Uhura to Enterprise. Uhura to Enterprise. Come in, Enterprise.

[There's no response. Yet again. She mutters a soft "damnit" under her breath.]

Enterprise, are you reading me? [This last bit is followed by the sounds of equipment being adjusted as she tries to boost the signal.]

You okay, sweetie?

Like, have you banged your head or something? Because you know where you are.

nyota_uhura24 June 27 2011, 20:26:19 UTC

Sweetie?! Gaila, is that you?

[The other woman's tone is almost as confusing as her words.] I was supposedly beamed down near the settlement, but this looks nothing like our topographical scans of the area. Are you on the Enterprise?

[Switch from voice to video] imhere4theplot June 27 2011, 20:29:57 UTC

Yes. Definitely Gaila. I don't think anybody else looks this good.

Uh, nope. I was dead because I was on the Farragut but now I'm not and stuff. And we're in Bete Noire, you know this.

[still voice] nyota_uhura24 June 27 2011, 20:37:04 UTC

[She's inclined to agree with the other woman on that count, but that's beside the point.]

Farragut? What are you talking about? [Gaila's always been assigned to the Enterprise.] And what the hell is Bete Noire? [She's beginning to suspect some sort of trickery.]

[....don't panic. Don't panic just yet. Just because there's already one Uhura in the city doesn't necessarily mean this Uhura is from the Empire.]

The ship won't answer.

[voice] nyota_uhura24 June 27 2011, 20:28:27 UTC

[He can't see it, but her brow is furrowed in confusion. Scott's supposed to be on the ship, so what the hell is he talking about?]

Why not?

[voice] lt_cmmdr_scott June 27 2011, 20:34:41 UTC

The ship's out o' range. You've landed in a pocket dimension that exists outside your own reality.

[A pause, then.]

ISS or USS?

[voice] nyota_uhura24 June 27 2011, 20:39:48 UTC

Lovely. [Sarcastic? Uhura? Never.]

ISS.

What is USS and how do I get back to my reality?

Uhura? [Confusion. There's already an Uhura here...]

Uhura, It's Kirk. Are you alright?

[voice] nyota_uhura24 June 27 2011, 21:39:44 UTC

[If Scotty was telling the truth, this isn't her Captain, but the sound of his voice still makes her instantly wary. Kirk's a dangerous man... Though asking if she's all right is definitely out of character for the Kirk she knows.]

I'm... not sure. I'm pretty disoriented.

[voice] chairismine June 27 2011, 21:46:07 UTC

You've just arrived in a different universe, disorientation's a pretty normal reaction.

[voice] nyota_uhura24 June 27 2011, 21:52:18 UTC

Apparently so. [If he knows she's just arrived here, then she can't pretend to be the other Uhura, though that's not necessarily a bad thing.]

How long have you been here, sir?

[T'Pol definitely spied on Scott's conversation, so she's insta-wary.]

As Scott said, you'll find leaving a good deal more difficult than arriving.

[voice] nyota_uhura24 June 27 2011, 21:48:37 UTC

[This voice she doesn't recognize. She keeps her voice carefully neutral as she tries to get a read on the woman.]

Thanks for the advice. Who are you?

[voice] with_discipline June 27 2011, 22:04:01 UTC

[She's considering lying, like she always considers, but given the way the city's been fucking with her lately, she miiight be giving into a hint of pride. Not that she'll tell anyone.]

Commander T'Pol, of the ISS Enterprise NX-01.

[voice] nyota_uhura24 June 27 2011, 23:13:16 UTC

[Finally she's found someone from her own universe. Servants of the Empire are not to be trusted, and Vulcans doubly so, but at least she knows the rules of the game. And she's heard of T'Pol's Enterprise.]

Lieutenant Uhura of the ISS Enterprise NCC-1701, a later version of your own ship.

Uhura?

[ voice ] nyota_uhura24 June 27 2011, 22:02:36 UTC

Who is this?

[ voice ] myheartglows June 27 2011, 22:07:47 UTC

[A pause, where he's looking at the far side of the room where Uhura--his Uhura--sits. He speaks in a calm, pleasant, and airy tone, with inflection in the wrong places. A child with a man's voice.]

I'm Tony.

Did you forget me?

[voice] nyota_uhura24 June 27 2011, 23:20:49 UTC

[He can't see it, but her brow furrows as she picks up on the oddities in his inflection.]

I'm afraid. I'm sorry [she says, pretending to mean it. There's no way for her to pretend when she has absolutely no idea who he is. Besides, he certainly doesn't sound like a thread.]
