I suppose introductions are the thing to do right now.

I am Commander Winona Kirk, obviously here for my son, Captain James Kirk.

Would anyone care to explain to me what he's doing here in the first place? And where he is now? And why me?

[Dramas over. Now it's time to lay the mom smackdown on Kirk because this is all his fault :|] If you can hear me and this is some kind of Take Your Parent to Work day, I'm going to hit you, James. I have my own work to do. And I thought we agreed that I don't care what you do, so long as you don't get yourself killed or someone pregnant.

...

Wow.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

While eloquent, that doesn't answer any of my questions.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Hey, nobody is dead or pregnant because of him and you already said you don't care.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

There's load of my shoulders. He isn't in trouble and he dragged me here anyway. Some boys calls first when they want their mothers.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

He didn't call you. This had nothing to do with him. You're replacing him right now.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Any thoughts on why he can't be doing it himself? And do you have a name to go with your face?

[batmanschmatman]

[Wow. Mommy Kirk is scary.] I guess those are some important standards when it comes to what your kid does with their life.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

I cannot be bothered to explain this beyond what you know already. You're here, he's not, it's not his fault and in a couple days you'll be gone and the Barge will be a happier place because of it. Okay?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

My son is a reckless idiot sometimes. My old heart can't take knowing everything he does with his life.

[batmanschmatman]

Well, I promise he hasn't been up to anything reckless and potentially dangerous lately.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

That's a long and strange name you have.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Alternatively, I only answered one of your questions.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

That's a relief.

[batmanschmatman]

So, the Admiral didn't give you the rundown before dragging you on board?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

You realize I'm just trying to be polite. He has a file on you on his desk if I really want to know about you.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Nope. I just know I'm here to sub for Jim.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

But you must've at least skimmed it by now just to know who I am, so, lamest attempt at politeness ever.

[batmanschmatman]

It's called the Barge, and we're here to help rehabilitate inmates. I see you've already met Jim's.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Its possible she just snorted thinking about Jim fixing someone else.]

He must love her.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

You must be a dear friend of Jim's. You share his charming, stubborn streak.

[batmanschmatman]

They get along pretty okay, to the best of my knowledge. [y so little faith, Mama Kirk.]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[Because Kirk's antics give her ulcers.]

And are you another of Jim's friends?

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah. Dick Grayson. It's nice to meet you, ma'am.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

At ease, son. I hate being called ma'am. Call me Winona.

[batmanschmatman]

Winona. You work for Starfleet as well?
