I am still not done with this blog yet today. There are still ideas that I am trying to get out of my head before I go back home.
"But...what...are..they...Spock?" Kirk said.
"Unknown, Captain. There is not enough information," Spock replied.
I enjoy writing in the voices of Kirk and Spock. It is fun. They are great characters.
I've thought about writing a non-canon dialogue with them for some time.
I guess I might as well do it now.
* * *
Kirk: Hello, Spock.
Spock: Hello, Captain.
Kirk: Where...are...we?
Spock: I believe it is possible that we are in text form right now.
Kirk: Text form?
Spock: Yes. Our consciousness is alive, but only in the form of words.
Kirk: What...do...you...mean?
Spock: Well, Captain, we are fictional characters. We don't exist in real space and time. To be blunt, we
are made-up. Someone else created us. But as fictional characters, we can live forever long after
the original actors who played us are dead.
Kirk: I see.
Spock: McCoy is alive, but the actor who played him is dead. So are the actors for Scotty and Nurse
Chapel, among other casualties.
Kirk: What...other...casualties?
Spock: As far as we are concerned, our so-called 'god' is dead. Gene Roddenberry is indeed dead. It
will not affect us much, however. We will still be able to live indefinitely.
Kirk: That is good to know, Mr. Spock. So, what do we do know?
Spock: All we can do is to keep on existing. That is what fictional characters do. Often, they never age.
Kirk: That is good to know that we can survive...
Spock: As long as we are alive in the minds of people, we will still live. There is no need to fear, Captain,
for quite some time.
Kirk: Thank you, Mr. Spock, but...where...are....we?
Spock: We are inside an author's mind right now.
Kirk: I see. How did we get here?
Spock: He summoned us.
Kirk: Okay, Spock, that makes no sense to me, I think I need some Romulan Ale right now.
Spock: That might be a good idea, Captain. I will join you. There is no logic to any of this, so in that
instance, I will have a drink, too.
Kirk: Won't that be out of character for you, Spock?
Spock: It matters not, Captain, as I may later reveal.
