Captain's Log 08

[so_illogical]

Ahhh, that was fun. I haven't played with water guns since I was a kid.

Note to self: Vulcans do not appreciate water to the face as an alarm clock.

Vulcans? Spock? Captain's Log!?

Are you... James T. Kirk?

[OOC I shouldn't be doing this, seeing as how I'm not any kind of Trekkie at all, but Dexter would be, and... D=]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN

[so_illogical]

That'd be me. I knew it wouldn't be long before my fame spread across the planet--galaxy--universe!

XD;; Glad to oblige.

[binary_fiend]

You- You're- I can't even-!

Are you kidding!? Everyone who's anyone knows about the legendary exploits of Captain James Tiberius Kirk and his crew aboard the USS Enterprise!! Oh, man, I'm freaking out here! This is just too cool!

[so_illogical]

Huh, word spread a little faster than I thought it would, but all things considered? Yeah, I'd call it pretty legendary.

Dear God, I am not a Trekkie at all. D=

[binary_fiend]

Yes, you are!

My favorite exploit is definitely the one involving the tribbles... I mean, the expressions on your crew's faces as they tried to stop the little furballs from breeding themselves into an adorable fuzzy mob was priceless! And then there was the poisoned quatrotriticale grain, and Scotty's solution of ridding the Enterprise of the tribbles by beaming them onto a Klingon ship... that was definitely an amazing episode!

IT'S OKAY and oh god you've confused the poor boy since he's from the new ST movie

[so_illogical]

...

Wait, wha--

Okay, back up a little. First off, I don't remember anything about tribbles. Secondly, episode?

I realize. =3 Dexter's just getting started though.

[binary_fiend]

And there was the one adventure where you discovered Christine Chapel's long lost fiancee Dr. Roger Korby and you find him on the planet Exo III, and it turns out the man became obsessed with androids and integrating machines into the Federation and he kidnapped you and replaced you with an android but you implanted false memories and ideals into your double during its creation so Spock immediately began to suspect that something was wrong and eventually figured out what had happened when you used the word "half-breed" on him despite the fact that you know and respect his heritage and eventually you turned Korby's own androids on him and escaped that way even before the crew of the Enterprise arrived to help after tricking your double off of the ship!

[OOC: Episode synopsis, heavily abridged, from Season 01, E.07, "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", thanks to http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/TOS/episode/68680.html]

Mmmm I remember that episode

[so_illogical]

Chapel, Chapel... Could've sworn I've heard that name before--

Kid. Really. Hold up.

I don't even remember this. We've barely started on our missions, and even if we did, how would you know everything in such detail? Are you a crew member I haven't met yet?

=O Was the series good?

[binary_fiend]

Er, well, not really, Captain... I just watched your television show.

You've just started on your missions? And also, why do you look nothing like William Shatner?

It's amazing. Campy as hell, but amazing. XDD Just...sooo corny.

[so_illogical]

I have a television show?

Who's William Shatner?

Re: It's amazing. Campy as hell, but amazing. XDD Just...sooo corny.

[binary_fiend]

Well, not just you... It was a show about the adventures of the USS Enterprise. Star Trek. William Shatner was the actor who played the role of James T. Kirk, the captain of the Enterprise, with its mission "to boldly go where no man has gone before".

...Are you sure you're Captain Kirk?

[so_illogical]

Captain James T. Kirk of the U.S.S. Enterprise, the one and only.

Well, I guess our little exploit with Nero was big enough to make people want to make a TV show about us. I just must have never...heard of it for some reason...?

=3

[binary_fiend]

Oh geez what should I tell him about the show I think I screwed up by mentioning it

Nero? Nero, Nero, Nero... ...Actually, I don't think I've seen that episode. Who's this Nero guy, and what did he do?

I... don't think you would have heard of the show, Captain... It's sort of... It's very popular on my world, but I doubt it existed in yours...

[so_illogical]

Well, now that I think about it, that's probably all confidential information and Spock would strangle me again if I said much more.

Worlds... Oh. Oh. I think I get it now. You're from a different world, but for some weird reason, your world has a television show about me?

...Well, I've heard of weirder things, I guess.

[binary_fiend]

Yeah, we have a television show about you. Ran for three seasons, actually. By the way, I'm Dexter Douglas, and a huge fan! Uh, if you couldn't tell already, that is.

Spock? Strangle you? And confidential information doesn't really... Well, I guess you could think of it this way: most of your future missions are already public knowledge on my world, thanks to the television show. I mean, if this mission with this Nero guy is so big and secret, it might just become another movie or something...

Dexter clearly needs to tell him more about how he and Spock are BFFs in the original series

[so_illogical]

Nice to meet you then, Dexter.

Strangle me. I'm surprised he didn't do it when I woke him up with a water gun a few days ago. I'm sure he's been looking for an opportunity.

And. Iiiiinteresting. Though now I have to wonder if the show's about me, or maybe the alternate timeline Kirk that the other Spock knew, or whatever let's save the thinking for another day.
