[ANTI-KHAN FILTER]

Hi, I want to introduce myself. My name is Uhura. Apparently, I've been here before, but I have no memory of that, so I feel like it would be best to start from the ground up. I apologize if I have forgotten something important about you.

I do have a question for everybody: what languages do you know other than the one I'm speaking in now?


[PRIVATE | STARFLEET COMM FREQUENCY]

Lt. Uhura of the USS Enterprise, reporting in and hailing any and all Starfleet personnel. Please respond.


[ooc: She's already read most of the network and studied almost everybody since that is what she does. The Eye of Nyota is always watching. Or the ear. Whatever.]

Well I'll be damned, darling. Got yourself holed up in this mess again like the rest of us, haven't you?

[ he's shaking his head, although he is somewhat pleased. ]

Talked to the two idiots yet?

[ you know who. and shut up, he's so will insult your bf any time he wants to!! ]

[But that doesn't mean she'll let it fly!]

I'm not sure what two idiots you're talking about, Doctor.

[Can you hear her linefacing, McCoy? Can you? Huh? Huh?]

[recognize_an_opportunity]

English, but I guess that goes without saying. Yiddish. Russian. Enough Italian to get by. Some Polish. Why?

[phonetical]

[She could answer in Federation Standard, but it's more fun to reply in Russian.]

Pure curiosity. I have a love for linguistics.

video; here, have a skinny teenager...

[skintoskin]

You've been in a bar fight before... except maybe it was, like, another you. Anyway. We've met, but haven't. You know?

I only speak English. Sorry.

Oh, and I'm Neil. A friend of Checkov.

[phonetical]

Another me. [She lets those words roll around her mouth for a second.] I doubt that. I'm not a bar fight type of person.

Don't apologize. I was just being curious. And hello, Neil. Nice to meet you.

[ Since he's already briefed her on events and met with Uhura, Jim's granted a lot more freedom when this transmission is made. ]

Is Bones being rude to you, Lieutenant? Should I take disciplinary action?

[ /brofist So, so serious and on the open Starfleet line, too. Let the trolling fun begin. ]

[phonetical]

What happens if I say yes? Does he hypospray me too?

[She's seen what happens to you when you argue with Bones, Jim. No bueno.]

[ if there's anyone who's mastered the act of eyerolling on an open channel, it's bones. ]

Got something to say to my face, Captain?

[vdova]

Russian, Italian and Latin, mostly. [ And a few others she's keeping under her belt, for now. ]

[phonetical]

[Oh, aside from how screwed up this place is, Uhura is in linguistics heaven. She gets to reply in fluent Russian again.]

Seems like Russian is very popular here. Any idea why?

video;

[brobeforehos]

What other languages do you know?

video;

[phonetical]

Swahili, Russian, a little Farsi, and some Japanese.

[And a ton of others, but she's sticking to the common non-xenolingual ones and in her time, obsolete languages.]

[excelsiors]

Well, because you said please.

_{( you can hear the grin in his voice. )}

Welcome back, Uhura.

[phonetical]

Sulu. [She grins back because now all they're missing is Scotty.] Now I want to see what would happen if I didn't.

audio; British accent is a 'go'...

[ladycroft]

You've been here before?

Interesting.

And I know a few languages, other than English.

audio;

[phonetical]

That's what it looks like. [And boy is it disturbing.]

Which ones, if you don't mind me asking?

video » for fun :)

[olduvai]

[ he's... somewhere. it's kinda dark, but there's obviously a desk and he's obviously got a lamplight on so you can still see his face. ]

Seems to me like they enjoy bringing back people who don't have previous memories of the place.

video » this is not fun!!!

[phonetical]

[Ah yes, the lookalike. Uhura saw this on the network and took many notes. She still is taken aback at the similarities. It's just a natural response.]

Is that what happened to you too?

audio | starfleet frequency »

[directives]

I'd say "welcome back," but there's nothing welcoming about being pulled into a temporal anomaly against your will. I trust your captain has already been in contact with you.

audio | starfleet frequency »

[phonetical]

[Somebody's straight to the point. And with the use of "your captain", Uhura correctly guesses that this much be one of the other crew members she was told about.]

I was. May I ask who I'm speaking with?

Video

[lefthandedgenius]

[In English,]

Modern Latin and Archaic Latin. I've got a little bit of a working knowledge of Ogham except I don't know if you'd count that since it's solely a written language rather than a spoken one.

Also, I like your earrings. Where'd you get them?

Video

[phonetical]

I think Ogham would fall more into the alphabet section linguistics, but for ease of conversation, I can let organization go this time.

Oh, these? [She reaches up and touches said earrings, causing the stones to flash from white to baby pink. Gotta love color changing jewelry.] They were a gift from my mother a few years ago.

action, fite me

[logistical]

[Spock hasn't been hovering nearby, but he's been giving her enough space. After she's been on the network a while, responding to whoever hails her, he approaches, watches.]

Has your sweep been satisfactory?

action | /punches you across the universe

[phonetical]

[It's nice to have space when you're getting the lay of the land and people where they remember you and you don't. Uhura glances up and nods, humming out her answer before turning off device the completely.]

Mmhmm. Russian seems popular here, a few other people speak dead languages fluently, and there's somebody else who's interested in learning Swahili so I'm going to teach her.

[She might even like it here.]

[mightbeconcussed]

Hi. The ground is always a good place to start. Clean slate and all that.

I'm Lucy, since you don't remember me, which I'm totally not judging you for.

[phonetical]

I'm sorry that I don't. I'm not sure how or why my memory has been wiped.

[candothat]

[LATER.]

Have you decided where you will stay?

starfleet frequency » audio

[phonetical]

Yeah, I'm going to get my own place. Just upstairs from the Captain.

[And not too far from Spock.]

Can I ask you something, Chekov?

audio » starfleet frequency ;

[valedictory]

Lieutenant.

[ A polite acknowledgement for his senior officer. Which everybody is. ]

I'm Ensign Harry Kim, operations officer of the starship Voyager.

audio » starfleet frequency ;

[phonetical]

Mr. Kim. A pleasure to meet you.

[She returns the politeness, the kind you give to strangers whether they are above or below you.]

Captain Janeway leads you, right?
