Leonard H. McCoy had very specific reason to loathe transporters. One wrong misplaced circuit or trigger-happy technician could have devastating consequences on the person being beamed down to wherever the hell Starfleet had ordered them to go. He really did not approve of atoms being forcibly ripped apart before being intertwined together again ( Read more... )

"Loud and clear, actually."

Sheppard leaned back in the chair that was at the helm of the Enterprise. His feet propped up, crossed at the ankles. His hands were folded in his lap an he grinned. Another person for Kirk, it seemed. Did they just come out of the wood work or something? Ah well. The man certainly looked to be part of Kirk's crew. Same shirt, different color. Older too... probably closer to him or Sylar. Good to know that Kirk apparently had someone older than him.

"Anything I might interest you in today? We have a great offer on some really fine turkey sandwiches."

McCoy fell silent and ceased his attempts at hailing the Enterprise at the sound of a male voice that certainly did not come from his communicator clenched in his hand. He lowered it suspiciously before he finally noticed the pedestal to the side and the source of the smart-alecky voice emitting from something on top of it.

McCoy moved across the room and picked it up and noticed the image it was projecting. A man... looked to be in his thirties, but nothing to attach him to Starfleet or the Federation. He raised an eyebrow, before he noticed something in the background that caused any questions to die before they had the chance to part from his lips.

He was sitting on the bridge of the Enterprise; he would recognize it anywhere after everything they went through. And he had his Goddamn feet propped up like some arrogant kid. It frustrated McCoy, and he pretty much growled at the man:

"Who the hell are you?"

He eased back farther into the seat, draping one arm behind the back of the chair. Sheppard looked over the controls. If this was attached to the ship, he could probably fly it. Puddlejumpers were the most unique thing he'd ever flown. And there were a lot of things he could fly. No one would ever guess that he was a pilot though.

His attention turned back to the tablet. Oh, so the officer had found it. There was a lopsided easy-going grin. And a glance sent over to the ready room that Kirk usually holed himself up into. Though he shifted again in order to show the sleeve of his uniform. Proudly showing the Altantis Expedition emblem.

"Lt. Colonel John Sheppard. Currently serving in Atlantis, the Pegasus Galaxy. Or at least I was before I was ditched here."

The Altantis Expedition emblem Sheppard flaunted at him through the visual feed meant nothing to the disgruntled doctor and he resisted the urge to shake the device in response to the lopsided grin the man had flashed him. Was it a hostile takeover? No, there would have to be more of them if it was such a thing. And that man was anything but hostile... no, he seemed lazy in comparison the way he was holding himself.

"All right then, Lt. Colonel John Sheppard." McCoy replied evenly, "What do you mean ditched here? What are you doing on the Goddamn bridge?"

[As a general rule, Dean doesn't start up visuals with newcomers because of trust issues. Since he doesn't know this guy, he's going to answer with the voice function, and only because he's curious. Enterprise, huh? More of Kirk's minions.]

So I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say you're not a fan of flying.

[Judging by what Dean know about shuttle crafts, of course.]

[voice] notsawbones August 22 2009, 20:22:45 UTC

[McCoy grumbled as another new voice sprung up from the tablet he just discovered. Just how many people had been brought in the same way, he wondered? He replied to the faceless voice speaking to him, his tone curt and clipped with aggravation.]

Damn right, I suffer from aviophobia and for good reason too. It just takes just one crack in the hull of a shuttlecraft and that's it, you're worse than dead. Your blood might start boiling as the damn solar flares begin to cook you in your seat and if, you're damn lucky, your eardrums might become perforated if they aren’t spouting blood by the time you reach orbit.

fudgingkillyou August 23 2009, 05:22:08 UTC

[Well, if Dean didn't want to fly before...]

You're just one big ball of sunshine, aren't you?

notsawbones August 23 2009, 05:31:13 UTC

I don't like flying.

Sup, Bones. Have a Simon in Serenity's medbay, answering somewhat distractedly as he flips through River's file yet again. (It's not being obsessive, it's being thorough. Shut up.)

"You're in Taxon, Mr. McCoy. As for the Enterprise, I can't help you there."

...Helpful. Really.

[visual] notsawbones August 23 2009, 11:15:58 UTC

McCoy notices he seems more interested in the file than helping a newcomer and rolls his eyes, "Taxon? This is the name of this Goddamn place?"

[ voice ] notanemptymotto August 23 2009, 11:12:05 UTC

I'm afraid that you have found yourself where you are not supposed to be. My apologies for the bad news.

[ And the sound of moving things can be heard over the tablet as well. ]

[ voice ] notsawbones August 23 2009, 11:14:34 UTC

Are you the one responsible for this? If not, I don't need your apology.

[ voice ] notanemptymotto August 23 2009, 11:16:43 UTC

Needing and deserving are completely different, sir. And I am hardly the one responsible for this. Another victim much as you find yourself. However since I received such a warm welcoming, I'll extend the same to you.

This is the City of Taxon. It is divided into four sections with the center of the city having what is known as the Sanctuary. This is where you are now. Once you walk outside you are free to go wherever of your pleasing, it seems.

[ Clang, clang. ]

[ voice ] notsawbones August 23 2009, 11:25:13 UTC

Someone has a wry sense of humour calling this damn room a Sanctuary if you ask me. It is anything but pacifying about appearing in this room when you're meant to be on an Away mission on some...

[Okay, he notices that sound. His eyebrows furrow in confusion.]

What are you doing- ... ma'am?

[location: outside the sanctuary] sirachi August 23 2009, 11:25:47 UTC

The distress, the fear, the discomfort...it called out to Siri and she was too close to the Sanctuary to ignore it, to find a good enough reason to keep on her way as she moved aimlessly about the city as she silently observed the goings on. She spoke to few and interacted with less. Something her master would surely be telling her she needed to change. So, it was with a stubborn sort of resolve that Siri stood outside the Sanctuary, clad in a maroon, full body uniform that she opted to wear in place of the robes most Jedi donned, the pummel of her lightsaber hanging off her belt.

"You're not trapped inside," she said to the doors, hoping the being inside could hear her, the Coruscanti accent think on her voice. "You can come out at any time."

[location: outside the sanctuary] notsawbones August 23 2009, 11:30:53 UTC

McCoy could hear the voice with the foreign accent loft through the doors and reach him within the Sanctuary. He looked at the doors in question that he had not yet wandered near and debated with himself whether to answer the person outside or not... but he soon sighed and snatched up the tablet from the pedestal and stormed over to the exit whilst muttering under his breath: "Damn it."

[location: outside the sanctuary] sirachi August 23 2009, 11:48:26 UTC

"Damn it," Siri echoed with curiosity, raising a hand and gesturing to open the doors telekinetically with the Force for the man. The people here used such strange colorful expressions.

She moved to stand right before the doors, to be right in his line of sight, and offered, "Welcome to Taxon."

[location: outside the sanctuary] notsawbones August 23 2009, 12:06:12 UTC

McCoy was unaware of anything supernatural and just assumed the doors opened by themselves (after all, such a thing was not uncommon where he was from) as he stepped out the sanctuary and noticed the petite blonde in the unfamiliar uniform awaiting him with one hand raised oddly.

At the salutation from the woman, he grumbles in reply: "Thanks for the welcome."
