[ 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.

Vulcans.

[Why does that sound familiar...Spock.]

They are from a...television show?

Uh, well, I guess in some universes, I am. It's definitely not a show to me, it's my life.

Name's James T. Kirk, but Kirk works fine.

It sounds familiar, that's all.

Nice to meet you, Laura the Time Traveler.

So, if you can travel through time, what's your favorite period of time?

[voice]

[girlverine]

[A pause.]

I cannot usually travel through time. They were...extenuating circumstances.

And I prefer the present.

Re: [voice]

[universal_charm]

Fair enough. And probably best that you can't hop through time as you please, but you've heard my piece on that already.

[voice]

[girlverine]

Yes.

So why were you asking these questions?

Re: [voice]

[universal_charm]

I was just curious really, and bored. I'm not meant to be earth-side this long.

[girlverine]

...Where you would prefer to be?

Re: [voice]

[universal_charm]

Oh my ship, the Enterprise, out in space. I'm aiming to get the five year assignment I hear is in the works - go out and explore new worlds. How cool is that?

[voice]

[girlverine]

[Well.]

That does sound...cool.
