[The video opens to--well, not much of anything. It's night; the stars are visible, and Chekov's face is lit by the dim glow of his network device. He's remarkably subdued, but he typically does only pause to make network posts when he's in a low or contemplative mood.]

For anyone who has not heard already and knew them, Lena and Asami are no longer in the City. I did not know Asami as well as I wish I might have, but Lena was a good friend. At least she will be happy to be home... she did not like being in the City.

[And changing topics. No one wants to dwell on the negative.]

I have two questions. First, does anyone know how the ship on the side of the mountain came to be where it is? I went inside of it, but there was nothing informative there and most of it was, I think, inaccessible. It looks to me like a spacecraft. I have heard stories in the City of aliens and creatures coming from beyond the barriers, but nothing related to a ship like this.

My second question is this: is it common to experience memory loss in the City? If not, should I be concerned? My medical knowledge is very limited, but if there is something wrong with my brain, I would like to know. It is, after all, the most important thing that I have.

[He ends the feed with a forced smile.]

[And follow her he does.]

I was trying to be modest. [as they approach the elevator] Does a kiss count as a PDA if it is done in a public place that is currently unoccupied?

[mightbeconcussed]

That is something you never have to be around me. The whole modest thing. [She pushes the button and looks up to him, a grin slowly spreading across her face.] Sort of half way. There's potential for occupation, but it's still mostly private.

[candothat]

I will try to remember that. [He only has to think for a moment before deciding that mostly private is private enough for a quick kiss.]

[mightbeconcussed]

[Excellent decision, Chekov, but she isn't going to let him get away with a quick kiss.]

[candothat]

[Oh--well, he's not going to say no to that. Experimentally, Chekov rests a hand on Lucy's cheek.

And he pays no attention to the elevator door when it slides open.]

[mightbeconcussed]

[Excellent start to the whole PDA thing he's got going there. Lucy tends to get rather involved in her kissing, sort of sinking into it and letting everything else slip away so she doesn't notice that the elevator door slides open either.

Darn.

They'll just have to ride down and back up again.]
