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.]

Don't worry, it will take more than a little dye to douse the fire.
[She tilts her head.]
Why don't you come join us in the kitchen?

Just me right now. [Small smile.] Me and a kettle of tea, if you'd like some.

[She hopes that's the correct response to such a request. She's still trying to learn the social rules of Westeros.]

[ and true to her word, she gathers herself from her quarters and ventures down the hall. it isn't a long journey, but she tended to avoid making it during the more commonly active hours on the ship. gratefully, she finds beverly alone in the kitchen. polite as ever, she curtsies. ]
-- You look well. [ despite the different hair! ] I'm glad. Everyone was worried.

[She smiles again, reassuring.]
But I promise, I'm unharmed.

-- May I ask what they did to you?
[ was it horrid? ]
action
I don't know. All I remember is returning home for a few years, yet I can't shake the feeling that there was...something else.

[ she echoes those words, twisting them into a question. ]
