❝ Asa Kirk . . . I know of a Sam and James Kirk ------ any relation? I met James briefly, but I was very good friends with Sam. ❞

@starsdreamed didn't ask but got free Una anyway

❝ have you considered learning about engineering? most captains or those within the command track start in engineering. it is something to consider now that you are nearing the age to start your path to Starfleet. ❞

❝ are you adjusting well here? I understand it is hard. you won't be able to communicate with us the way you did with the dreamers. but I think you will learn in time. no one starts off great with people. ❞

himself included. there was time he was more of an introvert. he didn't really try and talk to people and spent most of that time with his head in a book. speaking of . . . maybe Asa will enjoy a book or two? ❝ if you feel overwhelmed you can hide in my quarters. I have a nice little collection of books there if you enjoy reading. ❞

@starsdreamed continued from this old legacy post

Sam doesn't know what the hell is happening at first. The impulse is to find a way to make it stop. His own experience with sudden, vivid memories isn't good. Bad, actually. He used to have to take medication for it. But this isn't like the flashbacks exactly.

For one thing, they aren't his memories.

And Jim isn't a kid in these ones. He's older. Older than Sam, actually, which makes his stomach lurch, like when gravity changes. He'd never been able to get used to it, always felt a little nauseated and disoriented, like everything had gone slightly wrong, like maybe he should've given up his dreams and stayed on his own planet.

Then there are the words, too, only a little less jarring than the memories. "I don't have..." He stops himself. Think it through, Sam, you're a Starfleet officer. "It was temporal. Some kind of temporal thing. It's either that or I'm losing it, and there's nothing we can do about it if I'm just crazy, right?"

Nephew. Jim has a son. At least he'd managed to make some personal connections in his life that he hadn't abandoned. Are there more? A nephew! He'd wanted to be an uncle so badly, and he'd wondered if he ever would be and--

No time to go down that line of thought. They can talk family once he makes sure this nephew of his is okay.

"I think... I think we're in your time. The way my sensors went dead, I think I'm the one who went through." Which would mean he's in the future. He'd left his family behind. Where would Aurelan be now? Where would he be? And his sons would be grown. No, no he doesn't have time for those thoughts either. "If I'm right, you know better than me how we're going to get somebody to notice we're down here and come get us. And that means I need you to be conscious, okay?"

❝ perhaps, I can teach you to meditate. that may help settle your mind if needed. I understand that a transition to a predominately human ship such as this can be . . . difficult for those of us who are more alien. ❞

❝ I hear you are coming along in your lessons quite well. I was worried you wouldn't . . . adjust to living here but you seem to be doing well. ❞ he'd grown fond of the boy in that time, even growing into a sort of father figure. it was something Kirk wasn't used to, but he'd slowly warmed up to the idea and now he was taking Asa under his wing. he'd even grown protective of him.

he motioned for Asa to come closer as he sat upon the command chair, the bridge quiet as it was now growing late in the 'day' and beta shift was about to take place. for once, Kirk planned on leaving the bridge in another's hand to spend some more time with Asa. it was just a matter of time. he wasn't one to live his work half finished. a padd rested in his lap as he waited for Asa to approach.

when he does, a hand reached up to gently ruffle his hair. ❝ one day, this could be yours - a captain in your own right. that's your goal isn't it? ❞
