Meme

[mirroredcommand]

How this meme works:
1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation.
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed.

I make no promises that you will like the answers to your questions. Damn 'internet' things. Don't understand them, but I'm learning.

1. Anything else I know know about? What about the crew? Any word from the Empire?
2. I might have to give you all the code to let him out. Maybe.
3. Somehow, I'm less then surprised. Try to make sure he's capable of serving as well as fighting when he's done. Key word: try.
4. I know how easily you forget.
5. I know you, McCoy. I'm the only Captain willing to have your ass on my ship, and in the Empire that's saying a lot. I know you don't have to lay a hand on him to have done something. I also know you're anything but stupid, but you have more cunning then any one man needs.

It is quite a curious environment. Have you seen the cat macros yet? They are amusing.

I do not require questions, as you are, of course, free to ask them of me at any chronological point. Should you wish to do so now, however, it would not be objectionable.

Vulcans. Can never just outright say something, it's like trying to figure out a verbal puzzle. In any case, I have seen the pictures you and the chi other Spock have been passing back and forth. I am somehow not surprised to find you amused by them. I am more surprised that you have yet to request a pet for our quarters. The answer is no.

1. Why did you decide to stay under my command after other ships began to incorporate more Vulcans into their command?
2. What do you remember, know, of your father's death?
3. Are you aware that McCoy has been following this means of communication?

[letspunchit.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't trust you completely. I just trust in the fact that you're both intelligent enough to know that trying anything while on a ship not your own in a universe not your own and surrounded by watching eyes is far, far from a good idea.

And thanks be to the person who invented hair growth stims, whoever they were.

It pleases me that one of the few men who actually seems to have intellect on this ship is my counterpart.

Is that what you had to do after you wore that strange costume?

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

1. Empire ain't said shit. They may be too used to you doing whatever the shit you please and then coming back with 5 new planets or some bullshit like that. Crew is occupying themselves fucking and fighting.

2. You going soft over there or something? Or just saving him for later?

3. He won't lose any limbs. But he'll remember his lesson by the time he's goddamn done.

4. Shitty short-term memory, what can I say?

5. You keep flattering me, I'm going to develop a situation in my pants and I know you frown on that sort of thing on duty.

... Are you all so thick in the head as to realize I have no idea who you are? Maybe a name would be nice.

[iron-command.livejournal.com]

1. Good. Last thing we need is their involvement.
2. Have you gone soft in the head? I want him alive for my use when I return, I figure he'll need food at some point. You can use this code to beam some food and water into his cell. I want him alive. I didn't say in what condition. Code: DFX1284. I would ask the ship nicely if I was you. Don't even deal with Scotty if he's drunk, I want the supplies to end up in the cell, not actually in Kirk or in the bulkhead.
3. Good.

5. Keep it in your pants, McCoy.

Hey, no need to be so caustic. I don't know who on earth you are, either, but for the purposes of this "meme" it hardly seems to matter.

Leonard Nimoy, pleased to meet you?

[mirroredspock.livejournal.com]

You say no in such a reactionary tone. I will continue to gather my arguments.

1. Why would I shift my loyalty to an inferior commander? I have never been anything less than satisfied with my position under your command. And I do mean that in every sense.

2. I am not entirely comfortable discussing that in this public forum. I experienced the sensation of it as though I were there, and he called out to me as he bled. The familial connection between us was... painful as it was severed. Do you require more detail?

3. I... did not. Thank you for informing me.

Captain Christopher Pike, I.S.S. Enterprise.

Since I already asked my first question:

2. Rank, origin, duties on ship?

[len-not-spock.livejournal.com]

Ah, I now see your addendum in the comments above me (which I hadn't perused before commenting here myself). My apologies.

I'm a displaced person on this ship, used to play Spock in a fictional representation of one of the parallel universes (I'm an actor), and hail from the late 20th/early 21st century on earth. That sufficient to begin with?

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

1. I figured you'd say that. Oh, Chekov and Uhura are holding the goddamn conn but no one has made a move - they can't claim control without the fucking chair even if it is just symbolic but they can't get near the chair without being fried. So the baby Russian Fuckhead and the woman are keeping at least a semblance of order through coercion without stepping out of place. It's kind of fun to watch them dance at this.

2. I'll see what I can do.

3. You didn't bring me on for my good looks; I'm good at my fucking job.

5. What if I wore a skirt?

[iron-command.livejournal.com]

Nothing will counter the hair that those things leave behind.

1. I'm pleased to hear it.
2. Then we'll speak of it elsewhere, if more detail is necessary, but that tells me much.
3. The ship, evidently, is singing to itself? It may be responding to Scotty's drunken ramblings, and has nearly killed Sulu... on accident, of course. Kirk is still alive, somehow. I gave them a code to be able to beam him supplies. I want him to be alive when I return.

Mistrust of you =/= lack of intellect. This is a brilliant crew, just with a very developed sense of caution - as I'm sure you've found out since you've been here, we had issues recently with a genocidal maniac from another reality.

It is indeed. Smells disgusting, but the hair all grew back in a day or two - still, don't think I'll be reusing that costume idea next year. Do you do holiday parties on board your ship?

[len-not-spock.livejournal.com]

2. Origin I just explained to you below, rank and duties I have none. Going crazy with boredom, as a matter of fact.

You're from the... what was it, Terran Empire, then?

[iron-command.livejournal.com]

You write like a Spock.

3. How long have you been on the ship and how did you arrive in this time/in this place?

[iron-command.livejournal.com]

1. Figures they would step up without Sulu there. They're smart, that's why I've kept them on my ship. She'll kill anyone who tries to get above her.

2. Good.

5. Only if you shave your legs.

[iron-command.livejournal.com]

I question the brilliance of this crew, but to each his own. Yes, I've learned a good deal about Nero and what he's done.

Parties usually end in someone dying, so no.

[len-not-spock.livejournal.com]

Spocks do tend to have a certain impact, wouldn't you say?

3. I've somewhat lost track of time sitting around doing little, so my best guess is something on the order of four to six weeks? Perhaps less. We got here in my sentient Buick which decided it was a good idea to transpose us, apparently.

[sharpestscalpel.livejournal.com]

1. You make it back in one piece, I'd watch out for those two. They're thick as theives now. And goddamn smug.

5. Wouldn't be the first time. Still, I prefer wax. More efficient. And pleasantly painful.

[mirroredspock.livejournal.com]

Indeed many things will, including regular brushing to remove loose fur and certain alterations to the ventilation system which would gather any shed hair through the use of air currents.

1. I shall endeavor to ensure that you possess this knowledge at more frequent intervals.

2. Why does it matter? I am curious to know.

3. Fascinating.

[letspunchit.livejournal.com]

Dying, huh? To paraphrase something Admiral Archer sent me this morning - Parties: You're Doing It Wrong.

[iron-command.livejournal.com]

1. I'm hardly surprised.

5. I am equally hardly surprised.

Keep me updated on what's happening with the ship and crew.
