This particular night, though, he was recovering from hip surgery and couldn't sleep, so he was watching TV. An old episode came on — the one where the crew of the USS Enterprise visited a society that had modeled itself after Chicago gangsters of the 1920s. Kirk and Spock dressed up in pinstripe suits and held court as tough guys.

It's not quite right, but it's what a starship captain would have done — a decent imitation, enough to fool those guys but not the audience."
