One problem with the story.
When Sulu saw the rainbow flag he would have begged Kirk to transport down, and stay there!
:)
i had to fight that
i wanted to say something about Kirk telling him to keep his haands off Checkov, but... “Hey, Hey, We’re the Monkeys” kept running though my head, and then the Beach Boys “409,” and then i just lost my train of thought....
But-—you funneh :)
...you made me do this, it’s your fault, i have witnesses! :
Sulu briefly glanced at Kirk and noted the rushed tension. He said, “This planet is dominated by a media-based, world-propaganda machine under the command of several main, domineering forces-—all under a flag of rainbow colors. They appear to worship homosexuals, and...ooh! ooh! could I beam down, sir?”
“Not now; maybe later, Sulu. Continue.”
