Star Trek Page #3

a dumb-hair colonial

who has sex with farm animals.

Well, not only.

This townie isn't bothering you, right?

Oh, beyond belief.

But it's nothing I can't handle.

You could've handled me.

That's an invitation.

- Hey. You better mind your manners.

- Oh relax cupcake, it was a joke.

Hey farm boy, maybe you can't count.

There are 4 of us and 1 of you.

So get some more guys and then it'll

be an even fight.

Guys. Stop it.

Stop it!

Enough!

Guys, he's had enough.

Outside. All of you.

- Now.

- Yes, sir.

- What ...

- I just bought a drink.

- You all right, son?

- You can whistle really loud, you know that?

You know I couldn't believe it when the

bartender told me who you are.

- Who the hell am I, captain Pike?

- Your father's son.

Can I get another one?

For my dissertation I was assigned USS Kelvin.

Something I admired about your dad, he didn't

believe in no-win scenarios.

- Sure learned his lesson.

- Well that depends on how you define winning.

You're here, aren't you?

- Thanks.

You know that instinct to leap without looking,

that was his nature too

and in my opinion something Starfleet's lost.

Why are you talking to me man?

Because I looked up your file while

you were drooling on the floor.

Your aptitude tests are off the charts, so

what is it?

You like being the only genius level

repeat-offender in the mid-west?

Maybe I love it.

So your dad dies, you can saddle for

less than an ordinary life.

Or do you feel that you were meant for

something better? Something special?

- Enlist in Starfleet.

- Enlist?

You guys must be way down on your

recruiting quarter for the month.

If you're half the man your father was

Jim,

Starfleet could use you.

You can be an officer in 4 years,

you can have your own ship in 8.

You understand what the Federation is,

don't you? It's important,

It's a peacekeeping and humanitarian

armada.

We done?

I'm done.

Riverside shipyard. Shuttle for new

recruits leaves tomorrow - 08:00.

Your father was captain of a starship

for 12 minutes.

He saved 800 lives, including your

mother's and yours.

I dare you to do better.

Nice ride man.

It's yours.

At ease gentlemen.

Never did get that first name.

- You need a doctor.

- I told you people,

I don't need a doctor,

damn it. I am a doctor.

- You need to get back to your seat.

- I had one, in the bathroom with no windows.

I suffer from aviofobia. That means fear

of dying in something that flies.

Sir, for your own safety, sit down or

else I'll make you sit down!

- Fine.

- Thank you.

This is captain Pike, we've been cleared

for takeoff.

I may throw up on you.

- I think these things are pretty safe.

- Don't pander with me kid.
