If the past week doesn't earn us some kind of shore leave, I don't know what would.

Come on, Admiral, give us a break. Take us somewhere nice for once.

Don't make me commandeer this thing again.

No it isn't. You aren't people :\

Noble should be my middle name.

Computers are people :[

[with_discipline]

It would be a strange one.

No you aren't.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

No stranger than Tiberius.

:|

[with_discipline]

It has historical value, at least.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Because I've always wanted to be linked to ancient Roman generals.

[with_discipline]

Is there something wrong with that?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Nothing at all. Just that no one hardly ever remembers them and I have bigger plans for myself than that.

[with_discipline]

As I understand it, they played a distinct part in Earth's history.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Some of them did. Tiberius not so much.

[with_discipline]

Then why were you named for him?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

I wasn't.

I was named after my grandfathers.

[with_discipline]

That is a standard human practice, as I understand it.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Tiberius is a really terrible name though.

[with_discipline]

Fortunate, then, that it is not your first name.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

My daddy was really looking out for me.

[with_discipline]

Pardon?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

My father talked my mom out of naming me Tiberius right before he died.

[with_discipline]

I see. Then it would seem your name has even more impact for you.

You Vulcans always pick at his dead father.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

No more than bearing the Kirk name does.

It's a specialty.

[with_discipline]

I do not know that impact.

It sucks. :|

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It won't have any significance until about a hundred years after where you're from.

Suck it up kid.

[with_discipline]

So I presumed. What is the significance?

Why can't you ask McCoy these things you wench?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

George Kirk sacrificed himself so that the eight hundred crew members aboard the Kelvin could escape with their lives.

You know how Starfleet loves their heroes.

Cause he's being a jerk. :|

[with_discipline]

George Kirk was your father?

He's always like that. You get used to it.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Yes.
