video; open to action

[Chekov knows that he shouldn't be surprised when his failed attempts to contact Captain Kirk lead him to the Hall of the Missing and, ultimately, the realization that the majority of the remaining crew of the Enterprise is no longer in the City. Disappearances frequently happen in groups. Spock, Kirk, McCoy, Uhura... most of them had come and gone before this, too. Chekov really should know better than to be surprised. Kirk might be able to bend the rules at home, but it was foolish to hope, even for a moment, that he would be capable of doing the same in the City.

It's tempting to stay off of the network and immerse himself in a project, but his crewmates were well-liked and it's only right to keep the friends they have made informed.]

Captain Kirk, Doctor McCoy, and Lieutenant Uhura are no longer in the City.

[Brief, formal, to-the-point. Unfortunately, one other party needs to be contacted.]


[Starfleet Comm Frequency // Unhackable]

Lieutenant Sulu and I are now the only officers of the Enterprise in the City.

[In other words: your orders, Captain Janeway?]


[ooc: The great Trexodus is upon us. Open to action in any of the places Chekov might usually be found--the cottage, the laboratories, you name it.]

With those weekends, I find it easiest to assume that everyone will leave. I have been right, so far as my own friends go, but if I was wrong, it would be a good surprise.

Of course that's the assumption, but it doesn't stop there being some... discomfort in seeing them and then having them taken away again.

It is challenging. We are often challenged in the City, however.

Re: Video

You're right about that, of course. In any case, I know I've diverged a little from my original intentions, which I'll reiterate -- I'm sorry about your friends being gone, and I'm impressed by the way you're handling it.

[His posture improves ever-so-slightly with the compliment. Near-compliment. Whatever. He's pleased.]

Thank you for your condolences.

I'm sure you'd offer them to me, in a similar situation.

[You know, if he had any friends to disappear. Oops.]

Take care of yourself.

Aye, sir. I hope that you will do the same.
