[ action ]
[One moment she's in a dying shuttle, being transported back to the Enterprise, and the next she's....

.......not on the Enterprise. A wave of dizziness hits her and she has to sit down. Everything seems familiar and yet not. Thoughts explode in her head, almost like memories, but she can't process them. The crowd in this strange garden (Xanadu?) is too thick, too loud, too happy. And there is one other big thing she has to worry about.]

[ video ]
[A woman in a tight red suit appears on the screen.]

Lt. Uhura to Enterprise. [Nothing.] Uhura to Enterprise, please respond. [Still nothing.] Enterprise!!!

[She can worry about where she is and what's happened to her later. Her top priority right now is finding out whether Spock is safe.]



[ooc: Uhura is currently in the middle of the party in Xanadu and canon updated to early in the second movie. She does have her City memories, but it'll take a little time for them to settle in properly.]

I'm reading you, Lieutenant, you're alright. Let's stick to the same channel with Bones.

[ Blergh, his head's all over the place. Rubbing his eyes, Jim straightens. ]

Use this one you've opened to question the locals, you know the drill.

[universaltranslator]

Yes sir.

[candothat]

[The initial excitement over seeing Nyota fades into concern. Not everyone remembers the City once they leave it, after all.]

Uhura?

video;

[universaltranslator]

[Uhura gets Chekov's message on her way to meet Kirk and McCoy.]

Chekov! You're still here. [She lets out a breath of relief. She doesn't want to explain this situation to their commanding officers on her own.]

[candothat]

[Oh, she remembers! That's going to make this whole hey-look-a-huge-chunk-of-the-bridge-crew-just-showed-up thing a lot easier.]

Of course I am. Will you be at the fountain with the captain and the doctor?

video;

[universaltranslator]

I'm on my way there now.

video;

[candothat]

Good, thank you.

Nyota? I'm happy that you came back. You left, and then Lucy left... I was hoping that you weren't away permanently.

video;

[universaltranslator]

Lucy? [She frowns, trying to recognize that name in the jumble of memories suddenly poured in her brain.] Oh! Lucy! I'm sorry.

video;

[candothat]

No, it's fine... she has been here for a long time, and you're here. I did not expect you to bring the captain and the doctor with you.

video;

[universaltranslator]

I wouldn't say I brought them with me... We're from different timelines.

video;

[candothat]

How long has it been, for you?

video;

[universaltranslator]

A year, I think. How long have I been gone?

video;

[candothat]

Only nineteen days.

Have many things changed?

video;

[universaltranslator]

[Too many.]

We can talk about that when we rendezvous.

video;

[candothat]

I will see you there.

[He almost tacks sir onto the sentence without thinking. Right now, Uhura sounds far more like a lieutenant than Nyota.]

[exaltate]

Perhaps I can be of some assistance in locating Lor- La- ...this Enterprise. Is it the name of a person or- ?

[ What a strange name to give a person but her other thought is that it's a horse, and she honestly can't say which is stranger. ]

video; before she reconnects with her friends

[universaltranslator]

It's the name of my ship. Who are you?

video;

[exaltate]

Oh, forgive me. I wasn't aware you were a captain. I'm Lucina from another land, but I believe a ship shouldn't be hard to locate. Do you recall where it was last seen?

video;

[universaltranslator]

I'm not the captain. I'm the chief communications officer.

[She shakes her head and rubs her temples. Getting her memories back is a real headache.]

It's not here.

video;

[exaltate]

Then that message before... you weren't aware of your surroundings. I understand. It seems like a few people have gone home only to return here again without really knowing how. You might be the second I've spoken to today. I wish there was a more permanent return to our home lands, but I'm afraid I haven't uncovered it yet.

video;

[universaltranslator]

Who was the first?

video;

[exaltate]

A man with silver-white hair. He had a very regal face. I believe his name was Raikov. I am not sure if you know him or not, but he had also returned to his home briefly for unknown reasons. I do have on question for you, if you can oblige me- had time moved in your world from when you first arrived here to when you returned?

[ She heard it didn't from Raikov, but she wants to know if that's the case for all or an abnormality. ]

video;

[universaltranslator]

[She shakes her head -- she doesn't know him.]

No. No time passed, and I didn't have any memories of this place.

video;

[exaltate]

I see. Then he was telling the truth.

[ She doesn't know if that's reassuring or not. How is she to warn others about this place if she can't remember it and how can she save them? ]

Perhaps, we truly are cut off from every other realm here, leaving little choice but to wait.

[ Though this might be the last thing she wants to hear at the moment. ]

Forgive me... I don't mean to cause any despair so soon after your arrival. Have you found others from your world?
