Potentially Ruby City? Eventually?

[doctor_not_a]

Now wait just a damn minute there, little lady! You're writin' out an entire application and yer not even sure yer gonna send me to that god forsaken city?

... I can live with not goin' at all, as I'm sure you know. My Spock is irritatin' enough, I'm not going to deal with a young Spock who apparently left Jim on the surface of a frozen planet. Not that Jim couldn't use a little coolin' down on occasion but that was a bit out of line, even for Spock.

Now, little miss Mun, if your gonna be doin' this, I suggest doin' it right. If you can convince someone to post a Test-Drive meme, since no one seems to care for 'em when you post 'em. You can get plenty of practice there rather than here.

Why does she want to send you there? Memes are the best! You don't have to be tied down, and you get to meet a lot of really cool people.

And some not so cool, but that's give and take.

[doctor_not_a]

Somethin' about havin' a good laugh at an alternate Spock talkin' with and old fossil like me.

[Whoa whoa! Mun, you didn't not just make him call himself a fossil >(]

I'm sure I can handle a few of 'em.

[beifongfrenzy]

An old fossil? [Just have her laughing, totally agreeing.]

[doctor_not_a]

[Smirking. Just a bit.]

Well, maybe not a fossil but I've certainly seen a few more years than I expected, being on the Enterprise.

The sound of your voice is annoying!

You should just do what your mundane ordered you and not say a word about it. Let alone give her worthless advises.

[doctor_not_a]

Ma'am, I'm not sure who you are, but I don't believe you quite understand just what is at stake with this: my sanity.

I'll be dealing with an alternate and very much younger version of that pointy-eared bastard. If that ain't irritating, I'll eat my boots.

[goddess_of_fertility]

Your sanity? It is your existence that is at stake human!

If your mundane decided so, it means she is right! Irritating or not this is the will of your mundane and you have no choice but to follow it.

[doctor_not_a]

If God wants me dead, I'd be dead already. As it happens, I've seen my life through her eyes and I'm pleased to see that I get to take a gander at just about every single Enterprise that has been commissioned. A girl like her won't place any risk on my existence, ma'am.

Now there ain't no being anywhere that I right or wrong about the things that impact my life most, except myself.

[original_fine]

Spock left me on a frozen planet?

[doctor_not_a]

Apparently so but that girl "in charge" doesn't seem t'be willing to give me any more details than that and the fact that our Spock was there already.

[He's gonna need a stiff drink his first day there...]

[original_fine]

Time travel is always confusing.

[doctor_not_a]

That's probably why Starfleet tells us not to do it.

_{[Oh shush doctor and look at the tribble coo on your desk. Just chillax, forget the Vulcan, forget the city and feed him. He's hungry!]} {coo warble wiggle warble coo}

[doctor_not_a]

[...... Fffffffffffff--------]

Now where the hell did you come from?

[God... so cute. BUT NO FOOD FOR YOU! He remembers the millions of tribbles they had before. Never again.]

[ensigntribble]

{Irritated coo! Angry warble!} _{[Feed me! He coos a little more, shuffling on his desk towards the empty coffee mug. Fine, he'll go to bed. Screw you and the hypospray you wield, doctor!]}

[doctor_not_a]

[What, do you plan on sleeping in his mug, or something? No, come back here! He's going to hold and pet you. And pretend he wasn't if anyone comes snooping.]

[altivolus_aquila]

Y-Y-You too, m-mister?

[doctor_not_a]

That's right, kiddo. Unfortunately.

[altivolus_aquila]

So, w-what clan are y-you part of t-then?

[uss]

Hey, any port in a storm. Or on an ice planet.

[doctor_not_a]

Lookin' on the bright side, Jim?

[uss]

Call it the arrogance of youth. Good to see you're pretty much surly at any age.

[kejal]

That sounds complicated, and I thought being stuck fighting was enough.

[doctor_not_a]

God knows that nothin' can ever be simple, ma'am. Gotta say I'm glad I won't be fighting, should I go.

[kejal]

Complicated seems to be Starfleet's way, and you're lucky, it's all I seem to do.
