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.]

That they do.

["They," she says, as if she technically wasn't in command herself at headquarters before.]

In any case, for what it's worth, welcome aboard. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them for you. I'm much more familiar with this place than I'd care to admit.

It's worth enough. I'd like to speak with you a bit about medical facilities here, at the very least. I'd like to know what I'm working with.

[He shifts the blanket on his shoulders.] Soon as I warm up, anyway.

Of course. Equipment in general a little outdated, but nothing I haven't been able to work with.

[Cue an eyebrow raise.] Outdated for me or you?

Video

[dancingmd]

Both. It's closer to 21st century Earth than to either your century or mine.

Oh, this is gonna be fun. [The sheer amount of scorn in that sentence is a thing to behold.]

[dancingmd]

It's not so bad. I've had plenty of time to help improve things.

Well, if you don't mind an old country doctor about a hundred years behind you takin' a look, I'd actually like to put our heads together. Maybe in person. That'd be nice. Might as well try to keep everyone here in one piece.

Trust me, Dr. McCoy, it'd be an honor to have you.

Video

[notanoptimist]

If it's an honor, then I'll trust you.

Then you can find me on the Blue Fish, as soon as you're off the Marsiva.
