Internal Communication from Crewman Michael Rostov to Ensign Stephen Tanner

[mrostov]

Stephen,

I'm okay, love. Miffed, pissed and a headache. But fine.
You won't believe who shot me. The guy looked like me - my doppelganger - called himself Michael Nikolayevich Rostov.

I wonder if they have a Stephen Tanner on board that pirate ship, don't you?

Love,
Michael

Michael

I'd have come and hugged you and fussed over you in sickbay, but there was this pesky thing about the bridge wanting to fire torpedoes. Glad you're okay - but you do have a delayed fussing over in your immediate future. Just FYI.

Doppleganger, huh? That would have been an interesting conversation.

was your twin as cute as you are?

Stephen,

I guessed you'd be occupied with the ship - no worries.

Well, my doppelganger barely said a thing before he shot me. Did I tell you he's got the same name as me? Almost that is. He called himself "Michael Nikolayevitch Rostov". Bearing in mind that Nikolai was my father's name, it's just weird.

Do you remember what that 20th century show was where they showed eps with all those weird scifi things? Weird for them, that is. Methinks this would have fitted in perfectly.

Anyhow, they don't let me write long emails - think I still have to rest my head. Just drop by as soon as you're able.

Love you.

Michael

Michael,

Remind me to make it up to you later on.

As for your doppleganger - weird, huh. Everyone seems to have a twin - you, Malcolm, Trip Tucker, the Captain...I hear that Travis' double was Captain of the pirate ship.

Romero passed through here a little while ago to help check in the weapons that were issued out. He kept smirking at me and dropping hints. I think he knows something. Though I don't get the Chef references...

One to ponder, anyway.

Rest that pretty head. I'll be by to take you home as soon as I'm able.

hugs+love
ST

In the bigger bed :-)

*is in bed, wearing pj pants only, upper half covered with the blanket*

*dozes*

Re: In the bigger bed :-)

[ensigntanner]

*opens the door*

*sees the room half-lit*

*creeps in silently*

*watches Michael doze*

*smiles*

Re: In the bigger bed :-)

[mrostov]

*opens eyes carefully as he heard someone coming in*

Hey, lover.

Re: In the bigger bed :-)

[ensigntanner]

*sits on the edge of the bunk, resting one hand casually on Michael's chest*

and here i was thinking i was being quiet

*without thinking, strokes Michael's chest*

How are you feeling?

*looks closely*

[mrostov]

Me? A pirate? I dunno.

My life there... oh gosh, listen to me... Anyhow, my counterpart's life must have been much different to choose that side instead of entering Starfleet. But then, their universe is different, so far I heard. What I heard about the emperor looking like Malcolm Reed... gives me the shivers. Maybe that *is* the right way for the other 'us'.

Re:

[ensigntanner]

*considers*

maybe. Or maybe we just wanted to stay with the Awesome Foursome. Captain Travis - I can't wait to tease Trav over that....*breaks into a yawn*

Gah, sorry. Not the company, I swear!

Re:

[mrostov]

Oh god. *yawns*

You think there's an Ethan over there too?

Re:

[ensigntanner]

we'll have to ask Trav...*curls up, feeling very sleepy*

he was over there

*drifting off*

Love you, darling. Glad you're safe...
