Who: Beverly Crusher and you
Broadcast: Network - Video
Action: Blue Fish
When: September 1
[There's a strangely familiar cold that has settled in her bones, a dreadful chill that disorients her in the first few moments that she's awake. Her first thought is that something went wrong - very wrong - as they passed through the temporal distortion, but then... as she sits up and takes in her surroundings, the memories all come back in a flood. Atroma has brought Beverly back, a little older, a little blonder, and with a new Starfleet uniform.
Or maybe I never left, she thinks. This is not the Marsiva, these are her quarters aboard the Blue Fish, and none of her things look as if they've been moved. Though admittedly, her memories of Drift Fleet seem distant. By her reckoning, it's been three years since she's seen this room.
Not that "time" really means much, considering what's happened in the past few days.
The communicator rests where she left it on the bedside table. When she picks it up, she finds it's full of unread messages, crewmates and friends wondering where she is, each message sounding more alarmed than the last. With a sinking feeling in her stomach, she checks today's date: September first.]
Damn!
[Immediately, she sends a message to the network, via video:]
This is Dr. Crusher of the... SS Blue Fish. It seems our gracious captors sent me home for a while. I'm back now, and I'm safe, and I'm sorry to everyone who was trying to contact me this month. I'll be on the Blue Fish if you need me.
[There's a pause, as if she's about to say something else, but then she simply gives them a small smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes.]
Thank you.
[The feed cuts off and after a moment, she decides to head for the kitchen. Not that she's particularly hungry but - there's a good chance that's where she'll find at least a few of her crewmates.]

BREATHE, JENNIFER, BREATHE.
DON'T CRY.
ok she's totally going to cry. Sorry Bev, she can't really speak right now.]
video to action
[Oh god, seeing Jennifer cry just tears at Beverly's heart - and fills her with no small amount of irrational guilt. Three years, for three years she didn't even remember one of her best friends. Her own eyes well up with tears and her voice shakes a little when she speaks.]
I'm coming over right now, don't go anywhere.
[And she'll be there as soon as the shuttle can take her.]

May I say it is good to see you again?

And you as well.
[She has to admit, she's worried that she'll find people have left in her absence, so it's a relief to see many of her friends are still here.]
It's been a long time.

Riona makes a noisy entrance, her boots squeaking on the floor as she slides to a stop.]
Beverly! [Her voice is full of relief as she hurries to her.] We had no idea where you were! Are you all right?
Action
I'm fine. Physically, anyway. A lot has happened since I left.
[Beverly holds out both hands to the other woman.]
But let me look at you. You're all right? And the crew?

Action;
[ So the moment he hears Beverly's voice on the network? Sees her face? He too doesn't bother to respond and race off to find her, feeling a rush of emotions. The kitchen is the first place he looks, because hey that's where the Blue Fish people go. The moment he sees her? He starts tearing up. She's really here. She remembers. Everything is actually okay.]
Beverly!
[Like Sokka, he runs over to hug her right away. ]
Action;
Allen!
[Beverly barely has time to get his name out before his arms are around her. She pulls him in tight.]
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

[A genuine smile of happiness and relief on her face, Wand then adds in a more playful tone:]
I like the hair.

Hmm?
[Her hand goes up automatically to pat her hair.]
Oh! Right. I forgot I hadn't dyed it yet. Thank you... not sure how long I'll keep it, but it's nice to have a change every now and then.

How're you doing?

[She sighs.]
It's been a stressful couple of days, but I'll manage.

Of course that's okay! Though I'd be happy to see you anytime, dessert or no dessert.

Don't worry, it will take more than a little dye to douse the fire.

Why don't you come join us in the kitchen?

She smiles, warm, hopeful, but there's a tentative quality to it as well. She tugs on a long red curl; an absent, nervous gesture.]
Beverly... It's good to see you up again.
