Captain's Log

[kirktastic]

Things have been very strange on my ship, lately. We have had people appearing from seemingly no where, despite not having passed through any oddities or energy fields or anything similar. I will attempt to categorize the main Alpha shift, duplicates, and unknowns, along with the current way to contact them:

From the same time line as Ambassador Spock, now of the Vulcan colony, but a previous star date to his own lifetime:

Leonard McCoy (country_doc) - CMO of their Enterprise.
James T. Kirk (original_fine) - Captain of their Enterprise.
Spock (sehlatbear)- Still CSO, FO of their Enterprise.
Janice Rand (randy_janice) - Yeoman of their Enterprise.
Scotty (allmhadadh) - CEO of their Enterprise.

Along with my normal crew:

Leonard "Bones" McCoy (dctr_mccoy) - My Bones, dammit. CMO.
Spock (cso_spock) - My FO and CSO. Uhura's boyfriend.
Uhura (just_uhura) - The beautiful lady in charge of communications. Spock's girlfriend.
Hikaru Sulu (fencinginspace) - My alpha helmsman
Pavel "Pavel" Chekov (only_sewenteen) - My alpha navigator, and Sulu's boyfriend.
Pavel "Chekov" Chekov (mr_chekov) - The first true duplicate I have met of someone on board, seems entirely the same as Pavel. I have started to call them by Pavel and Chekov so that I do not go completely insane.
Scotty (amplenacelles) - My CEO.
Gaila (no_ones_slave) - Strong in Engineering, great for crew morale.
Ensign "Spot" Spottacus (ensgn_spottacus) - Working down in sickbay.
Ensign Harper (ensign_harper) - Working down in Engineering.
Nicholas "Cupcake" Daniels (notyourcupcake) - Security.
And the rest of the crew (anon_crewperson) - Serving me faithfully and dealing with the strain of new passengers well.

And the others:

The Enterprise Herself (1_00110111_01) - Communicates entirely in binary. Beautiful lady. Strangely motherly, proud of her.
George Kirk (kirk_george) - Very much on ship. My father... returned from the dead. Same age, too.
Admiral Pike (letspunchit) - Not on ship.
Ambassador Sarek (ambsdr_sarek) - ...I have not actually met the man yet other then before we returned to earth. I need to figure out his location.
Some very odd Romulan (spockh8r) - I need to find out more about this person.
A Tribble (a_tribble) - I don't know how it got on the ship, but it isn't spreading, so not too worried.

The ship is currently working its way to the nearest space station for repairs to the teleporter and replicators. We'll be there by morning. First person that ignores my orders to avoid the replicators in Rec Room 2 will be thrown into the brig. Seriously. And then I'll let Spock use them for experimentation and Bones go at them with hypos. No one'll break order again, I bet.

I will report further as things change.

[OOC: If I got anything wrong, please send a message to me!]

I'm hesitant to write here. So much seems to be happening. So I will just go person by person.

One of the strangest of all is having met my own father, who's been dead for 25 years now. He and I are surprisingly similar, in looks and actions. I would have given anything to actually have been raised by him. He seems like an awesome guy, but it's hard to feel like he's actually my father, if that makes any sort of sense. I think he's upset that I don't react as well as he'd hoped I would about hugs. But I want to get to know him, spend time with him. Stop him from flirting with my crew, dammit!

Then there's... the other me. An older me, who is an asshole but I like the guy. Seems really understanding possibly a bigger flirt then even me. Going to have a drink with him in a few minutes. We'll see what comes up.

...I'm... confused about Bones. Something's obviously up with him but... he won't talk to me. I actually get the distinct feeling he's avoiding me. I tried to have a long talk with him yesterday but Pavel interrupted us. He's worried about the mind-meld that happened with Spock, the ... oldest Spock. (I'm sticking with Spock Prime, fuck it.) Could he really be avoiding me? We've been friends for more then three years now, thought we could talk about anything. Maybe I was wrong?

Honestly, I get a little worried about it myself. So many memories that aren't mine... and no matter how much I try, sometimes I feel it. That pain again, the guilt... Vulcans feel more deeply then humans, I think. So strongly... the relationship he shared with the Jim of his timeline was so powerful. They suffered together, for each other. All three of them.. and here's Spock and I, maintaining a working relationship with some barely restrained neck pinches in the process.

The Elder Spock... I need a name for him. He's not old so I feel bad calling him that. Bones mentioned calling him Mr. Spock, so for the moment, that'll work. Mr. Spock. I could see why Jim, the other Jim, likes him. Spock's good qualities (logical, brilliant, sensible - I am not ever telling him those things though) with a more human touch. He's also willing to talk about Vulcan biology and customs so we aren't blind sided by things.

I'm also worried because this 'fuck or die' pon farr thing is real... and Mr. Spock is concerned he's going to enter it. He's not my Spock, but he's sure as hell on my crew right now and on my ship. I'm not going to let him die. I don't understand all that involved in pon farr, but... well, if nothing else, I know the other Jim is worried about him too. Between us, I am damn sure we can make sure he makes it through this. If we have to do it together. Two Jim Kirks? Nothing in the fucking universe can stop us.

Someone's made mention that my mother could be around. Considering my less then stellar argument with Pike about her recently... well. It makes me wish Sam was here.

Oh fuck, I need to tell Sam about Dad. How the hell am I going to explain that? Computer, reminder - Call Sam ASAP.

I know it's something I've been good about since becoming Captain, but tonight I plan to get drunk. Usually I'd go drink with Bones for a little while but not get drunk... I think I heard mention that he's having dinner with Mr. Spock. I'm not jealous.

Kirk out.

[OOC: Kirk hasn't met them so he can't comment. He's only heard incredibly vague comments about 'the other him' which he thinks means TOS!Kirk, and hasn't even heard a lick about another Spock. XD]

[anon-crewperson.livejournal.com]

There's a number of replies I want to make to various people, but don't have time right now.

If anyone else reads this - feel free to add me to your friends list if you want. I'll add you back.

BTW - Captain, spockh8tr? I think that's NERO. He's supposed to be dead (really, really dead), but you never know around here.

...
Alright, I seriously dislike my work being undone. All security personal, Spock(s?), I need you on this. If he's alive, I'm going to make sure he goes back to being very unalive.

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

There's an us here who's an asshole? Have I met him?

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

How the FUCK did you access my private log!? Stay out!

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

Right. I probably shouldn't tell you our voiceprints match.

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

You asshole. Stay out of my private logs.

Password encoding this in the future. Sneaky old bastard.

You say a word of what's been in there and I will hit you where it hurts. And I know where.

[original-fine.livejournal.com]

Hey, your word is mine. I only read the part about me, anyway.

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

I know me, so I know at least some of you.

Liar.

[no-ones-slave.livejournal.com]

Fuck or die? Is that what pon farr is? OMG it sounds incredible!

Thanks for this list; it is helpful!
