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.

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?

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.

[with_discipline]

His actions were admirable.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Yes, they were.

Awkward awkward attempts to change the subject.

[with_discipline]

Do the ships in your time regularly hold several hundred occupants?

That's right. Feeeeel the awkward.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It depends on the ship but yeah. My ship is running at less than full capacity right now because so many cadets were lost at Vulcan.

He just has to make it worse, doesn't he.

[with_discipline]

I see. That is unfortunate.
