saw the movie, adopted a villain [spoilers]

Ice could never hold me.

[madmaninabox]

Vitrification and the suspension of cell decay by cryonic procedures, on the other hand, that'll hold just about anything.

[tothelast]

I will be free again, Doctor. It is only a matter of time.

[madmaninabox]

Maybe.

But the people you betrayed, the people you tried to kill -- Captain Kirk and his crew -- are going to live long, full lives. Thanks to your blood, actually. [A tight, cold smile. Isn't that a comfort?]

Maybe it's another three hundred years, maybe it's a thousand. Either way, by the time humanity comes up with another person stupid enough to try and use you, any chance you might have had to go after them will be long dead.

[arach_nerd]

Worked pretty well for a few centuries until someone was stupid enough to let you out.

[tothelast]

Vainglorious, Spider-Man. As it was before, so shall it be again. "Those who do not learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them."

[arach_nerd]

You spent a good long while beating "Do not unthaw Khan. It goes badly for everyone involved" into everyone's heads. They've probably learned.

[vintage_fine]

Mistaking the tool for the craftsman, are we?

SUDDEN REBOOT IN WHICH MY TRUE IDENTITY IS REVEALED!

[tothelast]

Kirk. My would-be friend.

[spoken with some bitterness; this younger Kirk betrayed him.]

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!

[vintage_fine]

Do you speak of me? Or my counterpart? Neither of us sought to betray you.

[glassesnoglasses]

I think you might be oversimplifying the process...

[tothelast]

They may trap me, but their pride will set me free.

[kirk]

Death would have held you far better. Is that what you're saying?

[Because that was an option.]

[tothelast]

Would you, Kirk, be able to kill me now, knowing what you do?

[mischieves]

[ he sounds bemused, if anything. but he's certainly not here to tell you that you were in anyway wrong in your actions. ] That would depend on the ice, would it not?

SPIRIT ANIMAL

[tothelast]

Ice can always be unfrozen, can it not?

[khaned]

You're certain?

[He's less than impressed with his reboot.]

DAD!!! ...or wait. ME!!!

[tothelast]

[It's just an AU. Maybe they can cause a terrifying paradox like the Spocks!]

Did your prisons hold you?

[uhurajustuhura]

We didn't have to show you mercy. Spock didn't have to save your crew, but he did.

[tothelast]

Save them? Everyone, since I have been awoken, has either lied to me, manipulated me, or both. And you think I should be grateful that a Vulcan--who is quite capable of lying by omission--was to turn my crew back over to the very organization bent on their destruction in the first place.

All of this, from the moment I woke up, was for my crew, my loved ones. I do not fault you for doing the same for yours, Lieutenant Uhura, but do not speak to me of mercy.

[lazarustaxa]

As the sages once wrote: this too shall pass.

[tothelast]

"If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by."

[slapdash]

Except when it did. For three hundred years.

Until someone else woke you up.

[tothelast]

And someone else will wake me again. This isn't over, Kirk, not by a long shot.

[unkindness]

Cryogenic stasis may be an old technology, however it is still surprisingly effective.

[She just...headtilts at you, as she is wont to do.]

I hope that you find peace, the next time you awaken. It is not impossible.

[If anyone can forgive being a homicidal maniac and protecting your people above all else, it's Seven of Nine.]

holy sh** seven of nine

[tothelast]

[Look at that, the first person not to immediately judge him. It goes a long way.]

How far into the future must we travel to awaken to a world that won't enslave us?
