[ So, Luceti, you have Kirk showing up today on our totally hi-grade, super deluxe communication system (haha, yeah right). Anyways, he's there, and he currently has a copy of George Orwell's "1984" displayed in hand. ]

So... I have an honest to god sort of question for everyone. 

How many of you ever thought or believed the stuff in books like this would come true in the future? Or better yet, does anyone actually live in a world like these books describe?

Because, really, the twenty-first century view of the future is... interesting.

Well, to a point, sure. But not like this, where every little bit of you is regulated.

Come on Spock, do you really think I'd sit quietly with someone watching over my shoulder like this all the time?

[Spock's eyebrow slowly raises...

Kirk just fully described what Spock does to him on a regular basis.]

_{[ Well, Spock is special. He's not some big government thing. And Kirk does what he wants, he isn't regulated. Spock can try and convince him, but Kirk will do what Kirk will do. ]}

Hey hey hey, none of the eyebrow thing. Which you still need to teach me how to do, cause it's cool damn it...

I do not see how temperature is related to this conversation Captain.

Smart ass elf. See if I pick up fresh lettuce for you on the way home.

I do not require 'rabbit food' at this time Captain, though I appreciate the sentiment.
