[Video] A New Arrival

[vulcanyounot]

[Another day, another adventure. While Spock isn’t thrilled to find that he’s the target this go around, it’s certainly not surprising; statistically, with how things go on the Enterprise, he was overdue for something akin to this to happen.

He watches the video dutifully and thoroughly reads through all of the provided paper pamphlets (arguably the most alarming thing about this planet), frowning all the while, before he broadcasts a video on the primitive device while he begins to leave the Bay.]

Greetings, I am Commander Spock of the U.S.S. Enterprise. If I have been taken, then I believe that there must be at least one other member of the Enterprise here, a Captain James Kirk [because Kirk’s luck has always been worse that way]. If you have any information on the whereabouts of my captain, please let me know.

I am also interested in learning more about the technology available to us [he hopes it gets better than a god damn smart phone] and what it is that is preventing us from simply contacting our ships and getting transported back. As the Enterprise’s science officer I believe that I may be able to offer some assistance on the matter.

[Ah, Hell. Of course if there was one person on the Enterprise he would end up stuck in this place with...]

Well, Spock, you're right about not being alone here but it looks like that's the only thing. No sign of Jim yet, but one way or another it's probably a matter of time.

[He was still in the bar, was a little more thankful for the familiar face than he'd let on.]

We might have a hard time getting that information. According to the only person I've talked to here so far, the only ones who even acknowledge the issue are the ones who aren't from around here.

[Well that certainly wasn't the crewman he was expecting to be stranded with. Not unwelcome, just not as statistically likely as Kirk who seemed to have a penchant for trouble.]

Yes, there is a high likelihood that the Captain will still show up, unless our captors are only interested in scientists. In which case I have full confidence that our time here will be extremely short-lived.

Am I correct in assuming you have not been here much longer than I have if that is all that you have discovered? [Looks like he made short work of finding a pub, though.] I find it shocking that none of the residents of the planet are alarmed by the supposed influx of people from other worlds.

Re: Video

[dammit_imadoctor]

By 'one way or another', Spock, I meant he'd end up busting into the place if they don't bring him themselves.

[No matter whether that came with an escape plan or not. But that was Jim for you.]

Yeah, that's right. Also found out they don't have any damn medical schools here. [Yeah, he sounds completely disgusted there.] Seems like it might've been happening a while. I mean, they've got a damn welcome holo.

Welcome, Commander Spock. I'm K-2SO.

I haven't heard your Captain's name before but he might still be around. How does he looks like?

As for technology, each of the city has a different one, some more advanced than others. Nova City is where you can finds a large variety of modern tech, while in Fayren you are more likely to encounter that things are powered by magic.

The cause of the blocked transmissions might be the barriers, or more likely, the fact this s a whole different than your own.

[Spock blinks at Kay's appearance. He looks like a robot, but speaks like an organic. Fascinating. Artificial Intelligence, perhaps? He'll have to ask later.]

The captain is a blond human male with blue eyes. I believe that if he were here he would make his presence known, though whether intentionally or not I cannot say.

I do not understand your meaning of magic, or that we're in an entirely different system from our own. That kind of travel is physically impossible. We are more likely on a planet the Federation has just yet to establish contact with, as I've never heard of Genessia before.

[Unless they somehow got involved with another alternate universe. Wouldn't that just be typical.]

[Video]

[k2so]

[He's used to receiving looks of confusion, surprise of disgust, so Kay only waits until it's over.]

I know at least two males that fit the description but one is a young kid and the other has a different name. If you want to know if he's here, maybe visiting the Employment Building might help you. Everyone here needs a job and they handle the listings, if you friend is here he might have gone to the building. It's in Genessia city, located at Thistle Avenue and 22nd Street.

Impossible is a word that has often been proven to be very limited, everything is impossible until you have the means to accomplish it. 'An atom is indivisible. It's impossible to finds anythign smaller.'...oh wait, we just broke it in half and found all those little things inside called protons and neutrons.

To fishes, flying is impossible. To birds, it's a natural occurrence. What is strange to us it's no unusual here, this world has its own set of rules are all gambling.

What's the Federation like? I never heard of it before.

[acrostic]

The lack of contact is likely due to this being an intentional dead-zone. Since everyone arrives through the same location, unconscious at first, it goes without saying that any technology allowed to be brought in has likely been catalogued and accounted for by the controlling forces here, which may be an artificial intelligence.

Re: video;

[vulcanyounot]

That would certainly explain why my commlink does not work, but it does not explain why I have not yet been transported back to my ship, which leads me to believe that there is something blocking my signature here.

What makes you think that there is an artificial intelligence here and not just a mentally unstable individual in command?

video;

[acrostic]

You would not be wrong in that assumption. There are force-field like barriers around the cities that seem to draw energy off of everyone here that have been increasing in power lately in certain spots. They likely can't get through if they managed to locate you, which may be an issue in itself. Everyone capable of space-travel here has been incapable of pinpointing our location.

[ He frowns slightly. ] There is a pattern of odd events that act like experiments that always end after a short period of time. It seems unlikely a single person would manage to keep everything here functioning for this long without making an error that would reveal their identity.

If you'd like to stop by the Genessia Scientific Research Foundation I can run you through what we already know since you sound like a data kind of guy, or I can summarize it for you.

Re: video;

[vulcanyounot]

I would prefer to look over the data myself if that is agreeable to you. Where is the Genessia Scientific Research Foundation located?

[livable]

Agreeable is my middle name. Nettle and 27th. If you want to stay put I can come pick you up. I'm on my way there from the hospital now.

[aurabble]

Uhm... I've got a science suggestion. You should build a ship.

[Video]

[vulcanyounot]

My area of expertise is not mechanical engineering, though given some time to study [ a helluva lot of time to study ] I could likely design an adequate vessel, though how far it would take us I cannot say. Though I believe someone mentioned a barrier which would prevent the ship from breaking out of the atmosphere, rendering it useless.

[Video]

[aurabble]

But you're probably the most qualified person here right now. I know it probably won't work, but imagine how cool it would be? Except you don't have to imagine it.

[ Have someone else with pointy ears, though clearly no relation. There's way too much amusement on his face, currently in the form of a slow and lazy smile. ]

There's an entire city full of technology better than what you've woken up to, if that's your meaning. Go straight north from where you woke up until you see a big gate, go through it, and viola--! Flying cars.

No ships, though. Seems we're fresh out.

Re: [Video]

[vulcanyounot]

[ If Spock's memory serves, the city to the north was Nova City. He makes a mental note to check it out. ]

I find it curious that there are flying cars but not ships. The progression of technology usually points to the opposite, with the technology first being produced for scientific and militaristic personnel.

Is Nova City the only location with more advanced technology?

[black_black_heart]

Well, the big... dome kinda thing over all the cities makes anything that goes too high up a bit of a moot point, I think. So there's no... docks for any of it, or anything. I dunno, I'm not an expert on the topic.

It's not the only place, no. Genessia City's kind of a melting-pot of all the other cities, from what I can tell.

[ It's why he set up shop here and not in, say, Everglade. Though now he's super glad for that for other reasons. ]

But if you want a high concentration of the stuff, that's where I'd go.

[ACTION HIJACK]

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi loved meeting new people. And it was rare that she sensed an arrival's mind that was so... calm. And not panicking. This demanded investigation!

Drifting over to Spock she tipped her hat up with a thumb, floating just out of arm's reach before slowly... slowly... drifting forward and poking him on the shoulder. Repeatedly.

"Hey! Hey mister! Can you see me? Can you hear me? Heeeey!" It would probably take awhile for Spock to overcome her perception field due to how analytical his mind was. Hopefully his good observational skills would speed things along!

Re: [ACTION HIJACK]

[vulcanyounot]

Spock is dutifully researching his current predicament as best as he can with the information provided at the bay when the poking begins. As a touch telepath, he is instantly aware that there is someone or something there, but when he whirls around, there's no one; his logical mind can't see Koishi just yet.

He pulls out his blaster (set to stun) and keeps it low as he takes a few careful steps backwards, eyes sweeping the area.

"I demand that you show yourself." For a demand, it's not very forceful sounding. In fact, it sounds like casual conversation to anyone that doesn't know him.

[koishi_komeiji]

The telepathy probably made it even more awkward considering Koishi was a youkai-shaped psychic hole. Either way the poking would continue.

"Heeey!" Oh god she was right there. "Oh good! You can see me!" A pause. "I think. You're looking at me. That's the first step to seeing me!" Her green eyes glowed rather brightly with their own light and she had a strange fleshy cord looping and floating around her body attaching at her ankles and on either side of a deep blue sphere.

Also, she was floating.

And then she would go right for the hand not holding the blaster, intending to give it a warm and welcoming shake. "Hello there! I'm Koishi Komeiji! I'm a satori youkai. But don't worry. I can't read minds anymore." She brightened even more. "You're new, right? I love new people!"

"Welcome, Spock! I'm Ted. Others will be better suited to seeing to your informational and relational concerns, but should you need something more hospitable, don't hesitate to make use of me. If I might make use of you, would you tell me the meaning of your name? I've never heard that one before."

Video

[vulcanyounot]

A slight frown crosses Spock's face. "I am afraid I cannot be of assistance. The name 'Spock' has no meaning other than the fact that it is my own. Unlike most species, vulcans do not partake in onomastics as the practice of attaching sentiment to one's name is most illogical. "

[moviemagic]

If you mean anything fancier than what you are seeing, best go to Nova City. The stuff there is the bomb... Figuratively not literally.

Re: video;

[vulcanyounot]

I am glad to hear that the city does not house bombs, but I am unfamiliar with your meaning. Am I to assume that there are many bomb-shaped items there?
