Engineer's log: Stardate, unknown

[allmhadadh]

The mission: Keep Captain Kirk from doin' somethin' with the natives (aye, plural) of this universe that they may never recover from, all while tryin' not to see things that'd make me wanna jump into an antimatter stream.

Status: ... we're in a lot o' bloody trouble.

You know I can see this.

And I have no idea what you two are talking about. I haven't done anything! I fail to see how some innocent flirting is a violation of the Prime Directive, or whatever it's called.

As for Scotty's suggestion, the "lingering effects" would be you two on probation, Mister.

I feel like there's some vague suggestion you're making about rooms, but my imagination fails me.

Innocent?!

...

Sorry, sir, that was my head rebounding off o' the monitor here.

You need to loosen up, Scotty. Really, all that stress isn't good for you, or the Enterprise.

Last time someone suggested that, I got possessed and had my body hijacked to commit murder. That sort o' thing tends to make a man a wee bit twitchy about... well, everything, frankly.

Though, ye may have a point, Captain.

Maybe I should put in for a month's leave. Go home, visit the family, maybe go fishin'...

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

Good point. I'm sorry about that, Scotty. That outing didn't go as I'd intended, obviously. Maybe you should look for some release onboard the Enterprise?

And I don't mean with your technical journals.

I think ye had a point the first time. It would be nice to go back to Earth for a bit; I barely had time to spoil my niece and nephew last time, and they're growin' too fast. Then I could give that lecture on shield-modulation tech at the Academy while I'm there, too. And maybe go sailin'...

I mean, it's not like ye haven't done this sort o' thing before. And ye'd never put this ship and crew in any danger that ye couldn't get us back out of, right? Ye'll make sure we're safe here, too, I'm sure.

Goin' home sounds like a bonny idea.

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

Sounds good, Scotty. Really good. You have it all planned out.

Just please have some sex while you're down there. Okay?

[allmhadadh.livejournal.com]

...

Sir, I'm a gentleman. If I did, I sure wouldna be tellin' you about it.

I'll write up the formal leave request in a couple days, once I get done makin' sure everything aboard's in Bristol fashion.

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

Well I didn't ask you tell me about it, did I? It's not like we haven't shared a few secrets between ourselves before, in any case.

Good man, Scotty.

[randy-janice.livejournal.com]

With all due respect, sir, I think you and Mr. Scott have very different definitions of 'loosen up.'

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

Of course we do. That's why humanity is so amazing.

It's still true that lots of those definitions involve sex.
