Season 1

[harry_s_l_kim]

[Lying on a couch trying to relax]   Tom, I don't know what you expect this to achieve. I'm not going to 'open up' to you. Tom?

Tom?

[Opens eyes and doesn't see him] Typical. Just........ typical

[sevenofnine]

[Hello, Harry. Have an intimidating woman who obviously knows who you are. Her tone is mechanistic and borderline monotonous throughout.]

Ensign Kim, welcome to Starbase Infinity. What was Tom Paris attempting to accomplish?

[harry_s_l_kim]

*wide eyes, look of Utter fear* ........ Do.... Do I..... Do I Know you....Ma'am?

[sevenofnine]

Evidently not.

[Her tone suggests that isn't normal, but she can deal with it. She remembers his utter fear look. It's been a while.]

This is a temporal anomaly, a nexus -- acting as a convergent point for various timelines and realities. It has been attracting predominantly Starfleet personnel.

[harry_s_l_kim]

.........*big wide eyed slightly horny bunny look. After all she really is beautiful in a scary dominatrix kind of way*

Oh. I see...... and you are....a.....Gatekeeper?

[sevenofnine]

[She remembers that look too. Typical. Fortunately, she also remembers his sincere attempts to help her adapt to life on Voyager. If she can, she'd like to do the same for him here.]

No. I was brought here several weeks ago, in much the same way you just were. I am simply providing you with the information I have acquired in the intervening time.

You may encounter alternate versions of yourself, or others you know, while you are here. I saw B'Elanna Torres not long ago.

[harry_s_l_kim]

B'Elanna Torres?

Oh this isn't good. I need to get home. It's my first day on the ship I can't just...... Disappear!

[sevenofnine]

"First day"? [Seven looks faintly surprised. There was a wide window of opportunity for Harry not to know her: she wasn't expecting him to be this 'new', relatively speaking.]

I would theorize that the passage of time here is not equal to the passage of time there. I doubt your absence will be noted.

[She isn't great with reassurance.] In any case, it has not been possible for anyone to leave.

[harry_s_l_kim]

First day. Tom, he's a great guy, Swear he'd got me in trouble twice already. He said if I 'open up' to him we'll be better friends.

Oh well thats good. I'd hate to get in trouble- wait I can't get back? Oh dear oh dear.

[sevenofnine]

I assume that you will take his advice? In my timeline, you have been consistently open and considerate towards me. It has facilitated our friendship.

Remain calm, Ensign. [It's an order, in an imperious tone.]

[harry_s_l_kim]

We're.......close? *eyes wide* Really? Honest?

* Saluts* Yes Ma'am! I.... oh dear.

[sevenofnine]

Yes. We work together effectively. You are also Tom's best friend. He would not intentionally give you bad advice. [Considering pause.] Unless he thought it would be humorous.

The salute is unnecessary; I do not hold formal rank.

[harry_s_l_kim]

Which what I know about him already is likely..........wow. This is...... weird.

Oh? I'm sorry. I.. *offers hand* Harry Kim. But you knew that......

[sevenofnine]

Indeed.

[She gives his hand a considering look, but deems the gesture pointless. Instead she inclines her head in acknowledgment.]

Seven of Nine. You may call me Seven.

[harry_s_l_kim]

*retracts his hand embarrassed*

Nice to meet you Seven.

[sevenofnine]

[She moves swiftly onwards, ignoring the embarrassment.]

Would you like to be directed to the mess hall? The replicators are functional. The only amenity we have not been provided with is an exit: the transporters are inaccessible.

There is also a bar... [She's a little skeptical of that place, seeing as it materialized around the same time as the Kirks.]

[harry_s_l_kim]

Mess hall would be good.
