canon: star trek

(no subject)

It isn't that I don't like on the whole the idea of a canon update to these novels you've read, but at the same time, I think I'm probably better without wartime, thank you very much. Even if it might get me out of my 'funk'. I'm only saying it isn't necessary.

And as far as daemons go, I suppose it's nice that you're looking into other options, even if isn't likely to come up in anything other than memes. But that, too, is quite unnecessary.

Don't you have other, far more important things to be concerned about?

Do they ever care if they got better things to worry 'bout? Messin' with us is always preferable seems like.

I should hope she cares a little more about the start of a new school year than pondering what to do with the likes of me and musing on other games to throw others into.

You would hope. Mine's even got two jobs now and she's more upset that no one cares that I'm seein' Xindi where I shouldn't.

It would be better if I wasn't already behind on things I'm supposed to be doing in the one game I'm already at. It's all a bit frustrating, though I realize my brooding isn't helpful.

...I would certainly care if you're seeing Xindi where you shouldn't. Which is anywhere.

...how ya doin' by the way? Have I said I'm sorry for leavin' ya yet?

[sighs] I know ya would, but you ain't on the island now are ya?

Certainly not well, but better than I was before. I'm trying to reconnect to old friends, making my life stable. We'll see how it goes.

Are there actually Xindi on the island, or are you just hallucinating them?

Better is good. I like better.

I...I thought I was just hallucinating but I'm seein' them more and more.

Has anyone else seen them?

Not that I know of.

But considering that we just had a month of half the island forgetting who they were, maybe aliens just ain't weird enough to report anymore.

Of all the things that happen in these games...probably not. I'd certainly find a medic of some sort to check you out, if you've something in your system.

...I thought of that. I'm just 'friad...what if I am just seein' things? Why am I hallucinating the damn Xindi of all things?

~~Beats hallucinating time traveling alien Nazis, I suppose.~~ Could be something you ate or drank, something in the air, could simply be stress.

~~Yes, make the nightmares worse Mal.~~ The place is paradise. What could be stressful?

[doesn't want to talk about this.] Anyway, we were talkin' about you. What's a daemon?

I'm not happy that you're seeing Xindi, Trip.

yeah, but you ain't here, Cap'n.

I'm doing what I can.

...doin' what exactly?

Wait.

Jon...no. You can't.

[small smile] I'm not about to leave my best friend -- two of my best friends -- to go through all that without me. Not if I can help it.

Enteprise needs ya more then I do! I...I'll be fine!

I know you'll manage. That's not in question.

I'm going to try anyway, however.

I don't like the idea of you trapped here with me, Johnny.

Then it's probably a good thing you're not the captain.

Jon...please...I'm being serious.

[nods] I know. And there are times when I take your advice, because you're my third in command, an excellent officer, and my friend.

But when it comes to your own wellbeing, especially given the state you're in, I will cheerfully ignore you.

[groans] I ain't going to be able to talk you out of this, am I?

[claps you on the shoulder]

[humour fading from my face, affection and worry remaining] Not a chance.

[sighs and looks away.] Fine.

But don't say I didn't warn you.

I wouldn't dare.
