[ perched on the ledge of one of the great windows in one of the halls of the habitat ring, far from the promenade and away from where those trapped on the station have taken up residence, sits one captain jean-luc picard. there's an alien flute in hand that he's playing, filling the adjoining corridors with a soft, sweet melody. ]

[ recovery was quick for most and for sarek, it was no different. the physical symptoms and those manifestation of them had long since faded into oblivion, but the long since buried issues that had provoked them were now rather solidly reasserting themselves.

it was a relief for sarek when he heard the music, a solemn and sane respite in the insanity that he had been experiencing since arriving to this place. he stood in a silent admiration of the talent being displayed, allowing the individual to finish the piece before he even dared to speak. ]

Beautifully executed.

[ perhaps captain jean-luc picard should have paid closer attention to those who were arriving and now residing on the station that weren't starfleet personnel or people living in his time; pehraps then, he wouldn't have seemed so startled at the sound of such a familiar voice touching his ears. the note he was on ended abruptly and he slid out of the window to stand straight in a way he usually reserved for admirals he knew weren't fans of his ship. but this...this man, no matter what his age, was deserving of far much more. sarek of vulcan had been a great mentor and friend to jean-luc, someone whom the man missed more and more as time went on. being without sarek's wise words to calm his mind after the events that led up to james t. kirk's death had been troubling, but a point jean-luc knew he would have to work past eventually.

even though this sarek seemed to be much younger -- perhaps from the captains kirk timeline? -- he was still sarek and jean-luc was pleased to see him. ]

Ambassador Sarek.

[ logically, being addressed in such a manner by an individual that was a stranger to him was not surprising given their current circumstances. personally, however, it was still puzzling be to known by so many that he, himself, would likely never have been acquainted with. or never would be acquainted with. the way things worked around here, it is difficult to tell whether one should think in future or present tense. ]

Councillor, but that difference is negligible compared to the others. And once again, I find myself at a disadvantage. I am coming to believe that will be a standard of this place.

Your name?

[ of course, he wasn't an ambassador yet. the timeline was here and there and everywhere -- picard couldn't really tell who people were supposed to be anymore. ]

Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise-E.

[ ah. another captain. enterprise-e? apparently he was one that was likely familiar with the older alternative version of himself. and as it was, he could probably tell that he wasn't the man that he knew, at least, in part. ]

Well met, Captain. If you do not mind my asking, what kind of instrument is that exactly?
