Arrival [ota]
The shakedown cruise for the Enterprise-E had started well, Geordi thought to himself, as he sat overseeing things in Engineering. Good, good. It would soon be ready for more extensive testing.
"Bridge to La Forge." The communication came as something of a shock, given how focused Geordi was.
"La Forge here."
"Sub space communication coming in for you, sir. It's Dr Crusher." Geordi smiled to himself. Beverly was working on new implants for his eyes, he'd expected this call for a few days now.
"I'll take it in my quarters," He stood up and headed to the turbo lift. "Keep working on those calculations," he said, pointing at one of the engineers. "We should be able to improve efficiency a lot more."
The turbolift doors closed, and Geordi ran over the latest results in his mind. Yes, definitely room for improvement. The doors opened, and Geordi stepped out automatically - into somewhere that definitely wasn't the Enterprise. It looked like a quaint old village.
Suddenly, something like an electric shock ran through Geordi's VISOR. He cried out in pain at it, bending over, taking a few moment to pull himself back together. He carefully looked around. Great. It was barely functioning, just enough to let him see where he was going, make out the shapes of people, but any of the other functions he relied on? Nothing. He swallowed, stood upright, pressing his comm badge. "La Forge to Enterprise." He waited a moment, but nothing. "Commander La Forge to Enterprise, come in." Where the hell was he?
