[ Hey Ataraxion, have one obviously annoyed, slightly frustrated, small brunette currently looking into what she assumes is the camera of the device in front of her. She’s only been here for a couple of hours, and already she thinks this is some convoluted dream – she just hasn’t figured out whose yet.

Brow furrowed, she lets out a long sigh, rubbing at the back of her neck before finally speaking to the screen. ]  So it seems I'm not alone here. [ Which is a good thing, right? (or so she hopes) ] Yet none of you seem to have any real answers.

[ It’s not annoyance in her voice then, more sympathetic perhaps. (She feels your frustrations, okay?)  A small smile ghosts across her face, taking on an almost hopeful expression. ]

Is there a way we could all work together - start ruling out some possibilities maybe?

At least maybe get an idea as to why we were the ones taken. [Quickly adding: ] Is there something significant about you others would find beneficial – anything that may be important?

[ She pauses, attention turning away from the device, and the faint sound of metal hitting the table can be heard. (She tests her totem yet again, still unsatisfied with the results.) Her attention drifts back to the screen, as she clearly is fighting back the panic and uncertainty before she mumbles. ]

Dreams feel real when you're in them...

[ Not that the rest of the people here would understand that. But she needs to keep reminding herself this fact. ]

NASA is no where near all of this.. [ a pause.] at least not in my twenty-first century. The shuttles are only capable of maybe orbiting a handful of things. And even the shuttles are only capable of carrying maybe a few trained astronauts.

Where are you even from? [ because seriously, starships, what the hell? ]

Earth.

[sorry, he's a smartass. and after a beat, he adds.]

Stardate 2258.91.

[constructum]

[ oh a smartass - funny. :| ]

It's 2010. So I'm not sure how your Stardate is even possible. [ so she might be a tad stubborn here. sorry. she still needs to work past the dream possibility. ]

It's 2010 where you're from.

This ship has the tech to alter physical form, I don't think it's a stretch that it can pull people from different times in space.

voice;

[constructum]

So you're saying, you're from some future Earth. Where apparently all of this is normal?

[ a slight mumble: ] I've been in a few strange dreams, but this one might just beat them all.

[in-three.livejournal.com]

You aren't dreaming.

voice;

[constructum]

And you know this to be fact, how exactly?

[...and because jim can't take anything seriously:]

Because if this were a dream there would be far more half naked Orions around.

voice;

[constructum]

[ oh you're a funny one, captain kirk. not impressed. ]

Glad you can find humor in this. I can only guess what an Orion is.

If you..[ a pause, quickly changing her next words. she isn't about to just up and say; I’ve been in dreams, it's possible. ] I take it you're just going to accept this all, and not try to find out an answer to it all?

voice;

[in-three.livejournal.com]

Am I accepting that it's real? Yes. Am I satisfied with staying here? Hell no.

voice;

[constructum]

How do you know it's real though? That is the real question.

And what are you planning on doing about all of this?

voice;

[in-three.livejournal.com]

Because this isn't the first time I've found myself on an alien vessel?

I'm planning on finding out just what sort of mess we've gotten ourselves into. Right now we have more important issues than how we arrived.

voice;

[constructum]

[ there is a pause on her end then. cause seriously? ] Well then, hopefully you'll find some answers faster..[ a beat ] voice, whose name I didn't catch.

And what exactly are you planning on doing? [ details. plans. she wants in on this, if it helps her figure out this hell hole. ]

voice;

[in-three.livejournal.com]

It's Kirk. Jim Kirk.

Get into the databanks, try and strip some information off this baby. There's gotta be some kind of anomaly in there.

Ariadne.

I have a friend - he's here with me - he might be able to help.

[ please don't make her regret offering to help. ]

[pinged.]

How so?

[constructum]

[ vague honesty time. ]

He is one of the best at collecting data where I'm from. [ a beat. ] And he can get into almost anywhere - if that makes any sense.

[ lord, just WAIT till she realizes eames is on the ship too. then you can have them both. ]

voice | locked

[in-three.livejournal.com]

That's pretty vague. [can't pull the wool of this one's eyes.] What's his name?

voice | locked

[constructum]

[ dammit. he never gave her a false name. SO she can be honest, right? ] Arthur. [ a beat. ] I shouldn't be telling you this.

But. Seriously, if you need something done, he is your man.

voice | locked

[in-three.livejournal.com]

[he'd ask why but, well, they've all got their secrets.]

I'll keep that in mind.

Is he any good with this kind of tech?

voice | locked

[constructum]

[ a sigh. ]

I highly doubt he has ever come across anything like this here.

I'm more saying; he is good at breaking in, getting you to where you need to be. Tell me this is making sense?

voice | locked

[in-three.livejournal.com]

[you can hear the eyebrow raise.]

He's good at breaking in, but he isn't a hacker.

voice | locked

[constructum]

[ and she'll just groan slightly at that. ]

He might be actually good act hacking; he seems to be able to obtain all the information we all need after all.

Thieves. We're thieves. [ a beat. ] Well I'm not entirely, but that is what you could consider us. [ OH MY GOD, SHUT UP ARIADNE! ]

voice | locked

[in-three.livejournal.com]

[he pauses, and then he chuckles.]

So you do what you have to to get shit done. Alright.

[I can roll with that.]
