About Me

Hello! I'm Ann, also known as Starchild, and I just recently joined the lovely team aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NC-1701 as the resident performer. I'm here to keep spirits high, and the volume higher <3

I perform in the rec room on deck 8 on Fridays and Sundays, and the mess hall on special occasions. Come see me!

FAQ

I'm currently working on getting my degree in Xenobotany. Starfleet usually doesn't allow remote learning, but they made an exception for me since I'd already finished all but the last year of my education a while back. (Yes, I'm a drop-out, what about it?)

Yes, being Admiral Langbroek's daughter does have certain privileges, but I've worked my ass off writing music and singing (and now studying), so despite my assignment on the Enterprise being unconventional, I believe I've earned it.

I did in fact attend the Academy at the same time as Captain James Kirk, but he was an upperclassman and we interacted maybe once. I don't think he even remembers me so please stop asking about it.

My studies are being overseen by Sulu, and he's been an amazing teacher! Probably the best one I've had, don't tell my profs back at the academy.

Be honest as a kid did you ever play mermaids in the pool or try to sing like the sirens in movies and shows growing up or nah 💀

No, I uh... I liked pretending to be a boat.

I'd lay flat on my stomach in the shallowest part of the pool then slowly ease myself out into the deeper water.

Listen, I don't know either, okay? I was a weird kid.

[annlangbroek]

I also did this as a kid. And would on occasion pretend to be a beached whale if we were swimming at the beach or river.

i watched the wrath of khan and i am devastated

[annlangbroek]

Just saw you're a xenobotany student! That was my focus at the Academy. If you need anything feel free to reach out.

Zishaosh, @aenar-quad

Thanks!

Appreciate the offer, could always use the extra homework help.

Right now organic chemistry is giving me the biggest struggle, formulas are so hard to memorize-

Have you had any fun interactions with the alpha shift bridge crew since joining the enterprise? Any drama you've witnessed?

I haven't been on the bridge myself, but I have chatted with some of the alpha crew after my evening performances in the rec room. Not much I'm privy to yet, but I have witnessed several drinking competitions between Sulu and Chekov. Sulu always wins because, despite boasting about his Russian heritage Chekov has zero alcohol tolerance.

Zero.

Can confirm. He will not be receiving a birthday gift from me ever again.

[annlangbroek]

The fact that that he'll barely be able to walk one night and then be strutting through the hallways in the morning like nothing happened

Sometimes I get sad thinking about how young some of our crewmen are- like, you should be at the club rn :(

[icedtsbenson]

Precisely

They should be at the club indeed

I was just conversing with an ensign about Canidae, and our ages came up idly

And they said twenty, and then stopped. No other numbers, just twenty.

I made a face that would have disappointed my ancestors....

Also because what do you mean when I was in my final year of academy you were still in elementary?

[ens-nat-scully]

20 is perfectly suitable age to discuss canidae. I want to discuss canidae. The club is for canidae haters.

[annlangbroek]

Crossing my fingers for shoreleave on Risa.

In the meantime my performances in the rec room can serve as the club. You can dance if you want to 🎶

I wonder if they'll let me do a concert in the bowling alley sometime-

Captain, Please stop putting things in your mouth to figure out what they are. Just because you cannot see the diseases doesn't mean they aren't there. Please stop by my office so I can make sure you haven't contracted another strange virus. - Dr McCoy (@spacedoctormccoy)

Doctor,

No.

While we're on the topic, please do not sniff flowers you cannot identify.

That's how you speed-run death.

[james-t-kirk-enterprise]

(Referring to the ‘make him uncomfortable’ reblog:) how big is it. In inches and centimeters. Give us an exact description.

Goodness. Okay- uhm- 5.5 inches. That's all you get.

The ship was attacked for the first time since I've been on board, and I dropped a chemical I was extracting from a plant on my leg. Bones is pissed at me but tbh it's Starfleet's fault for having us wear TIGHTS EVEN IN THE LABS.

I need to ask Jim if he'll let me wear leggings.

I know it's a bit extra to take it straight to the top of the chain of command but the corruption here runs deep....

[ratinthevoid]

???? in WHAT

[certifiedbiposts]

we getting bicurious in the catacombs 💯‼️

[kitkatpancakestack]

unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

[annlangbroek]

Ahem, Helen Noel--

[annlangbroek]

My goodness this ship is an absolute maze. It's been what, 3 weeks here? and I still can't get around without a map.

I've already wandered into several restricted areas. Embarrassing.

If you know what i mean

But this mission isnae over yet. An' it won't be fer a long time. I'm not goin' anywhere if I can help it!!
