001 ¤ [HOLO; curse missed opportunities! am I a part of the cure or am I part of the disease?]

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?"

"Everyone here was pulled from their points of origins and dropped here. That sort of classifies, to me, as being ditched." He reached forward and grabbed the tablet. "And I'm on the bridge because someone has to keep Kirk from going crazy.. Sorry. I probably should of said Captain Kirk."

He rotated his wrist so that the tablet showed the doors to the ready room. Which were still firmly shut in place. Either Kirk was really out or he was planning on getting a one night girlfriend. Which, Sheppard had his doubts on that. Kirk seemed more married to his ship.

"Who is, in there. And has been in there."

McCoy listened to the Lieutenant Colonel as he explained the situation somewhat jadedly, he noticed before the doctor replied the only way he knew how.

"Oh, wonderful!" he exclaimed with an air of disbelief behind his words and took another breath to share his thoughts on the subject matter when something glinting on his wrist caught his eye. He fell silent and inspected his wrist where he finally noticed the silver band. Everyone was pulled from their point and origins and dropped here, he had said... or in shorter terms like he said, ditched.

Heaving a sigh, he turned his attention back to the visual media. "I suppose everyone else has these da- wait, did you say Jim was here?" he glanced at the ready room the other man had adjusted.

The tablet tilted slightly so that Sheppard's head poked from the corner of the screen. His eyebrows popped up at the question. He wasn't sure how he'd be able to get access to the bridge if the captain wasn't there. But, he didn't bother to ask that. New arrivals were always edgy.

"Yeah. He's been here for a while now, few weeks before I showed up. Over three months."

[ visual ] notsawbones August 22 2009, 20:29:54 UTC

McCoy raised an eyebrow in response to his as his shoulders sagged at the estimated time that Kirk and Sheppard had been here, "Over three months?" It did not add up to the uneasy doctor. Unless he had been suspended in the transporter buffer by one of those damn technicians.

"Sorry to say it. Haven't found a way out yet." Sheppard shrugged.

[ visual ] notsawbones August 22 2009, 20:33:48 UTC

His reply aggravated McCoy and he crossed his arms over his chest unhappily, "Goddamn it."

"That's pretty much the general consensus."

"Yeah. Someone named McCoy... was looking for the Enterprise. You know him?"

Stupid question but, never heart to ask. He took his feet off the console as instructed.

"Jim!"

McCoy had taken time to look around at the cylinder room he had appeared in during the exchange between the Lieutenant Colonel and his Captain. Over three months... his short reverie on the subject was shattered after a loud thump somewhere and a familiar cry from his best friend.

"Hey--!"

Sheppard hit the ground on his rear as Kirk shoved him out of the seat. He sat there for a moment, staring up at the young captain. Why did he hang out here again? Sure, Sylar was a little odd, but at least he didn't throw him out of chairs and steal his tablet. He forced himself up, poking his head up behind Kirk's shoulder. He glanced at the tablet, the captain, the tablet, the captain.

Clearly this conversation wasn't going to include him.

"Okie-dokie. I'm gonna go make me a sandwich."
