At some point during the day, Sariel hurries through the front door with an armload of packages. They're left under the tree* for Captain Kirk, Dale Harding, River Tam, Tanya Adams, Teller, Turanga Leela, Will Scarlett and Yrael. Then the ensign's off again ( Read more... )

It's been just another day on the Enterprise. Observations of an old supernova have added to the database, but no radical discoveries. A few system upgrades, but nothing that Jim needs to worry about (much). So it's a good day to take a break in the Bar and catch up on some reading. Mainly Starfleet intelligence and institutional matters, but ( Read more... )

It is no exaggeration to say that the bridge crew of the Enterprise have traveled faster than any other human beings. And yet those moments of hyper-accelerated speed through time itself didn't really feel like going fast. Something was missing ( Read more... )

July 20. Apollo Day. Jim knows many don't care about this day much anymore. The original moon landing was over 300 years ago. Ancient history.

Kate comes downstairs and approaches the Bar, looking tired and a little worn. Her hair is pleated, her typical cowboy hat left upstairs ( Read more... )

Jim got a communique from Starfleet this morning. Chris Pike had passed away. The man who sat in the captain's chair on the previous Enterprise, like the ship itself, was gone ( Read more... )

Kate comes inside from checking on the stock one last time. There's been some... interesting activity outside over the last few months, not limited to the birth of a two-headed cow (who is, in the very strangest way, cute as a button), but all-in-all things continue as 'normal ( Read more... )

There is a cupcake waiting for Jim when he arrives at the bar. There is a candle in the cupcake. He has no idea how it knows it was his birthday yesterday. (Though he would guess that whatever runs the bar can tap into Starfleet records remotely ( Read more... )

There's a stiff breeze from the lake and the clouds and sun are playing tag, so it's not the easiest day to be riding. But neither Jim nor Rachat shy from a little hard work.

You can find Jim on the trails. Or later in the stables, and after that in the Bar, where he's a bit windburned and nursing a cup of coffee.
