Day 293 - Video / Action
[VIDEO]
[It's well into evening by the time Chekov, confident that he has a solid understanding of this new prison, makes use of the communication device that he was issued upon arrival. The nineteen year-old bears a striking resemblance to a current inmate. His posture is significantly better, he looks far healthier, and he has a ridiculous accent, but there may still be confusion.]

This is Lieutenant Pavel Andreievich Chekov of the starship Enterprise. I would ask anyone who is affiliated with Starfleet to respond to this message, please.

[Not the most subtle of hails, but he doesn't want to risk missing fellow officers by taking a stealthier approach. Why put effort into being subtle, anyway? Isolated prison universes are very different from, say, alien planets; Starfleet's rules regarding contact with new lifeforms hardly apply.

Business out of the way, the Russian abandons the careful diction and formal tone for something warmer and more personable.]

Is there anyone who is interested in speaking with me? I find foreign universes very lonely and boring when everyone is still a stranger.

[ACTION]
[Chekov spends the day investigating sectors one, two, and three, taking a special interest in the maintenance bots that are busy cleaning up after the storm. The food carts in sector one also capture his attention. As soon as he decides that it would be ridiculous for those in charge to poison those they wish to rehabilitate, he becomes intent on tasting everything that is both edible and unfamiliar. When imprisoned, it's always wise to take advantage of any hospitality offered.

He keeps the headset off as often as possible. It's an annoying contraption--not nearly as sleek and unobtrusive as devices at home with similar functions. Should anyone address him in a language that he doesn't understand, however, he's perfectly willing to put it back on, as is polite.]

	I was never told about a Seven of Nine. [Janeway's crew wasn't ever terribly forthcoming about their backgrounds or their associates, but six crewmembers? That's quite a few people to lose. He frowns sympathetically.] It is difficult, being left behind when others disappear. I hope that you have not had to lose many friends. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She was not Starfleet in the strictest sense, from what I could see. I did not know her personally, but others did. [ like data. there was also the one who looked like her mother. that was awkward. ] It has been difficult, but as Starfleet officers, we are nothing if not adaptable.

[ she offers a smile. ] I believe that is something you may know well, coming from a similar situation.

Having friends leave is not so hard as finding them again and realizing that you are no longer the person they expect you to be. [Even before he started hopping universes, Chekov was accustomed to leaving people behind and being left behind. The real difficulty in the City had arrived along with his crewmembers after he had had over a year away from them to change and grow. There had been a distance between them that was never overcome, even after the City.

But there's no sense in being melancholy about things that cannot be changed. He brightens.] As you said, though, Starfleet officers are adaptable. I think that we have an unfair advantage in prisons like this one.
