Video
[Victor finally changed out of the striped suit he'd been wearing when he arrived. Not knowing if there was a proper medical uniform, he went with blue scrubs. Seemed like a safe bet. His hair is still darkened, since he didn't want to waste resources getting hair dye. And he's already made himself at home in the Heron's sick bay]

So I finally made it onto a space ship. I want to be excited about it. We're going to be out there exploring new worlds, discovering new life, boldly going and all that. And yet... [He sighs] This isn't really how I thought it'd go. Though if this is some ridiculous reality show, it would figure that they did it this way. Increasing drama, I guess.

Crew of the Heron, I'm your new medical officer. Or doctor or whatever it's called here. I'll keep my office hours flexible if you need anything. I've heard a lot of stories about living and working on a star ship. In spite of everything, I'm looking forward to it.

[And with that, he sets about cataloging all the stuff in the sick bay so he knows where all the medicine and equipment is. He doesn't know whether or not any of his new crew will come by, but he'll keep the door open for them just in case]

Yeah, so I heard. My boyfriend's a captain on a star ship, so he's told me about what it's like.

[Mentioning James doesn't hurt as much as he expected. Probably because he thinks the other is going to show up here eventually]

Oooh, really! Is he one of the captains we have here in the Fleet?

I have no idea. I didn't see him in that welcome area, so it's unlikely. But then, they might've kept us separate for ratings or something.

If he's here, he'll respond to this.

Okay, I'll wish you luck then! I hope he finds you quickly.

What's his name? I might be able to let you know if he's already here, I've been with the Fleet for a while.

[Victor isn't sure he wants to get his hopes up. And even if this person recognizes the name, there's no guarantee it'll be the version he knows]

He'd be going by Jim. Jim Kirk.

Oh, there's a Jim Kirk in the Fleet! I haven't spoken to him much but he's definitely here.

Hm. Well, he still may not be the one I know. I'd have to talk to him to find out.

Good luck! I'll be rooting for you, um...did I get your name?

You didn't, but it's Victor Frankenstein. [People either recognize the name or don't; Riverview's taught him there are some worlds where he's an unknown]

It's very nice to meet you, Victor. I'm Sorey. [So no recognition here, at least!]

Nice to meet you, too. Thanks for your help.
