Mission 1 [Arrival] (Forward-dated to after event end)

[kirkinator]

[Kirk is surprised when, instead of the surface of Ferras II, he is instead greeted with a view of a colonial-style bedroom. He immediately glances around, finds his away team lacking, as well as his phaser, and flips open his communicator, hitting the transmit button.]

Kirk to Enterprise. Come in, Enterprise.

[The communicator transmits nothing but

Comments

[floreatetona]

That won't get you anywhere, you know.

[kirkinator]

And why wouldn't it? [Mr. Strange Voice.]

[floreatetona]

Because Captain Redd will not listen. Unfortunately, we won't be returning to our homes until we've reached this Golden Shore.

James Hook, by the way.

[kirkinator]

[Captain Redd. He has a name, and he files it away.]

So we've been kidnapped... Is this a slave vessel of some sort?

Jim Kirk.

[floreatetona]

Not that I am aware of. As far as I can tell, we've been "saved." From who or what, I haven't the faintest.

[kirkinator]

"Saved"? [He almost asks from whom or what, but when Hook answers it he bites his tongue.] Damn, that's frustrating.

[floreatetona]

Aye. Especially considering the crew absolutely refuses to divulge any information concerning our destination.

Some of us are very busy people.

[Saving the galaxy. Obsessing over a boy who refuses to grow up. Tomato Tomahto.]

[kirkinator]

Tight-lipped too? I'll have to work on that. See what I can get out of them - not that you haven't been helpful.

And yes, the same.

[Oohhhh Hook has no idea 8| ]

[floreatetona]

I wish you the best of luck then, James.

[He refuses to call him Jim. Or captain. He doesn't want or need another dunce cap, kthx.]

You know, you are the third James aboard this vessel. Counting myself and the Captain Redd. This will be entertaining.

[And by entertaining, he means it won't be entertaining.]

[kirkinator]

Thanks.

[Kirk hasn't been called James in a while, but he lets it slide. Its not like it matters.]

Three James, including the Captain I haven't met? I hope you won't mind if I call you Hook, for lack of a better name.

[floreatetona]

Aye, it will do. Calling me c-a-p-t-a-i-n will only earn you a new accessory, which cannot be removed for one hour, it seems.

Is there something you'd prefer to be called other than James?

[kirkinator]

So that's what the fancy hat was for. [Kirk's still irritated by that, but at least he wasn't stunned.] I'll keep that in mind.

Jim works, as well as Kirk. Whichever you'd prefer, Hook.

[Lol saying that feels ridiculous but it'll have to do.]

[floreatetona]

Very well. Kirk it is then. Enjoy your trip. And should you get any information, do share.

["Jim" is just too informal. And he never did like that nickname.]
