[ Log Entry 001 | Audio] In Which There Is Much Confusion

[captain_jtk]

[The communicator clicks on and a man's voice comes through, loud, clear, and confident.]

Kirk to Enterprise, Kirk to Enterprise... come in, Enterprise!

...

Damn.

[Shuffleshuffle. There's the osund of someone flipping open something. His voice is a bit more distant now, like he's speaking into something else.]

Captain's log, Stardate: unknown. Location

[shenghuanzhe]

Hey. I'm First Mate Kage and you're on board the MS Elegante. We're going to the Golden Shore, so until we get there, your job is to kick back and relax. You need somethin' or have any questions, ask myself or any other crewmember.

[captain_jtk]

Finally, someone in charge!

Now, listen to me Mister, I've been... hearing reports of what you've been doing on this ship. Kidnapping... piracy... I want some answers. Who's the captain of this ship? Why have you taken us?

[shenghuanzhe]

[Kage flips through Kirk's file slowly, his voice laconic.]

Yeah. Captain James Redd is a great man and he's the master'n commander of this vessel and you were taken 'cause you were selected.

[captain_jtk]

You... don't have the right to take us from our... homes... our ships. I want to speak to this Captain Redd.

Selected? Selected for what?

[Audio // Japanese]

[nantokanare]

You talk... funny.

[Audio // English]

[captain_jtk]

I'm sorry, I... don't understand. If only Sulu were here.

[Audio // English]

[nantokanare]

I know you don't understand.

[canttrustliars]

Whatever the Enterprise is, it isn't coming.

[captain_jtk]

Why not?

[canttrustliars]

Lots of people have been certain that they were going to be saved, and it hasn't happened yet. If you leave, it'll be the captain's choice.

[psychoticracer]

Talk to yourself much?

Bunch of loonies in this group.

[captain_jtk]

I'm merely... trying to keep a record of my... time... in this place.

[psychoticracer]

What, for when you’re reunited with your unit?

Good theory, but take a damn load off. I’ve been here months, “Captain,” you’ll not see them unless they’re brought here.

[Lol KG captains are lower in rank than commanders. Of course they’re not from the same command structure, but since “Captain James Tiberius Kirk” obviously isn’t captain of the Elegante, as far as Erol’s concerned he outranks him.

Hypocritical, since he wouldn’t give respect nor dues to any “ranking” officer save from the KG - and that amounted to one person only, now dead.]

[shadesofeco]

Primative?

[captain_jtk]

Yes... primitive. You see, I'm the Captain of a Starship.

[shadesofeco]

... wait, you're a Precursor?

[captain_jtk]

I'm afraid I don't know what a Precursor is.
