[...Damn it hope, you are hard to fight.]

Starfleet Commander T'Pol, Enterprise NX-01, serial number SA-013-8294-VR.

[A short pause, then she's trying again.] These glitches are far from traceable, and it's impossible to tell how many people might be listening, but if there are any Enterprise crew members connected to the network, I would like to speak.

[And time to settle down for a long wait for nothing.]

Who are you?

Captain James T. Kirk, ISS Enterprise.

[And here we have a pause.

A really, really long pause.

Epic long, seriously, this is fucking with her head. The mirror!verse flood left her all kinds of rattled.]

You don't belong in this universe.

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

Oh, one of those, are you. You're like a plague.

[with_discipline]

Your kindness knows no bounds.

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

I think you have me confused with the other one.

[with_discipline]

It is abundantly clear that you are not the Captain Kirk I am familiar with.

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

I would hope not. By all accounts, he's not anyone to be proud of.

[with_discipline]

It would seem our universes have different conceptions of pride.

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

A fact for which I'm eternally grateful. You really able to stand that boy scout?

[with_discipline]

'Boy scout.' [It's a question Even if it doesn't sound that way.]

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

Oh, right, Vulcan. I swear you do it to annoy me. Boy scout. Goody-goody. Follower-of-rules.

[with_discipline]

Your sense of self is inflated. The Captain Kirk I am familiar with doesn't fit that description.

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

My sense of self is entirely appropriate. And I guess what I meant was the one who everyone thinks is their shining boy, but isn't any better than any of these other assholes.

[with_discipline]

I have no reason to doubt his capabilities. [Anymore, at least. Rocky start.]

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

You're all alike. If I never hear about the Federation again, it will be too soon.

[with_discipline]

Fortunate that our universes rarely converse, then.

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

So. What do you do for fun, then?

[with_discipline]

Excuse me?

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

Fuuuun. That thing you do when you're not working? Evidently not small talk.

[with_discipline]

I don't see why that should be of any interest to you.

[gold-ambition.livejournal.com]

And that's about all the answer I need.

[with_discipline]

Good.
