[Yesterday, Number One had been lucky enough to keep her uniform; today, much to her dismay, she's in standard-issue first-day orange. She's also still here, which apparently isn't a universal thing for those who'd ended up in the prison. As such, this is not shaping up to be her best day. Still, her expression is schooled into careful neutrality.]

I am given to understand that every individual in this facility was brought here under circumstances similar to my own: unexpectedly, and without any chance to defend him- or herself against the charges for which we are allegedly being held captive. As such, logic dictates that I am not the only one dissatisfied with the situation.

[She shifts, slightly, the only visible manifestation of her irritation.]

If possible, I would like access to any information regarding appeals to the authorities responsible for our incarceration, or other attempts-- successful or not-- to leave this 'Asylum.'

[A beat, and she adds:]

I am First Lieutenant Robbins, executive officer, U.S.S. Enterprise, registry NCC-1701. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with any Starfleet personnel remaining in this facility.

Thank you.

	I rather suspect your history books have more detail than I could provide, about some missions. [That's what happens when Pike makes you stay on the bridge all the time, sigh.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Technical details, sure. But there's a lot that never gets into the official mission logs. A lot of my favorite memories are things that happened in Ten Forward or on the holodeck -- that's some newer technology we have that lets us use holographic images for recreation.

Anyway, I guess the reminiscing should wait. I'm not even really settled in yet, myself. Is there anything you need? [The fanboy just wants to be helpful!]

	Per Captain Picard's advice I expect I will be lodging in your shared apartment, or nearby if there isn't sufficient room. I am given to understand all other necessary items can be found at the businesses within the dome? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah? That sounds great, and I'm sure we'll make room. Starfleet officers should stick together in a place like this if we ever want to get back to our respective timelines.

You've heard right that almost all our needs are taken care of -- although we have to cook for ourselves since there's no replicators. I can't say I've cooked much in my life, so it's been interesting. [Growing up on starships and then going right into the Academy meant never really knowing what the whole "home cooking" thing is, at least not for more than a few patches of his life here and there.]

	It seems like the logical arrangement. I'm given to understand the Wardens here would appreciate that-- building new skills is part of their program of rehabilitation, is it not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's something like that. But considering that they charged me with things that aren't even crimes and were part of my duties with Starfleet, I don't think learning to make couscous is going to cover it. Even if my mom would be pretty proud. [C'mon, that joke was awful. Crack a smile!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Oh, Geordi, it's easier to make Spock smile.] Although I agree on principle, I think it may prove convenient to court the authorities' good graces. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No arguments here. I doubt we're going to get far on goodwill, though. We're dealing with programmed responses that have already condemned us here for eternity. It's worth a try, but Data and I are working on a few other things.

I'm sure you'll hear all about them once we get a chance to really talk. [And assuming he can stop fanboying long enough... which he will! For the greater good! But, well, downtime is for socializing...]

	I do concur; I'm more concerned with avoiding limitations on our actions as we strive to find a more permanent solution. Entrusting our fates to their clearly biased judgment hardly seems productive. I look forward to hearing everything you've learned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Great! So, I guess I'll see you at home. Anything I can pick up for you? I'm still exploring, but I've found the shops. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I appreciate the offer, but I believe I have everything I need currently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. I'll see you later on, then. And if you do think of something, give me a call. (Reply to this) (Parent)
