Are you sure you know what you're doing?

[earlgrey_hot]

Well, I have to say, in all my years as a Federation Captain, having to deal with Q, the Borg, the Dominion, being sent back in time and all that...

This is definately a first for me. And that is saying something.

I just hope you know what you're doing, mun.

Comments

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

Oh, they usually know exactly what they're doing... [Eying those pips. God, you future Starfleet officers have to change everything, don't you?] Captain.

It's just usually not in our favor.

[earlgrey_hot]

[Haters gonna hate.]

Doctor.

...Yes, I am quite aware that my mun's track record for the ostentatious isn't spotless

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

[Nothing to hate. Just all the confusion because she's used to her rank markings.]

As long as you know what you're getting into. I hope that you won't have the chance to gather any dust. Any plans, sir?

[earlgrey_hot]

Actually, no. I have no idea why I'm here, if I'm honest. Even if I have been briefed on what I'm doing.

He doesn't really have any plans, unfortunately.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

That is unfortunate. Maybe your mundane'll find a dressin' room to put you in. It'd be pretty interestin' to see.

[earlgrey_hot]

He has some vague ideas. But he needs to do something called a...

[Pause]

Canon Review?

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

Ah, yeah. That does help them a lot with placin' us.

[Jo is free of that issue.]

[earlgrey_hot]

It may take some time, I'm afraid.

...That and he seems completely terrified of playing me. I'm not that intimidating.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

My mundane seems to think he's doin' pretty well with you. A canon review can't hurt though.

[earlgrey_hot]

Yes, well knowing what you're talking about is imperative, but having the courage to jump into the unknown is just as admirable.

Yes, I have no complaints, either.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

And there's no harm in takin' that first leap here. You and your mundane seem t'have plenty of support.

[earlgrey_hot]

Yes, I am rather surprised at that.

...And so is my mundane.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

I don't see why. You and your mundane, according to mine, are a pretty awesome combination.

[earlgrey_hot]

Well, thank you, doctor. I'm sure that will do wonders for Mr. Mundane's morale.

[the_other_dr_mccoy]

Glad to hear it! Doctors in my time apparently double as psychiatrists.

[No Jo, that's just your dad and his booze. And it's mostly the booze that does the counseling.]
