When I challenge people to do better, this is not what I have in mind.

That's not the most encouraging start to this relationship, I suppose.

[with_discipline]

These relationships rarely have encouraging starts. Captain Pike, correct?

[letspunchit]

So I'm learning.

That's correct, ma'am. I'm Captain Pike. To whom am I speaking?

[with_discipline]

Commander T'Pol. I've met several officers from your time period in my experiences with these 'games.' It has been very...enlightening. [NOTHING WILL CHANGE in the next hundred years, she's almost certain of this.]

[letspunchit]

Commander T'Pol. It's an honor.

...I'm afraid to ask which officers you find so enlightening.

[with_discipline]

[She arches an eyebrow.] I'm certain you can guess which officers they were.

[letspunchit]

[There is the tiniest of weary sighs.]

I can think of a handful of likely candidates among my crew alone.

lmao, that icon

[with_discipline]

That speaks well of Starfleet.

I've come to view Jim Kirk as a friend, in any case.

hahaha yes, he loves his crew but sometimes they fill him with feels :|

[letspunchit]

As have many.

...Including me.

He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but he's a good man and a good officer.

so many feels :| They make him a grouchy old man. :c

[with_discipline]

Agreed. [That eyebrow arch means she's amused.] He's spoken highly of you in the past.

right? he knows starfleet needed officers like that but did they ALL have to be in his crew now :|

[letspunchit]

It's good to know I made an impression on him. Thank you.

GET OFF MY LAWN dirty up your own brand new spaceship ;;

[She's learned not to point out when things are meant as statements and not compliments. If it helps them deal easier, she's not about to correct it.] Did you doubt that you had left one?

KIDS THESE DAYS NO RESPECT this is why we can't have nice things :|

[letspunchit]

There are times, yes. You have to wonder, at times, if you're getting through to that one or not. But you usually find you have, even if he's left you wondering.

Has that been your experience, too?

nice things like new ships and golden gate bridges :|

[with_discipline]

Curiously, yes. That has by and large been my experience with him.

or original timelines. though i guess that was really the romulans acting up and not his crew. :|

[letspunchit]

He seems to be rubbing off on the rest of my crew.

....those bastards.

[with_discipline]

That would not surprise me. [...Insofar as anything can.]

SO rude.

[letspunchit]

Where did you meet him?

Romulans always fuck things up. :|

[with_discipline]

Aboard a barge. We've been serving together for nearly three years.
