poly_chromatic | Commander's Log 001

[ his day has not been a good one. actually, the last few have been... less than ideal. he's been trying to do something a little more normal and had almost no luck. perhaps it's his mind running wild; perhaps it's the lack of personal items he would normally have at his disposal. whatever the case, his days have been... extremely difficult to adjust to. so when he decides to test the system, as it were, he chooses to make his presence known by voice only for now. ]

I realize I am still very new to this City, but I have a question for any who would answer. Do any of you have personal items that you normally have in your own homes, items you no longer have with you? What do you do now, with the emptiness that comes of having lost something extremely important? I find myself... missing certain things and I'm at a loss as to how to connect to something that is no longer with me.

[ it's a vaguely-worded question and he's not sure he'll answer with complete honesty if someone asks what he's talking about, but it's a question that's bothering him now. perhaps the answer is to gather a substitute and make do with what he can here. for better or for worse. ]

Good luck.

[A sensible human. Spock approves.]

I am Commander Spock, of the U.S.S. Enterprise. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[ there's a reason he's janeway's first officer. then again, the other option was a vulcan, so maybe spock would have preferred that. ]

Commander Chakotay of Voyager. I'm Captain Janeway's First Officer. [ a meeting of the infamous first officers. he's also interested in actually meeting spock, no matter which version it is. ] The same to you, Commander. I hope my captain hasn't been giving you trouble.

[ teasingly. really. ]

[Ah, so this is Janeway's XO. Spock inclines his head in curiosity, though it can't be seen over an audio feed.]

No more than mine is giving you.

[Look, he's funny.]

[ wow that's... almost a joke for a vulcan. chakotay is impressed. ]

Then it seems we're all getting along quite well.

[Y'ain't seen nothing yet, bro.]

Indeed. Should you encounter any difficulties, do not hesitate to contact me.

[Because captains can be so trying.]

Acknowledged. And if mine happens to give you more trouble than she is already, let me know.

I wish you good luck, in replacing your item.

[Because humans do luck or something. Spock gives it a few moments for the unspoken nod, and then he disconnects.]

[ he'll get it. it's a shame spock can't actually see it, but chakotay really does appreciate the gestures. ]
