[ Idly flicking through his journal -- hey, staying inside can be boring, okay -- it doesn't take McCoy long to stumble onto this particular transmission. But it does take him a moment to let this sink in and reply to the engineer. ]

Mr. Scott. [ . . . ] Uh.. you should get down from there.

......Doctor McCoy?

[Realizations happen. Then:]

So this was KIRK'S idea of fun, was it? "Oh let's beam Scotty to a Class Nothing world without even his underclothing!" We're not at the Academy anymore, Doctor. I won't stand for this type of prank.

[What a hypocrite.]

It’s.. uh, not a prank. Jim isn’t even here... and I think those type of things are out of his repertoire, anyway.

[ God, he hopes so. It would be a dismal five years if Kirk beamed him everywhere for giggles. ]

Luceti: primitive Class M planet in the middle of who-the-hell-knows where.

Sounds absolutely dreadful. And freezing to boot.

Get off the roof and I'll tell you more about it.

Easier said than done, doc. You have access to a console where you are?

... Primitive planet, Scotty.

Even on bloody Delta Vega there were the basics.

Right.

A ladder, then? And why do you sound like your communicator is submerged in chocolate trifle?

... It's uh.. a long story.

Right. Well, I'd say I'm too high up to jump, actually. Not willing to risk it. There's some type of drainage conduit just here though...

[ Suddenly very stricken by that comment and raising his voice despite the scot amending himself: ] Don't jump, damn it!

I'm not going to jump, doctor! I didn't make it through four Delta Vegan winters to throw away a bit of freedom because I've been stranded on a building.

The problem of no undergarments is suddenly becoming a more onerous one. Sliding down a cold metal pipe in the altogether is not an attractive option.

Okay, say no more.

[ Please say no more. ] Hold on, I'll grab my coat and come get you.

beaglenapper November 18 2010, 16:56:50 UTC
You certain about that? You don't sound right to me, doctor. Like Keenser after he'd gotten into the dried potato rations.
