Star Wreck

While the others were talking about where was the Captain, Truth was drifting around the bridge, carefully surveying the controls and the handful of laptops scattered about. He didn't care much about the fate and course of the ship for he was bored of what he had been doing.... Truth picked up a laptop and sat down in a corner, staring intently at the screen while his fingers flew over the keyboard.

Greece had been sitting on the other side rereading Cool Ways to Make Cools Friends. Though it just seemed to be full of random phrases, such as the section she was just reading. It read, "What was the the best part antennas' marriage? The awesome reception!"

The book had been sold in the Starfleet bookstore, so it had to work. She just had to wait until everyone else finished playing Starscrabble.

The game of Starscrabble came to an abrupt halt when "Cap'n" Jack refused to accept that "raz" is not a word. Tiles were thrown, tears were shed.

"I'm telling you 'raz' is a word, you idiots! First, you won't call me cap'n, and now you doubt my grasp of English? Are you aware that I'm going to get a Fan Fiction Studies degree when I'm out of stupid Starfleet, and my stories have reached the front page of Archive of Our Own?"

Starscrabble was over, just like that, and although the game was abandoned due to conflict between players, they all silently came to the same conclusion: they wouldn't speak of this again.

Jack pointed to the bridgemate sitting in the corner, reading a book. "Yo, you over there! Are you gonna say hi and introduce yourself, or are we just gonna call ya 'You Over There' for this whole stupid mission?"

The tension in the air was real.

So the Tribble hopped on Jack's head and stayed there with a low purr.

Renaye stared at the so called "Cap'n" with a Tribble on his head. It obviously had to be his, but couldn't understand why it had a red sash around it. Did this Jack guy want to be part of a crew so bad that he pretended that his pet was an officer? She was deeply confused about the whole situation. Why was she playing Starscrabble, why was she even there, actually how did she get there? She had no memory of anything prior....
