.003 - mass comminique here

[captain_jtkirk]

Well that didn't take long.

Derek, let's talk.



[Private to Vesper and Bond separately]

Thank you.

[Private to Bruce]

So where's my apology?

[Private to Ivy]

Nice.

[Private to Spock, Prefect, and Shego separately]

You make it through the port okay?

[He slept, for the record.]

They tend to be taken away from inmates.

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

[If that phases Kirk, then he doesn't show it.]

Clearly not all Inmates. [Ivy still has hers.]

[Private]

[lastrat]

[Good man.]

Wardens can give them back. Thus my gun safe, and her ability to fuck with our heads without repercussions.

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

When are you from again?

[Private]

[lastrat]

2006.

Dare I ask?

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

Morbid curiosity.

I feel like I'm visiting the past sometimes.

[Private]

[lastrat]

When are you from?

Re: [Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

2258.

[Private]

[lastrat]

[Well fuck.]

Must seen almost quaint to you.

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

I've never actually fired a real old fashioned gun before.

[Private]

[lastrat]

What do you use, lasers? [He barely remembers Trek, lbr.]

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

You could liken it to a laser, yeah.

[Private]

[lastrat]

Sounds like it could blow up in your face.

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

Less likely to shoot yourself with a phaser than a gun.

[Private]

[lastrat]

Not certain I believe that. You've never fired one.

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

Have you even seen a phaser?

[Private]

[lastrat]

So we're both at a disadvantage.

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

Hmm and I wonder how we could fix that.

[Private]

[lastrat]

I'll meet you at the firing range.

[captain_jtkirk]

[There's no way this is a bad idea, clearly. So Kirk's up there with his phaser, waiting for him.]

spam

[lastrat]

[Obviously it's a great idea. His Walther is still holstered, but he smiles juuust a little when he sees the phaser because omg that looks hilarious.]

Ever been in here before?

spam

[captain_jtkirk]

[Maybe it looks hilarious but it's not hilarious to be shot with one.]

Never had a reason to until right now.

[lastrat]

[He gestures to the door so that Kirk will let them in, and shrugs lightly.]

I'd say it's fairly standard, but I'm not sure what passes for standard in your time. Stationary and moving targets, paper with target rings.

[captain_jtkirk]

[He laughs a little as he waves his communicator at the lock to open the door.]

It really is the stone age here.

spam

[lastrat]

[He will always find the locks here incredibly frustrating and unbearably stupid, but he pushes the door open and holds it for Kirk.]

Just poorly equipped. I've been asking after a full bore range. [His shrug says he's not expecting it even remotely. Inside, he pulls his Walther out, turns off the safety, checks the clip, and glances at Kirk's phaser.]

Here, [he says, holding the gun out butt first for the other man to take.] Sights are on the top, align these two points. [He gestures to the spokes at the top of both ends of the gun.] And squeeze the trigger, don't jerk it.

[He leaves it at that; it's not like Kirk's inexperienced, and he really hopes their weapons aren't that different.]
