So, Christmas was fun. :) Went on holiday with a bunch of eighteen year olds, which made me feel incredibly old. Still, it was fun.

Watched TRON: Legacy, and woah! That's what the 3D is for, people! The flying and the driving and the shiny! My favourite part was definitely Michael Sheen, he was wonderful!! Shiny and white and blueish and hee! Awesome! Did like the movie on the whole, though you know, could it be any more predictable?

Also makes me wonder, if Jeff Bridges patented a way to manifest things from virtual space in reality, the fuck was he bothering with computer programs at all? Why not go into solving world hunger? More oil? Being insanely wealthy? Instead of disappeared in cyberspace, which is a fate that awaits us all, when you get right down to it?



Seriously considering the Narnia fic. Even went out and got myself a complete Narnia book, for research purposes. :D Voyage was always my favourite part...

Then there's this:



“So, what’re you in for?”

“In for?” Hakkai tapped his data pad and looked around.

“You’re here, so I’m assuming you’re assigned to Captain Fluffy, so what did you do?” The speaker was an attractive humanoid, six feet high. Judging by the coloration of his skin, lack of markings and rounded ears, human. “You’re a Vulcan, you’re all goodie-two-shoes.”

“Sweeping generalisations about an entire species are an indication of specieism. Is that why you’re here?”

“Dude. I know Vulcan history inside and out. There hasn’t been one of you that jaywalks since the insurrection of fifty years ago, when this kid called Sorrek stole a bottle of beer. Point of interest, the Vulcan word for crime stems from the word for stupidity.”

“I speak Vulcan, thank you.”

“Never said you didn’t. I do happen to know that lingustics aren’t a popular field of study among Vulcans, which I get, ‘cause linguistics are a funny thing. I would know, believe me.”

Despite himself, Hakkai started to smile. The man was bright-eyed and red-haired, his movements betrayed confidence, though the grin implied bravado. “What are you here for?”

“Ah, funny story. Shagged the wife of the general, twice. He wasn’t happy.”

“Marriage vows are of utmost importance.”

“Dude. I’m not a total asshole. I didn’t know who she was, which is the entire point of hitting up girls in a bar.”

“It pays to know your superior officer’s immediate family.”

“Tell me about it. Gonna start doing background checks from now on, before I shag someone ever again. So, you gonna tell me your name?”

“Why, are you planning on shagging me?”

“Well, if you’re not averse to the idea, sure. If not, say the word and I’d have never said anything.”

“That’s illogical.”

“Whatever. You know what I mean.”

Hakkai consulted his data pad. “You are lieutenant Gojyo Sha. You are assigned to the USS Shangri-La as a communication officer.”

“Indeed I am.”

“Commander Hakkai Cho.”

“And just like that, I’m back in the game.” Gojyo grinned, but the grin soon faded. “Wait, Cho? That rings a bell. Any relation to Gonou Cho?”

Hakkai said nothing.

“Ah, I see the resemblance now. The haircut makes a world of difference. You’re the Vulcan who went unhinged, killed a whole ship’s worth of people. Man. That was harsh.”

“They were Klingons.”

“Now who’s being specieist?” Gojyo held up his arms and smiled. “I’m not judging. I heard the rumours, so hey, far as I’m concerned, good for you.”

“That’s brazen. I believe that’s frowned upon among your species.”

“How the fuck did we get that reputation, I wonder. We are assholes, on the whole. We do have a good press, mind.”

“Maybe it’s due to your linguistic skills.”

Gojyo grinned. “I’m cool with that explanation. Heads up, here comes Captain Fluffy.”

“You’re the new science officer?”

Hakkai turned. Captain Fluffy was a head shorter than he was, humanoid, wide-eyed and smiling. The tone of his skin was within human range, pinkish hue to the cheeks gave away the haemoglobin in his blood. Judging by the skin’s smoothness, he was no older than twenty-five.

“Yes, Captain Fluffy.”

Gojyo chortled and the captain’s cheeks got even pinker. “He’s not called Fluffy,” Gojyo managed between breaths. “Sorry, I thought you knew.”

Hakkai looked at his data-pad. The details of his post had been sent to him shortly before his arrival at the docking bay, he didn’t get the chance to get familiar with the names. “I apologise, Captain Son.”

“No trouble. You’re Gojyo Sha?”

“Yessir.” Gojyo saluted brightly. “Happy to be of service.”

“We’re starting in a couple minutes, might wanna load your stuff. I’m just here to say hi.”

“Thank you, sir. I look forward to working with you.” Hakkai shouldered his bag and stood up ramrod straight, until the Captain stopped looking and turned away, visibly disappointed.

“He’s a cute kid,” Gojyo said as they both watched their new captain depart, to circle around the cargo-hold some more in search of new friends. “I wonder what he did. Had to be awesome, if he got promoted to captain and sent here.”

“I don’t recall ever seeing his face before.”

“Great, now we only have the other trillion people to consider. You up for a beer?”

Against himself Hakkai grinned, a sight, he’d been told, that unnerved most of his fellow humanoids. Gojyo, to his credit, grinned back. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
