A second chapter of Chris winning Una over - much to her confusion - one meal at a time.
Writing the rest of this chapter gave me a small moment of peace in today, and I hope it might give you a little cheer as well, if you need it.
Trektober Day 3/5: Public/Rough Sex
(Scene post-Chris' worst ex-situationship ever - AKA Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach - at the end of a briefing)
Chris: *bangs a padd on the table out of frustration, then another* Una: Stop that. How would YOU feel if I banged you on the table? Chris: I— Chris: I don’t know the correct answer to that question.
Trektober Day 2: Restraints
(Scene post-Ghosts of Illyria. Chis is ALL IN on his support.)
Chris: I got us matching friendship bracelets, so you can't say I don't care about our relationship. Una: These are handcuffs. Chris: Yeah, 'cause we're partners in crime!
Trektober Day 1: Blindfold
(scene post-pilot episode, Chris' quarters)
*door chimes and Una enters*
Chris, standing with his back turned: I’ve been expecting you, Una. Una: How did you do that without turning around? Chris:... To be perfectly honest, the first couple of people I did that to were not you.
Away Missions with La'An and Sam!
Chris: La'An, keep an eye on Sam today. He's going to say something to the wrong person and get punched. La'An: Sure, I’d love to see Sam get punched. Una: Try again. La'An, sighing: I will stop Sam from getting punched.

Chris and La'An Bonding
*Chris and La'An sitting in jail together* La'An: So who should we call? Chris: I’d call Una, but I feel safer in jail.
SNW Lost in Translation Episode Synopsis
Una: What the fuck is wrong with you?! Pelia: Wow, you could start with a 'good morning'. Una: Good morning. What the fuck is wrong with you?!
(That's it. That's half the episode.)

At the panel today, the moderator asked Yetide Badaki about the relationship between Neera and Una in Ad Astra Per Aspera. Specifically if we were supposed to interpret it as a past romantic relationship, or just a friendship gone bad, and if there is unfinished business between them.
A Non-Exhaustive List of Twenty-First Century Concepts
That Chris would be genuinely enthusiastic about and Una would go along with because she likes being an agent of chaos and suffering:
- Abbreviations (i.e., text speak)
- (Chris: What a fun way people used to chat with each other by comms! I'll send this to the comm team so they can reference it in the weekly ship's bulletin for their 'Fun Notes.'
- Una provides orders only in abbreviations for a solid month until the entire crew has memorized the article in self-defense. Then she switches to disdain and asks everyone to 'Speak in Standard, please. You're on duty.' She submits the results to Starfleet as a report on recommendations for conducting routine exercises in Handling Psychological Warfare.
- This does come in handy the next time aliens try to take over the ship and the crew uses Text Speak to blatantly organize their secret rebellion out loud and frustrate their captors to no end.
- Chris: I didn't realize the Fun Notes section was so popular!)
- Camping rough
- (Chris: Hey, you can ride horses out to the site. And there's fishing - Joseph will be happy.
- Una, planning on how to sabotage their gear so this also qualifies as the required Annual Survival Training exercise everyone keeps avoiding: Excellent idea, Captain. I'll handle the supplies.)
- Festive ugly sweaters
- (Not sure what Federation holidays exist - Founders Day Ugly Sweater Party in the Captain's quarters? Attendance and ugly sweaters made mandatory through the XO's subtle threats. If you show up without a sweater, one will be provided. You do not want the one provided.)
- Halloween
- (Chris: ...and then people go through a haunted maze! Or house. Or field? I think there were variations on the theme. Unless it's a very long maze. Oh! And then everyone gathers around to eat themed snacks and watch scary visual entertainment.
- Una, mentally making a list of their crews biggest fears and how to terrify the living daylights out of them via decor: That seems like a lot to plan on your own. Why don't you organize the snacks while I take care of this 'haunted experience?')
- *Matching* festive ugly sweaters
- (Chris: Team bonding! After all, last year's Founders Day Party went very well.
- Una, with eyes already on the prize of forcing their entire senior staff into matching hideous knit monstrosities with emblems of all the Federation planets in neon colors and a row of Vulcan hand salutes around the hem: Absolutely. That will definitely build camaraderie.)
#the possibilities are endless#as are the ways that una will turn them into a training opportunity#and sure you might have recurring nightmares or flinch when someone says lol#but doesnt that still beat a two hour seminar or 60 slide powerpoint on contingency planning and incident response?#strange new worlds#christopher pike#una chin riley

Happy end of the year!
Guess who finally got a weekend free from work for the first time in three months and decided to spend it writing three different fics? It me! (Also, hi, yes, I'm still alive and I haven't forgotten my Recovery fic. We'll get there, I promise!)
This fic is a small celebration of the festive season, and will have a short installment everyday between 26 December and 06 January. Please enjoy the second time I've inflicted emotional distress on a fictional character through the medium of that most harrowing of songs: The Twelve Days of Christmas. (Sample recipes are provided, though not tested, just in case anyone feels inspired or confused.)
25 December (Ancient Terran Calendar): The prologue (no recipe)
26 December (Ancient Terran Calendar): A partridge in a pear tree (Partridge with Pears and Christmas Stuffing)
27 December (Ancient Terran Calendar): Two turtledoves (Turtle Candy [using chili-infused chocolate – because Una])
28 December (Ancient Terran Calendar): Three French hens (Country Chicken and Biscuits)

M'Benga: How would you rate your pain?
Number One: Zero out of five stars. Would not recommend.
Chapel: You're no longer allowed to criticize things I say.

She looks like she could rip a Gorn ship in half with her bare hands if she could just get the right leverage.
