I don't think these things are malfunctioning at all but if it's just an excuse to roll call, then I'm Captain James T. Kirk. My friends call me Jim.

[He tips the communicator to the side, and there's Spock. Looking stoic as always.]

And that's Spock. Don't worry kids, he always looks like that. He won't bite.

Are you going to introduce yourself?

[with_discipline]

Subcommander T'Pol. My current assignment is aboard Earth's first warp-five ship, the Enterprise.

[captain_jtkirk]

Bullshit.

[with_discipline]

Excuse me?

[captain_jtkirk]

You're really Ambassador T'Pol?

[with_discipline]

[Kirk what did she just say

have one perfectly arched Vulcan eyebrow]

Subcommander.

[captain_jtkirk]

For now.

[with_discipline]

[Hnnn]

I always planned to reenter politics.

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm personally a fan of that decision.

[with_discipline]

So it seems.

[Private]

Commander Spock is one of your officers?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

He's my XO.

Currently, the Vulcan Science Directorate has deemed time travel an impossibility. [She knows, she said it over and over while being tortured, it was good times.]

Commander Spock has said it's become a reality in your time.

Private

Yeah some asshole Romulan came back in time and killed my father and destroyed V--[oh shit. Play it cool, Kirk, PLAY COOL]

A planet.

Private

[with_discipline]

[You idiot.

Just watch her go very, very still and stare at him for a very long moment.]

Destroyed Vulcan.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

[You Vulcans are just too smart.]

Yes.

Re: Private

[with_discipline]

[Or you're just rly dumb.]

Why?

Re: Private

[captain_jtkirk]

[Or... that]

Revenge.

Re: Private

[with_discipline]

For?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

Romulus is destroyed by supernova. This particular Romulan blamed the Federation for it.

Private

[with_discipline]

The Federation?

Re: Private

[captain_jtkirk]

What year is it?

Private

[with_discipline]

2152.

Private - i think that's the right planet... i cant be assed to change it if its not

[captain_jtkirk]

Ah.

It's coming. Earth, Vulcan, Andoria, and Tellar Prime make an alliance.

Private - you got em!

[with_discipline]

[Just. Arching an eyebrow.] I would point out that I find that unlikely, but I'm certain history has recorded why.

How could this Romulan [asshole] blame your Federation? Is the Empire a part of it?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

The Federation promised to help and didn't get there in time. It's that simple.
