— iece of crap. [ There's grumbling as the viewscreen jostles, bright blue (bloodshot) eyes squinting into it curiously. The would-be handsome face glances away a moment later, eyebrows pulled together; he's sick or was prior to arriving, more worn out from the exertion of walking than any young man ought to be. ] Alright, good. You'll do for the time being.

This is Captain Kirk of the starship Enterprise ordering any and all Federation crewmen to report back with the location of the nearest Starfleet outpost. I'm off-world when I shouldn't be. This "computer" — [ you can practically see the airquotes around his sour tone ] — isn't responding as it should or giving me the information I need. I'm getting nothing but interference when I try and open a standard sub-space channel, the frequency's all off ... damn, this thing's gonna fry if I keep messing with it.

[ Opening his mouth to continue, a hurk noise clogs his throat and hastily, the video clatters to the ground as Jim reels around to vomit into the fountain. Classy. ]

[ Of course, where a sick Jim is, a wild, angry Bones appears. ]

Goddammit, Jim! [ He's there all of a sudden, a hand on jim's shoulder holding him for support and a - somewhat crazy expression on his face. ] Jesus Christ, why are you out of the medbay if you're sick?! Don't move or I'll hypo your ass!

[ He is so not in the mood for this. ]

Right. Have Doctor McCoy look you over once you meet us at our location, that's an order.

[You think she is? But she just nods.]

Yes sir. I'll be at your location --

[She pulls up a map on the device, not questioning why she knows how, and compares their locations]

soon.

[She pushes her way through the crowd, heading towards the Fountain.]

We'll be waiting, keep this channel open. I'm not losing sight of you.

[ It's not as if he'll admit it, but he really doesn't want to move his heavy limbs any time soon. ]

[He'll be treated to a view of the streets from the partying crowds at Xanadu to the more calm & urban area just preceding the fountain. Better be careful, though; the jostling of the video feed might make you queasy.

But soon enough, Uhura is there in person. No feed necessary.]

Captain! Doctor!

There you are. [ He's still leaning over his knees where he's sitting on the edge of the fountain, peaky and a little sweaty at the temples. The sight of Uhura in her red swimsuit takes him back to Nibiru with startling clarity, looking her up and down as oddly as he did himself earlier.

Though he doesn't get up, Jim nods to her with an insistent look. ] Are you okay?
