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.]

[Oh. That's not the sound of familiarity. She tries not to look too crestfallen, but she has no poker face.]

Oh. Uh. No, I don't.

Sorry. I thought you were someone else.

Sorry to disappoint. [He's... really not taking it personally but it did take him back a bit when she looked so crestfallen.] 'S all right. I'm Leonard McCoy.

Sorry! It's not your fault.

[It's so weird. He has the same name as Whiskey did under his callsign, but... He's not Whiskey.]

Um. Hi! [She at least knows how to introduce herself. That's a comforting routine.] I'm Wrath.

You're... Um. Still a doctor, right? Or no?

[He furrows his brow. Still? Seems an odd phrasing.] Yeah. Still a doctor. Chief Medical Officer of the Enterprise.

Re: Video

Oh.. The Enterprise? Like Beverly's ship?

Re: Video

[notanoptimist]

Sorta. [A shrug.] Alternate times, universes. That sort of thing.

Re: Video

[pain_train]

Oh. So you don't know Beverly? She's the best doctor ever.

Re: Video

[notanoptimist]

Dr. Crusher? I met her here. Never heard of her before. [Oh, look, a challenge.] Best ever, huh? That's a lofty title.

Re: Video

[pain_train]

Well, she fixed my back. No one else could.

[She considers if she should tell him that alternate him is part of that no one else. Probably not. It gets weird.]

Re: Video

[notanoptimist]

Yeah? [This is pure curiosity and therefore, a tad insensitive.] What was wrong?

Re: Video

[pain_train]

Oh like so. Um. I got thrown out of a window. Ninety ninth floor. So like my bones basically got all pulped when I hit the sidewalk, so they regrew them from composites. But my back came in all fucked up because of the ports and Whiskey--my doctor--said it couldn't be fixed. So I didn't die, but it hurt all the time and I couldn't barely walk.

Re: Video

[notanoptimist]

[He winces at that, because Lord almighty, that sounds both horrific and impossible. Idly, he makes note of that name again -- and how she'd called him that at first. Huh. There's something he doesn't want to think about.] But here you are now. You're lucky she's as good as she is.

Re: Video

[pain_train]

I am really lucky! The removed the ports and then Vision talked to my nanites so they made my bones better. And I didn't die or anything, even thought hey always told us that removing the ports would kill us. So. It's been pretty cool.
