Who: Leonard McCoy and ota
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: on the Marsiva
When: Oct 29, morning

[McCoy has a blanket wrapped around his shoulders when the broadcast flips on; he's still cold, by God, and he's not above looking a bit silly in an effort to warm up. There's unoffensive music playing in the background and McCoy's eyebrow is fairly twitching in time to it.]

Two questions, for whoever's listening. [He's read everything he can get his hands on, but some things are better from people he can actually question. He holds up his index finger.] Where in the hell are we? I can't make heads or tells of what I'm seein' here.

[He holds up a second finger.] Where can I get a drink? Doesn't have to be good; it just has to burn.

[These are important things to know.]

[The real question in Loki's mind is if this is the one from Luceti. The best way to discover that is to see if the man recognizes him. So fine, video. Slightly bored tone.]

You are on a ship called the Marsiva, having been subjected to trans-dimensional abduction. And you shan't get anything of that nature to drink until you've been allowed off it.

[There's no recognition; just a man huddled in a blanket looking put-out.]

Well, it's a consensus. I've been abducted.

[Something of a relief, that, though he shall have to see if this one has the same buttons to push.]

How nice that reality is agreed upon so widely.

I believe a compatriot of yours is here already. Jim Kirk.

So I've been told. I shouldn't be surprised that a number of people apparently know him -- and have heard of me in the process.

He's a rather garrulous fellow.

I've met a version of both of you before as well.

Now that is interesting. I've dabbled in alternate universes myself. [And he hates it.]

Re: Video

[complicatedliar]

It was in another place entirely to which neither of us were native. These sort of abductions seem rather common.

Re: Video

[notanoptimist]

[That earns a frown.] How common? First I've seen it.

Re: Video

The trick is that people are returned to their universe of origin from places such as this with no memory of it.

So you'd hardly know, would you.

There's gotta be some physical or mental change and I haven't seen evidence of such. [aka he'd know. He'd like to think he'd know, anyway.]
