let's just ramp up that confusion

Who: Ezri Dax
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action:N/A unless you're on he Marsiva
When: Now

[It's starts with a young woman rolling off the bed, short hair messy and a starfleet uniform, if you'll recognize the style uniform she wears, a bit wrinkled. And, if anyone has met one, her Trill spots are very noticeable right now. She's fairly groggy yet as she wakes up and pulls herself to her feet.]

Hello? [Where... is she?] Julian? Ben? ... Kira? [Anyone?

Give her a few moments, she eventually realizes she's broadcasting.]

Hello, I'm Curz- Emon- uh... [Ughh, she rubs at her eyes and ruffles at her hair, trying to fully wake herself up.] I'm Dax. Ezri Dax, Lieutenant Junior Grade, I'm the counselor on Deep Space Nine in orbit of Bajor.

I'll pass that along if we cross paths again.

So what is a Deep Space Nine?

video

[musicalhost]

It's a space station in orbit of the planet Bajor. It was originally built by Cardassians but the Federation runs it now.

video

[passingthrough]

Wait, Federation? As in the Enterprise?

video

[musicalhost]

Yeah! The Enterprise is Starfleet's flagship. And one of many by that name.

video

[passingthrough]

Do you know Data or Pavel? That would be, uh, Picard or Kirk's versions.

Re: video

[musicalhost]

I know of them! Data is from my time but my previous host never got to meet him. And with the war, I doubt I'll have a chance for awhile once I get back. Pavel was around Torias and Audrid's time but they didn't get to meet him either. Audrid did meet Christopher Pike though!

video

[passingthrough]

Haven't heard of him. Met a few others through my various abductions though. [She was closest to Data and Pavel.] Deanna Troi, Beverly Crusher, and Dr. McCoy not to be confused with Hank too. [She'd vaguely known of Q and Geordi too, but the names don't come to mind.]

video

[musicalhost]

He was captain of the Enterprise before Kirk was. He just disappeared a few years after he and Audrid met though. [All names she knows though!] Except for Leonard, they're all from my time!

video

[passingthrough]

Some of them are here, but they're probably contacting you soon if they haven't already. [She figures they'll have more connection to the words she used.] How well do you remember all these other people you were? Like it was just yesterday or more like it was a vivid dream?

video

[musicalhost]

Some have.

[That's... a very good question. And a little hard to answer but she tries.] It's kind of both. I could be talking about one thing and suddenly some of my memories overlap and I'll be... someone else entirely for a moment. I was telling my mother once about someone I had been seeing on the Destiny and the next moment, I'm mentioning how he reminded me of my son, Gran. Except that was Audrid's son.

[Sounds hard. Sounds a little like dementia in some ways.] Does it even out with time or is that just joined life for you?

video

[musicalhost]

It'll take maybe a few years but eventually, I'll have it under control. It happens even in people who applied to be joined, and they're prepared.

video

[passingthrough]

Exciting few years and to think you get to do at least some of that here. [Gesturing broadly.]

video

[musicalhost]

I don't know if exciting is the right word but it'll be something!

video

[passingthrough]

Probably not, but I think I come off as a little depressing to others. I'm trying to work on that. Like offering cupcakes when I say the world is ending. That kind of thing.

video

[musicalhost]

Maybe just offering cupcakes? [She's laughing though.] Rather than making some people here like Pavlov's dog, with cupcakes and doom.

video

[passingthrough]

How about just eating cupcakes alone?

video

[musicalhost]

Not as bad. Cupcakes are still delicious.

video

[passingthrough]

And sadly rare here. Space is not great with the food.

video

[musicalhost]

There aren't any replicators here?

[lol what?]

video

[passingthrough]

Replicator? [Letting her voice carry the question while also providing the answer. NOPE.]

video

[musicalhost]

It's a device that will dematerialize material and rematerialize it in anotehr form, so food and drinks, synthehol. Even clothing.

video

[passingthrough]

That sounds much better. Build one of those. [Not entirely serious about the building, but if you do, she has dibs.]

video

[musicalhost]

Maybe once I'm off this ship. And if I can find the right materials. So it might take awhile. [She'll do it.]

video

[passingthrough]

So, I shouldn't start holding my breath yeeeet?
