Cameron left last week. Now Zoe and her crew. And apparently she left me the ranch. I imagine I'll be spending a bit of time there - and of course, anyone is welcome to come out and spend some time there. Horses, nature and the open sky. You can see the stars. I think I might do something there for the holidays.

In other news, I - or should I say my body - is not a fan of the damp cold. I miss the dry cold of the desert. Or a spaceship where you don't normally have this problem.

I gave my Military Tactics class this assignment and decided to share it here: Pick an event from the list of militarty disasters and provide a strategy for how you would have proceeded in the face of certain defeat. You can also submit events from the future / other worlds.

How long does a commanding officer have to wait for information? Or were you attempting to keep things secret?

	To what involvement do you refer? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[KIRK \| PIKE \| SPOCK] daretodobetter 2013-11-08 01:19 pm UTC (link)
	The fact that you two are sleeping with each other. Or perhaps not sleeping. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you two have started a sexual relationship, but I thought you'd tell me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[KIRK \| PIKE \| SPOCK] vulcanmind 2013-11-08 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	I assure that at the present moment, we are neither sleeping nor together. Except in as much as any two people who are currently in the same building are together in the broader sense of a shared address. We are currently occupying separate spaces within the building. He is not within my visual range. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Spock. I was not referring to at this present moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~For the love of~~ When there was something to tell I... was going to tell you. I mean it's not really... a thing. I don't think. Really. I just sort of happen a... lot of times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, if both of you are happy, I am happy for you. I'm not sure which of you I should give the "if you hurt them I will hurt you" lecture. Don't hurt each other. Consider it given. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, yeah... I'll do my best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you'd prefer the full lecture, I can arrange him. It's been awhile, how are you doing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jim \| Pike jameskirk 2013-11-08 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	I'm okay! Trying to figure out what the hell I'm ... doing, really. But that's nothing new. So I'm okay. What about you? I mean, besides what you posted about -- I'm sorry about your friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

What you're doing with Starkfleet or with Spock?

I'm- I'm not sure how I am. Peggy Carter's gone and put the idea in my head about starting an interplanetary Starfleet here, given all the space refugees. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempte.

And well, I suddenly find myself with a ranch, horses, a helicopter that doesn't fly, a truck, money and a cache of weapons.

	Jim \| Pike jameskirk 2013-11-09 02:39 pm UTC (link)
	Both, Sir. And what exactly, do you think an interplanetary Starfleet would be responsible for? Unless you're suggesting that we set up formally to make decisions and...live together. Or. I mean -- You know, I do know a thing or two about living on a farm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jim \| Pike daretodobetter 2013-11-09 02:51 pm UTC (link)
	Take it one day at a time. With Starkfleet and Spock. And enjoy it. Especially the latter. Honestly, I've no idea. Part of it is just the desire to have that sense of family and community back - which feels.. lacking here. I wouldn't want to force anyone into anything. But if you're suggesting a Starfleet ranch... I could be amendable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jim \| Pike jameskirk 2013-11-09 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	You know. I think it's important that we never close ourselves off, that we never isolate. I think we've made the decision not to, and I it's one that I support -- but that said. I think we could all benefit from a space that's our own. We've got the numbers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jim \| Pike daretodobetter 2013-11-09 03:15 pm UTC (link)
	So, are you suggesting making it a Starfleet ranch but not making everyone live there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jim \| Pike jameskirk 2013-11-09 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	Sort of a... Starfleet retreat. Everyone'll have a place, but no one needs to stay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jim \| Pike daretodobetter 2013-11-09 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	Just Starfleet... or other space folk as well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jim \| Pike jameskirk 2013-11-09 04:13 pm UTC (link)
	Them too. I, uh. I like Lee Adama, actually. Have you talked to him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jim \| Pike daretodobetter 2013-11-09 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	~~Like as in like?~~ I haven't actually, but I trust your judgment. I'm hoping to get some more horses out there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jim \| Pike jameskirk 2013-11-09 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	That would be nice, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can come horse shopping with me if you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can assure you that I do not intend to choke him again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Unless he asks nicely.~~ ~~There are some things I don't want to know about your / his bedroom kinks.~~ Well, that is certainly a good first step. I prefer both of you alive and well. [Spock] If you need anything, or to talk, you know you can come to me, correct? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[KIRK \| PIKE \| SPOCK] vulcanmind 2013-11-09 01:41 pm UTC (link)
	As do I. I was displeased by his recent passing. [Pike] Certainly, sir. Though you understand that my discretion is as much habitual as it is a practical consideration. I seldom discuss personal matters. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pike \| Spock daretodobetter 2013-11-09 01:48 pm UTC (link)
	I do. And I respect that. I just wanted to make sure you know that my door is open should you need or want to talk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pike \| Spock vulcanmind 2013-11-09 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you, sir. I will keep your offer in mind, as the situation progresses. (Reply to this) (Parent)
