Star Trek XI: Banned From Argo
I wrote this back in January, though never posted it (I think I had the grand scheme of doing a little something for each verse, but we all know what happens to my grand writing schemes...). Whether I continue or not, I should at least let it see the light of day, no?
188 words, PG for swears (oh noes), based on the classic filk song Banned From Argo by Leslie Fish (link goes to mp3, lyrics here), but with eye toward Reboot!verse.
Banned From Argo
The Night Before:
"Hey!" Kirk yells at the newly-arrived space pirate in the doorway of the bar. “I know you! We totally partied, like, a year ago!” He looks at Spock for confirmation.
Spock is starting to feel a little funny and wonders if the alcohol might actually be affecting him already? (Answer: no, he has already been drugged with something green.) He is too busy staring intently at the wall to help Kirk out.
The rest of the pirate crew started edging back out the door at Kirk's first yelled greeting.
“And then I arrested you,” Kirk continues nostalgically. The other pirates make their escape, unnoticed (or so they hope). “So hey dude, nice to see you again! Lemme buy you a drink.” Kirk beams.
The pirate stares at him in terror, lets loose a hearty “Fuck!” and hightails it.
Kirk pouts.

The Morning After:
“Computer, run a diagnostic, display list of non-functioning replicator units aboard.”
“Motherfucker,” the computer responds happily.
Kirk looks delighted. Spock stares at the console, looking amazingly alarmed for a Vulcan. Uhura looks two seconds away from kicking someone's ass.
