NETWORK BROADCAST ▹ VIDEO;

[ Jim's staring seriously at the camera as the broadcast begins, concern visible on his features. He might be easily recognizable to most everyone on the Fleet, but as soon as he starts talking, it will become obvious that he is not the same man, or at least not having the very same memories. Not of this place, that's for sure. ]

My name is James T. Kirk. I'm... not entirely sure how I got here, but for what it's worth, I'm one of the new arrivals.

[ He presses his lips, glancing around. ] This isn't the first time I've been brought to a universe other than my own, but I was wondering if anyone else here has had a similar experience. Coming here from a place that's not your reality of origin.

[ A pause, ] Specifically, has anyone here heard of Riverview, or the Quarantine?

[ He can't help a hopeful look. A familiar face, any familiar face, will be welcome. He's looking for a specific one, admittedly, but he's not holding his breath on that one. ]

Thank you in advance.

ACTION ▹ SS RED FISH

[ Once he makes that broadcast, he'll be exploring his new location, so he knows what he's dealing with. He can be found roaming the ship, poking his head into all the nooks and corners, and possibly trying to sneak his way into off-limits locations, if there are any. Stop him getting into trouble, or help him? Or just come say hi to a not-quite-new face. ]

[ The inhuman face looking back doesn't appear particularly off-put at all, aside from a raised eyebrow. After a moment of silence, in which the muscles around his featureless eyes twitched minutely as he glanced the other man up and down, he speaks in a strong German accent. ]

This'll be interesting. Hope you don't mind I call you James.

Actually, that's what my fiancé calls me. Sorry.

[ He offers an apologetic shrug, smiling at the camera. The look of the man on the other end of the video doesn't faze him any. He was already used to living among all different sorts of species before Riverview, and his stay there has only helped in that regard. ]

Maybe Kirk? I don't mind that, if you call the other one Jim already. Or anything else you want, really.

[ Just not Tiberius, please. ]

[ Kurt hums in acknowledgement, part of him surprised to hear that another version of the Jim he knew was engaged. But then again, in another world he himself went into the clergy, so in comparison this isn't as surprising. ]

Nein, I'll call you Jim too. I can always think of something irritating to call him. [ A hint of mischief flashes across his expression and is gone, replaced with one of idle curiosity. ] So, this fiance. Is sh--are they here with you, or do you need to be directed to the closest bar?

[ Jim chuckles at that, shooting Kurt a smile. ] Sounds like you two get along. [ It's definitely how his relationship with some of his friends would go. He can recognize that teasing edge to Kurt's words. ]

He's here. Victor Frankenstein. He's on board the Heron. [ He's admittedly curious to see if the name will elicit any kind of reaction. ] Regardless, I won't say no to that drink.

I suppose we do. [His tone and expression both are neutral, revealing nothing of whether he agrees with that assessment. Nor does he linger on the topic, his eyes narrowing as the name of this Kirk's lover rings faintly on memory. Could be just that he'd seen it on the rosters: Frankenstein is German enough that he'd remember it, and Victor was Sabertooth's given name.

Kurt dismisses the thought to puzzle over later, flashing an impish grin.] You always accept drinks from a man you don't have a name for?

[ The way Kurt talked about him, Jim has to imagine they're friends, at the very least. It's a good sign, he thinks. If he likes his other self, then they should get along just fine too. ]

Yes, it's a strict policy I try to keep. [ He cants his head. ] Or you can just give me your name, and that won't be an issue anymore.

Kurt fails at the horror classics

Victor will be very disappointed
