ATTENTION CREW OF U.S.S. ENTERPRISE
All personnel, report status. (For the record: yes, it's really me; yes, I'm fine; and yes, I remember everything what happened. We can discuss it later.) If you have not made contact with me before, please also note your room assignment and the amount of time it's been since you arrived here.

- Captain Acting Captain James T. Kirk

[Added as an afterthought:]
Mr. Hayes: Thank you for your assistance last night. I hope I didn't make too poor a first impression.

I'm just happy if I improved the situation at all. -H

[doneinthree]

The fact that I'm even standing here is proof enough for me, Mr. Hayes. Besides, any friend of Bones' is a friend of mine — or at least someone I have to respect for being able to get along with him.

[Strikeouts are fairly easy to read.]

[sewenteen-sir.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness you're alright, Captain.

It is good to see that you've returned to us, Captain. I saw notices of people who had come to their senses, but I was still concerned you were not among them.

I am well, and still in the quarters I was assigned to when I arrived.

-Ensign Chekov

[doneinthree]

And thank you for getting me out in one piece, Mr. Chekov. Don't worry, I'm aiming to avoid a repeat episode tonight.

Good. I want you and Spock to rendezvous first, preferably at your quarters, and the two of you can make your way to the main hallway to meet myself and Doctor McCoy. Have you seen the commander today?

[sewenteen-sir.livejournal.com]

Aye, Captain.

As for the Commander, I saw him in passing, though we have not spoken today.

-Ensign Chekov

[doneinthree]

I see. I know there's not much time left in the day, but if you do happen to pass Spock on your way to dinner, tell him what I told you. If not, I'm sure he'll... deduce it using logic or something.

One last question: Are you at all familiar with the layout of the second floor? Answer in the fewest words possible.

- Kirk

[sewenteen-sir.livejournal.com]

Logic, Captain? I do not think such a thing could be deduced through logic, though I will take your word for it. Though I believe he has found us, Captain. [Arrow to Spock's note]

Нет No, sir.

-Ensign Chekov

[doneinthree]

Be careful, ensign. You don't want a Vulcan to hear you doubt the powers of logic.

Ah, well. I suppose not knowing where we're going will make things more interesting.

- Kirk

[sewenteen-sir.livejournal.com]

Considering how many possi

Yes sir. I will be careful from now on.

I do have a map, sir, though I have not been up there personally. I found it posted on this board the first day I was here and copied it. It may aid in our exploration of the area.

-Ensign Chekov

[doneinthree]

[All previous notes in his conversation with Chekov have been taken down.]

Excellent. Expect me to call upon your skills as navigator later, Mr. Chekov.

- Kirk

[sewenteen-sir.livejournal.com]

Yes, Captain! Am I still rendezvousing with Commander Spock?

-Ensign Chekov

[doneinthree]

Yes. Rendezvous point is your room, he'll know where to go after that.

Oh, and take these notes down after you acknowledge. Spock doesn't think it's safe to discuss this in public.

- Kirk

[sewenteen-sir.livejournal.com]

[Chekov has removed the note above.]

Aye, sir.

U.S.S. Enterprise? Tell me you're not talking about a cruise ship.

[doneinthree]

If by "cruise ship", you mean "Constitution-class heavy cruiser", then yeah, I am.

...Tell me you wouldn't use "Enterprise" for something like a cruise ship.

[hadr0n.livejournal.com]

Can't say I'd be especially surprised if someone did. Tourists would eat it up.

You with the Federation?

[doneinthree]

I hope I never live to see the day the name "Enterprise" is used to make money.

That's right. I don't suppose I'd have heard of you?

[hadr0n.livejournal.com]

[a little bleed of ink where the pen rested] Nah, I'm not that popular. The name's Cliff. I work for a trading corporation back home.

Haven't heard of you or your ship, but it sounds like we might be from around the same timeframe. 772SD?

[doneinthree]

Nice to meet you, Cliff. Do you hail from Earth or somewhere else?

[hesitating pen marks] SD for stardate? Sorry, it was 2258 for me. You say you're from the Federation?

[anon, but different handwriting makes it clear he's not Cliff]

[full-score.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you're going by the old calendar system, sir. 2258 is SD 172 where Cliff and I are from. Even though a Federation exists for both of us, it sounds like we come from different universes or something. That isn't so unusual for here, actually.

[doneinthree]

Another alternate universe of the future. Great. I'm beginning to learn that. I suppose it's nice to know the Federation's still thriving that far ahead, somewhere.

[strikeouts gone]

[hadr0n.livejournal.com]

Different universes? How can What year It's good to see someone from the same universe around here. Do we know eachother?

[full-score.livejournal.com]

We met not long after I first arrived here, actually. [hesitation marks] You don't remember?

[hadr0n.livejournal.com]

Afraid not. Didn't think I was old enough for my memory to start going, but you're the second person who says I've been here before.

[hadr0n.livejournal.com]

Same to you, Captain. I'm from Klaus III, if it means anything to you. You're an Earthling then?

What this guy said sounds right. [arrow to Claude's post] Don't think I said I was with the Federation.

[hes-deadjim.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. You, however, have an appointment with your doctor tonight.

-McCoy

[doneinthree]

Do I have to? Fine, but I'm coming to you. Stay put.

- Kirk

[dual-worlds.livejournal.com]

Captain,

I am present and unharmed.

- Commander Spock

[doneinthree]

"Unharmed"? Even after you-know-what?

Rendezvous first with Ensign Chekov tonight. Dr. McCoy is insisting that I go for a checkup first, which shouldn't take more than a few minutes. We'll meet you in the main hallway afterward.

- Kirk

[dual-worlds.livejournal.com]

Indeed, though I must report that it came at the expense of one of my possessions. It is possible to replace, however.

With all due respect, sir, I request that I am allowed to be present for at least a small portion of your discussion with Dr. McCoy. There is a matter regarding yesterday that I wish to speak with you both about privately.

Furthermore, it is my recommendation that we refrain from blatantly referring to any "nighttime" activities on such a public venue.

- Spock

[doneinthree]

[All previous notes in his conversation with Spock have been taken down.]

Okay, recommendation accepted. Although I'm not sure what would happen anyway if we kept discussing it.

Exactly how much privacy do you need for this "matter"?

- Kirk

[dual-worlds.livejournal.com]

The staff members have access to the bulletin, sir, so I believe it is wise to use discretion when discussing potential plans.

A few moments of your time, as well as a safe area that is not in plain sight of other patients, are all I require.

- Spock

[doneinthree]

Noted.

Alright, after you meet up with Chekov, you two can head over to Dr. McCoy's. Do you need the room number?

- Kirk

[dual-worlds.livejournal.com]

Understood. I am already familiar with the appointed place. Mr. Chekov and I shall meet you there, sir.

- Spock
