[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.]

[ you know, he's not stupid. she's not the only person who's been staring at him like they've seen a ghost or something.

but he's cool so he shrugs it off. ]

Wouldn't be the first time.

[ hmm, that might sound like he's bragging or something, but whatever. ]

Talked to people they knew beforehand. I don't think there's much you can do about lost memories other than have others recount them all for you.

I'm sorry. It's just that you look like someone I know.

[Might as well admit it. The guy probably knows already.]

Which carries the risk of unreliable narration. But there's not else you can do about it.

The doctor.

[ she's in jim's crew, then. ]

Some people just take comfort in knowing at least something. [ and in others, nothing. it's wasn't their life anymore. ]

Oh, you know him?

[Of course he does. Jim yammers.]

You find comfort where you can. Some memories are better than none at all.

Jim Kirk mistook me for him. [ and then, dryly: ] Haven't met him yet, but I think I know what he looks like.

[ a beat. ]

That would depend on the memories.

You look a little younger, though. And he's a nice guy. [To her, at least. God forbid if your name is Spock.]

True, but even if they were awful, wouldn't you want to know? In case it involves someone else?

[olduvai]

So I've heard.

[ jim kirk yammering and everything. ]

I have enough of those to last me a lifetime. [ so morbid, john. the similarities extend to more than just their faces. john's got some of his own demons he dislikes remembering - even if his version is more literal than bones'. ] Someone's told you about those memories, then?

[Wow, Reaper. You are Bones from another timeline.]

Not in full detail, no. Some of them have just been implied.

[A bar fight with no details of why she was involved in it.]

[ karl urban's characters' lives are suffering no matter what movie. ]

Unreliable narration. [ a crooked smile. ]

Exactly my point.

[She grins back.]

One person says there was a fight, another says it never escalated to one.

[olduvai]

Hard to tell when you can't remember. Do you trust either of them, or are they both strangers?

[Neil, she doesn't know, but Chekov...]

One I trust with my life.

[That's how Starfleet rolls, yo.]

[olduvai]

Then you have your answer.

[ although the people you trust with your life also have the tendency to hide things from you, for your own safety. but john doesn't know chekov, or uhura for that matter, so he can't really say that for sure. ]
