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?

Ah, ye can't charm a man any easier than telling him y'like to hear him talk. Lass, I dunno where we're going w'this, but I like ye and I'd like to get to know ye better, however ye're comfortable with that idea.

Chekov's was Russian. It translates to 'My little boy, you are strong.' Not gibberish. I checked before I said it, I assumed it was code for something.

You seemed nice. Offering to have your assistants recopy all of those notes for me. And it seemed kind of stupid, hoarding those strawberries only for myself.
I'm not good at trusting people. But I want to. And I want to be able to trust you.

Well, they were more'n a bit of a disgrace. Aye, but no reason to share them w'someone ye didn't even know.
I'll do m'best to earn your trust then, and not to lose it once I've got it.

They were fine. Same state as everything else on this ship, anyway. I don't know anyone on the ship. In the time that it could take me to get to know someone, they could have turned.
I just. It's not easy. And I know I'm not easy to get along with because that's what the Captain keeps telling me. And you seem nice. So I get it if you don't want to bother.

Alright, fair enough. Still a sweet thing to do.
Most things worth the time aren't easy, lass. I don't waste time on useless things, but I'm willing to spend a whole lot of time on you, if you'll have me.

I--really? I would really like that. Spending time with you and everything that means.

Is this what's called "going steady"?

Oh. Russian. Sounded like gibberish to me.
So his father knew the trigger?

You ever have an opinion you didn't want to change? You hate me, you like me, you want me to shove you out an airlock, you want to be friends. I appreciate you keeping it interesting, but for god's sake. Choose one.

I thought you'd be happy by this turn of events.

Mostly I am confused.

I was just thinking, and I realized that maybe you're right. Maybe not everyone wants to take advantage of me.

Look, either take the offer or leave it.
Are you with the Chekov kid now?

Yes, Russian.
So it would seem.

Not a common language, that.
What are we making of that?

I'm going to regret this, aren't I? Look, I refuse to have any sleep overs with you and no, you are not going to do my hair.
What's happened so far?
