Calling the Enterprise Crew! [Seriously, Spock, Kirk, and McCoy READ THIS]

[geekofthegate]

Jim Kirk, Spock, Dr.McCoy? This is Daniel Jackson, please read this and respond. I've got a friend of yours here - Montgomery Scott. He is okay, if a little frazzled, and I will bring him to you as soon as I can

Don't tell me it's another Kirk incident.

[geekofthegate]

[barks a laugh]

No, that time, I threw everything at him at once and he called me crazy. This time, I only explained the crabs and the monsters. (I didn't even mention what the venom does to you!) And he is already calling me crazy. Obviously this is a simple matter of disbelief. (Or maybe I just strike people as being unstable, I don't know.) Which might be rectified if some of these other guys will vouch for me.

(I have my suspicions about how helpful Kirk will be, but we'll see how that goes.)

[jackyourcars]

I'd say just let him get bit and see how he believes you then, but I think that would bite us in the ass in the long run. No pun intended, come to think of it.

You want me to try and talk to him? I mean, if you think Kirk won't help then, like, I could.

[geekofthegate]

Tempting as that may be at times, I would really rather not put people through the accelerated case of bodily aches and coughing up blood and potentially turning into a monster. I mean, talk about adding insult to injury, what with them already being trapped here and confused. Or injury to insult, I suppose.

Well, maybe. If I can't get a hold of them, then sure. I think he'll be much more likely to believe his own captain, though; he might just assume you're insane like me. Fun, isn't it?

[jackyourcars]

I'm just not interested in listening to them complain and, like, turning in a monster with a nasty vengeance.

I love being told I'm insane. Gotta say, it's a pretty nice change from people just assuming I'm a total idiot.

[geekofthegate]

Well, I'm sort of used to it by now. What with all of the new people I somehow run into right as they show up. So I don't mind, so long as I get them straightened out eventually.

You know, the funny irony is, the only ones who are hard to convince are the ones who are from Earth like us. A lot of the people from very different realities take it pretty well.

Oh but trust me. That it another favored assumption, so you probably wouldn't be much better off.

[jackyourcars]

Oh, I meant complain about the crab bites if they really hurt like you said. Helping the new people I'd be totally down for.

Well, yeah, I mean, stuff's pretty normal there. Usually. I'm gonna go ahead and assume my Earth's the weird one and you're, like, safely without battling robots the size of skyscrapers.

...Great. I feel at home already.

[geekofthegate]

Oh, sorry. Well, so long as you get it healed quickly. I've had too many experiences with people who for one reason or another didn't get their bites healed right away

[jackyourcars]

Still, sounds pretty scary to be around.

Well, it's a long story, but basically last year my boyfriend bought, like, an alien robot car and his friend's archnemesis tried to, like, wipe out Earth and Sam (that's my boyfriend) stopped him. Then they came back for more and we left it to the alien robots. Mostly.

Wormholes? That stuff's supposed to only be, like, science fiction movies, isn't it? I mean, I guess if I've bought SPACE TRAVEL and ALIENS it should be easier, but it still sounds so weird. Must be pretty exciting, though, huh?

Yeah, I've got a place between places, really, but I'll settle on one soon, and I'm doing a lot better. Still gotta convince Mac to let me take a look at that car of his.

[geekofthegate]

[soverly] It is. I hope you never have to experience it.

[pause] Wow. Well, you've certainly had it more interesting than most people your age, haven't you? How did the robot disguise itself as a car?

Yeah, I think my entire life would probably fit as a science fiction movie. Ironically, some information leaked about us and some people actually DID make a TV show based off the Stargate program! It's incredibly wrong and they don't even realize it's based off a real thing, but it's fun to watch for a good laugh.

It is pretty exciting. Honestly, being here just feels like another mission sometimes. An especially LONG mission, but...not too much different than things I've dealt with before.

Glad to hear it. [laughs] Oh, I'm sure if you prod him about it, he'll be more than happy to let you have a look! Where did you learn about cars?

[jackyourcars]

It, like, saw one and sorta scanned it? Then just... transformed. We call the robots as a group transformers, but the good guys are autobots and the others are decepticons. They can be, like, anything mechanical, it's really weird. One snuck into my purse disguised as my cell phone.

I should totally check it out when I go home, then, if they've got that TV show on my Earth. That's pretty weird, though, to have a TV show based off of you.

I learned from my dad. He used to fix cars. We just opened a shop together before I wound up here.

[geekofthegate]

Transformers? Sounds like an apt name. Catchy, too. One seriously hid in your purse as your cell phone?

I don't think we have anything quite like that where I come from, although we did have the Replicators. They were tiny machines that would replicate themselves and form all sorts of things, including human-form Replicators that looked prefectly real.

Boy, I hope not. That would mean that the Stargate program exists, and I just totally obliterated my confidentiallity agreement. [chuckles] I doubt they would be in the same place, though. I know for a fact that my Earth has never been threatened by giant transforming robots.

That's really interesting. You should talk to Kaylee Frye; she's really good with cars and mechanics. (That's her up above your comments on this page, if you want an easy link to her journal.) Sounds like you two would get along!

[jackyourcars]

Yeah, it was really weird.

Yeah! That's a lot like them. Sam ran into one that was disguised as a person, I've never seen anything like it. Super creepy.

Lucky you. They're kind of tough to beat. But, sounds like Stargate isn't very easy stuff to begin with, so maybe you'd be, like, totally equipped to handle them.

I'll totally drop her a line next time she posts, then. Thanks! Guess there aren't many people here who drive, though, huh? So, it's kind of a useless talent.

[geekofthegate]

So they can transform into people, as well?

That still doesn't sound quite like the replicators, as they were more prone to attacking in huge waves as these bug-like drones and just taking over everything by force. Thank goodness we were able to keep them off of Earth.

Well, sounds like we all have our own special problems. I don't know how well we would handle giant transforming robots disguised as machines, but we've proven to be pretty good at figuring things out on the fly in the past.

Well, she DID manage to fix up a few motorcycles, which I hear are in high demand. So if you know as much about motorcycles as you know about cars, that could be a handy talent.

[jackyourcars]

I don't think just any of them can. This one was like... built to be like a person. Like, I dunno, have you seen the Terminator movies? Do you have those where you come from? It was like that.

...Ewww, yeah, that sounds like something that would not be good for Earth.

Oh, totally. Motorcycles are, like, cake compared to cars. I mean, Honda puts things in totally weird places sometimes, but they're way more straightforward. I can definitely give her a hand with those.

[geekofthegate]

You mean, like when it had the flesh ripped off and was just a skeleton? Sounds delightful. [obviously using dry humor there] How did you get rid of that one?

Heh, seems like a lot of the things we run into from outer space end up not being good for Earth.

[grinning] You would REALLY get along with Kaylee, I can tell. I'll introduce you when I get the chance. You decided to stay at the Bryant Park Hotel, right?
(I never got into motorcycles, myself. But you ladies would likely make quite a few people very happy if you kept fixing those things up. [chuckles])
