It would appear that time is a more delicate entity than belief would have it.

[ Her voice is curious, if cautious. The sounds you would hear for someone being outside are audible - sounds of the forest, to be specific. Helen isn't quite certain as to how she arrived here - could Adam's portal's stretch so far? She didn't know, and she wasn't prepared to pose the question with more unknowns than that around ]

We're often told to be careful with it, for it may simply just pass. [ And doesn't she know it ] But what about when it stops?

[ Helen's speaking more to simple fill the gap until she's certain she's ready to ask something - and she knows what to ask, although she's hoping to see something other than this forest first (or that may become the question) ]

Or paused. Doing that may sound difficult in of itself but how would you restart it? One would hope so, lest everything cease. [ And she's seen that before, and it didn't go with time stopping.

But there. There it is. The edge of the forest and... something else indeed ]


Thankfully in this case it would seem that all is well, or at least that time is moving. [ All is not well when you're not where you should be ] But when? I'll forgo the where, [ For now. If you hadn't learned that she was new by her unfamiliar voice than this was your cue ] and settle for when. What year is this? [ It's important when you've extensively travelled ]

Locally, the year is 2013. Do you time-travel often?
candothat: (Relieved)

Three years in which direction?

Ah, then the technology should not come as a shock.
candothat: (Smile: Pleased)

There is very little to see.

2258, ma'am.
candothat: (Let me explain)

Which direction are you facing? There is a city bordering the forest on one side and a beach on the other, but you may be walking for some time if you aren't going in the right direction.

More than a little. I thought that the technology here was unbearably primitive.
candothat: (Cadet: Patient)

Left? [There's some shuffling on this end.] Go east-southeast... one hundred-twenty degrees to your right.

It could be worse.
candothat: (Joking)

The city, ma'am. [Maybe he shouldn't assume that's where people want to go just because he would rather be directed towards a city than a beach.]

I don't want to imagine that or give this place ideas. We could wake up tomorrow with nothing but rocks and clubs.
candothat: (Smile: Whatcha gonna do)

For a day or two, perhaps. [Hey, Starfleet teaches its officers how to survive in low-tech (or no-tech) environments. There is, however, a difference between surviving and enjoying, and Chekov would certainly not enjoy such a curse.]

You have had the curses explained already?
candothat: (Keptin?)

[Unfortunately, the apocalypse is always a very real possibility.]

You seem very calm about being marooned in a dimension where curses are common.
candothat: (Smile: Small)

[personal profile] candothat 2013-05-26 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I have never heard the curses called a reasonable possibility.
candothat: (Not sure if joking or)

There are more unreasonable things than transdimensional travel, true. [Not that it's an everyday occurrence, even in the space-faring future where ion storms and other issues occasionally wreak havoc with transporters.] Do you know much about the subject, Miss...? Eh--sorry. What is your name?
candothat: (Let me explain)

Helen, thank you. I'm Pavel Andreievich Chekov.

Are you a scientist?
candothat: (Relieved)

You as well. May I ask--are you a medical doctor? The City has a hospital.
