[If Scotty was telling the truth, this isn't her Captain, but the sound of his voice still makes her instantly wary. Kirk's a dangerous man... Though asking if she's all right is definitely out of character for the Kirk she knows.]
Just over a month. Some of the others have been here over a year.
What was happening just before you arrived? This place isn't limited by either space or time when it brings people here. [also, you know, Jim's trying to figure out which Uhura you are.]
[Uhura's still very wary, but he certainly doesn't sound like the ISS Captain Kirk. He's far too solicitous for that; her own Captain would probably be berating her for getting lost. But even if he's not her Kirk, she still has no reason to trust him.]
I was beaming from the Enterprise to a settlement on Arleos IV, but I ended up here instead.

That's me. [A brief pause.]
If you're anything like the Uhura I know, then you'll be pretty smart. So I'll tell you just this once, before things go any further. If you try anything against my crew, you will regret it. Are we clear? [His tone is light, but Jim's dead serious about this. He doesn't know enough about the ISS yet to know whether they'd try something.]

[Her voice is carefully modulated to sound innocent as she replies] I'll take that as a compliment, but I don't recall making any threats against your crew. What exactly are you worried I'll do to them? [She's intentionally not responding to his question; he's not her Captain, and as far as she's concerned there's no reason she should have to answer to him.]
Uhura, It's Kirk. Are you alright?

I'm... not sure. I'm pretty disoriented.

From the ISS Enterprise, of course.

That's right. I assume I'm addressing the Captain of the USS Enterprise? [If the Federation is a hoax, it's a damn convincing one.]
