[The feed begins as voice, a man’s concerned but controlled voice making an official-sounding request:] Enterprise, come in. This Lieutenant Commander Geo--

[A brief moment of silence as the feed switches to video, and it becomes obvious why Geordi is having trouble working the device. His eyes, without iris or pupil, clearly mark him as blind.] Any Federation vessel? [A pause.] Computer? Computer, respond.

[He sighs, but doesn’t look surprised. A slight scoff, as if he’s somehow amused while also being irritated.] Figures. How do I switch frequencies on this thing? They could’ve at least left me with my combadge. But alright, let’s try... [He fiddles with the comm buttons and the feed swaps back to voice.]

Hello? Does anyone copy? I could use a little help here, and I’m getting used to the idea of not being picky.

((OOC: Action open to anyone who wants to find a blind man meandering around the beach!))

	Well in tha' case... perhaps I kin give you a bit of help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh yeah? I'd sure appreciate it, since I'm at a disadvantage in a few ways, right about now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You still where they left you? Sector Zero? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I'm not really sure. There's sand under my feet, or something a lot like sand. That aside, I guess I'm not a lot of help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Of course he would be at the beach. Mal shudders at the thought.] Right then, the beach. I'll be there quick-like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure. [The guy seems friendly enough, and he's not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.] You can bet I'm not going anywhere fast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A few minutes later, Mal walks up. He waves at the seemingly lost looking guy on the beach, a little miffed when the guy doesn't wave back. It's only until he actually catches up to the guy that he realizes he's blind. Oh well isn't this just shiny.] Oh.. Hi. I'm Mal... Were jus' talkin' to you on the comms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	visualizing 2013-08-09 12:11 pm UTC (link)
	Right. [He recognizes the voice, and smiles.] I'm Geordi. Thanks for coming, Mal. [He reaches out a hand, in Mal's general direction.] I could use all the help I can get. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-08-09 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	[Mal takes hold of Geordi's hand for a hand shake and drops it, but stays pretty close, unsure what exactly he's to do.] Well, yer on the beach now. D'you have friends here? Or I could help you find lodgin's...? [Blind people tend to not survive long where he's from. Definitely not on a spaceship. He doesn't deal with them very often.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

As it turns out, I do. My friend Data and my Captain both got here a while ago, it sounds like. But hey, I appreciate the offer, because I easily could have been on my own, here.

[He's really like to glance around, see what there is to see, but until he and Data figure out another VISOR or a replacement he's going to have to rely on others.]

But if there's anything you can tell me about this place, I'd be better off than I am now.

	Righ' Well, best I can figure, we're underwater somewhere. Bit disconcertin' when I been livin' in the sky fer so long. Prison is divided into six sectors. This here is sector 1. It has the beach. With an ocean. I stay away from here and sector 2 mostly. Pretty happy in sector 3 which is most like home for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	visualizing 2013-08-15 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Stay away? Why, what's wrong with sectors one and two? [He's not exactly alarmed, but curious. If he's going to be blind for a while, best that he know as much as possible.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't much care for beaches or too much schoolin'. Others seem to like it fine though. Supposedly beaches is relaxin'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	visualizing 2013-08-22 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	Depends on the beach, I'd say. I've been to some planets where the seashore isn't exactly a paradise. [Which is to say, to each their own.] What's in Sector three that agrees with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-08-23 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	Just... feels like life back in my time an' place. Ain't a ship, but the food and the... architecture. It's what I see when planetside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	visualizing 2013-08-23 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	I gotcha. It's always nice to see a little bit of home. [Which is why the holodecks are so popular.] I hope one day soon I get to see what you mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can you normally see? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	visualizing 2013-08-27 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Well, sort of. I have a device that interprets electromagnetic waves into implants in my brain. I don't see like I'm guessing you do, but it works for me. I didn't have it on when I was taken. I guess it's on to Plan B. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-08-27 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	[Big words that Mal's not sure what they all mean.] What's plan B then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Geordi grins easily. He's pretty used to ad libbing.] Figuring out how to get a hold of my VISOR or make a substitute. And to do that, I'll need some help finding out what's around that's useful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2013-08-27 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	You good at tech? [Mal's extremely interested now. People who know technology are extremely useful in his mind.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm the Chief Engineer of the starship Enterprise. So yeah, I'm pretty good with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Chief Engineer! You got more than one engineer on yer ship?! Shiny! How big is she? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A little over a thousand, if you include the civilians and families. It's a galaxy-class ship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
