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?

How long have you been on this ship? Not commanding it--just on it.

What's my birthday?

If we're in the quadrant, the area of Earth, she can come up to visit. If you want.

Pike mopped me off a barroom floor when I was 22. Five years.

No they often don't. You're his son. You're a Kirk, and it's a damned good thing to be no matter what you decide to do with it.

I think so.

Says February 10th.

No she can't. The ex and her family won't let me.

fake obvs. Pike fucked with the files to avoid giving anyone solid proof of Kirk being well, himself.

That must be nice. Having someone rescue you and turn you into a respectable pirate captain.

Is that why my birthday in my records in Feb 10? Because I'm a Kirk? That was his birthday. Not subtle.

You would.

Does it at least have my sex and gender right?

That is the fucking worst thing I've ever heard, keeping a kid from her dad. If there's anything I can do, I will. My dad died the day I was born. I fucking hate that shit.

That POV might help things if I do decide to use Anthony as a plot point. \o/

If he hadn't been there, the fellows who were busy feeding me bits of floor would probably have used me for whatever they wanted and sold me. He saved me, really did rescue me, and I have never stopped being grateful.

Because I wasn't about to leave it your actual birthday and make it easier for anyone to figure this ruse out. It's his because we'll both remember it if needed and anyone snooping too hard will assume you're leading people on, on purpose by using it.

I'm like that.

Did you just approve of something Kirk did? But it's hot outside. Hell can't be frozen!

He expressed a point of view I already had (except of course in cases where the parent in question is actually dangerous to the child/ren in question) so it doesn't count. Anyway, all I said was that it would be useful to me.

I wish you had just given me Sam's. Then I could at least pretend to not be in this shadow.

I know.

At least you were saved. Who cares how it happens? Some of us are still run

You are a woman right? No, no all the basics are fine.

Big ole' southern family with too many hands everywhere, it's not a fight you or anyone else can win. She's being taken care of, it's not much but it's something.

Would've lead anyone searching to just think you're Sam and not yourself. Figured your dad's was a better bet to throw people off.
