Enterprise? Do you read?

[A curly-headed boy, almost certainly not out of his teens, frowns at the screen. His words are rendered somewhat incomprehensible by a thick Eastern European accent in spite of his obvious attempts to annunciate.]

Ensign Chekov to bridge. Uhura? Sulu? …Mr. Spock? Chekov to engineering. Mr. Scott, can you hear me? There may have been a... ah, a malfunction with the teleporter.

Can anyone hear me?

[He sighs and fiddles with something on his device. The video feed distorts momentarily before returning to normal. When the teenager speaks again, his tone is low and words less painstakingly produced as if he’s speaking himself.]

Ai, what is this? There shouldn’t be interference this far out from the magnetic anomaly. Eto piz`dets…

Pavel—?

[likeboudica]

You're back. [ She's smiling, clearly happy to see him. ] Is Len— Dr McCoy with you?

[likeboudica]

[ And then the actual content of his video sinks in. ] You do not remember, do you.

[likeboudica]

[ No, of course he does not. ]

DONE.

[likeboudica]

You are— this is a place called the City. It is a [ searching for the right words. ] a pocket dimension.

[sixwinged]

"Enterprise" isn't here, as far as I know.

Welcome to the fucking City, shithead.

[candothat]

I have gathered this, thank you.

CHARLEY!

[minigolfandsushi]

[Have a look of befuddlement over the bad Russian accent and the Enterprise nonsense.]

[minigolfandsushi]

Y'know, I always thought you were a bit of a nerd, but I never thought it was this bad.

[LARPer. Dear lord.]

[nohometown]

I read you, Ensign. I'm General Sephiroth, from a very different organization, I'm sure.

You're in a place known as the City. Generally identified as a pocket dimension of sorts, its origins unknown.

[video]

[candothat]

[Someone who speaks his language! Er. In a way.]

General Sephiroth, sir, I am Ensign Pavel Andreievich Chekov, Starfleet officer and representative of the United Federation of Planets.

Sir, has it been verified that this is a pocket dimension?

[totallyinaband]

Sorry, man. You're kinda stranded for now.

[candothat]

So I have been told. Are you a native, sir?

[cametolife]

[ ...more star trek convention goers. really? ]

You're in a pocket dimension. I don't think anything's going to work like it's supposed to.

[candothat]

No, you are right, of course. Transdimensional communication is very difficult.

Is this your home, Miss?

*Wondering when 'tribbles in every City cupboard' curse will strike*

voice;

[prosopopoeia]

Allo, ensign. I am Marie Delacroix, chief engineer of zhe Von Braun. Neither of our ships are 'ere, I am afraid.

voice;

[candothat]

Ah, an engineer! I have not heard of the Von Braun, Chief Engineer Delacroix. Is she a Federation vessel?

[Whut.]

[socoolbrewster]

[YOU FUCKING JERK.]

[dudeimbatman]

Yeah, you're coming in loud and clear, Kid.

Video

[candothat]

This is Ensign Pavel Andreievich Chekov, sir. Are you in a position of authority here?

[entangles]

You're not in your own world anymore. You've been taken to a pocket dimension.

[candothat]

Thank you, Miss. May I ask if you know the nature of this dimension?

video

[synanthrope]

[She looks at him, her eyes a bit wide]

Engineering?

You have a teleporter?

video

[candothat]

[Good topic of conversation!]

Yes! Are you familiar with them? They seem to be uncommon here.

[haring_to_go]

... Do you always speak like that? [ he's referring to the technical jargon, not the accent. ]

[candothat]

[uncertainly] I believe so?

[what_the_flux]

Great scott...

[He remembers you, temporal physics buddy. Curious that individuals from that weekend are now arriving properly...]

voice;

[what_the_flux]

[But of course, you don't remember that. He'll need to look into that.]

Ensign Chekov, was it? I'm afraid you're not in your native dimension, though I suspect that's likely been explained to you already.

[dropkick]

I can see you've been talking to a lot of people.

You get the answers you're looking for so far?

[candothat]

I have, yes, thank you, unless you are familiar with the make up of this universe?

[video;]

[charring]

[She's watching the kid, listening to the voice with a faint wrinkle of her nose. She knows the face, sort of. It's someone else's memory that she knows it from, but she still recognizes it. This one's different somehow. More babyfaced and thinner.

And then there's the accent.

Still...]

You look like someone I've only seen the face of. Name's not Charley, is it?

[video;]

[candothat]

[Her question is met with a sigh that can only be classified as 'overly dramatic.' He looks amused, however.]

I did not think so, but others think differently. I am Ensign Pavel Andreievich Chekov, Miss.
