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?

We are a family, and we do work together. But when we're staring down the barrel of a Fleet ship, I'm not going to stop and poll the masses to see what I should do. You think George Kirk stopped and asked him family before he made his call? They still let him go. You do what you have to do. And I need to know that my crew is going to support me in my Kirk moments.

There were other ships. Other captains. You could have been a passenger. You wanted to be a pirate, and you want to be here, or you would have said "fuck it" and left yesterday despite my turning the ship around.

Honestly, is there anything I can do to get you to feel more comfortable here?
