone's records if either of you had already cleared them. What was the verdict on McGivers?

Also, where the hell did you two find this Russian whizkid? His background is disgustingly perfect.

McGivers was a nay. Pike cleared her.

Chekov? His father did business with my Pike. He found us.

No offense, but why would you let him on this ship? Kid's got his whole life ahead of him. With a mind like his he could do anything. And now he's working with pirates. He's not screwed up or hiding from anything like the rest of us.

Chekov? We can, what is particular bothers her about him?

Are you scared about having the kid?

She thinks he pings up too squeaky clean. I mean, kid's 17, but she has a point.

It just seems too perfect, you know? I mean, if there's something either of you know about him that's not in the file, please let me know. But unless someone's got links to it through family, it seems strange that he would run away to join a pirate ship instead of the circus.
