Day 405 [closed action | open action]
[action | closed to Kitty]

[As it happens, waking up three years older than you were when you went to sleep is mildly disorienting. Waking up in bed next to someone who wasn't present in any of those three years compounds the effect. Chekov--newly twenty-four and, as far as he can remember, fresh from yet another near-death experience--sits up with a start. This is definitely not his room at Yorktown Starbase. This is...

MarinaNova. He's in bed with Kitty. He has been here for one-hundred twelve days.

Chekov lowers his head to his hands and groans. There are two different yesterdays in his mind, both equally vivid and real, and it's way too early to deal with that.]

[action | open]

[Chekov, three years older than he was yesterday and considerably more dazed than usual, does a circuit of the dome. Everything has a not-quite-rightness to it that he can't put his finger on and he feels oddly out of place. He isn't, of course. He was here yesterday, and he remembers that yesterday like it was... yesterday, which it was. But he also remembers a yesterday where he was a universe away and waiting for the Enterprise to be rebuilt. In that universe, he was on year three of a five-year mission.

He's looking for Kirk, specifically. It would be easiest to call him up, but Chekov would much rather talk in person.]

A perception filter... like a cloaking device. [He nods, somewhat glad that he isn't affiliated with Jack's people. The risks that they must take every time they travel though time makes him and his overly cautious tendencies nervous, and he's just listening! (It's interesting, though, and much better than talking about what happened at home or where Chekov's head is.)]

Aha, well. Controlling lights and playing music are very important functions. [He smiles a little, still trying to determine how the wrist strap works just by looking at it.] It's important, too, to have some of your home here with you. In places like this, something sentimental is more valuable than something useful.

Yeah, almost a cloaking device. Not quite invisible but more... unnoticeable, if that makes sense?

[He smiles at Chekov's attempt at levity, appreciating that his head is still very full of other, much more serious, stuff.

He looks down at the strap and smiles.] It's very important to have something like that. For a long time, I never had a home, never put down roots. This was the thing that always came with me. What I turned to to remember things. It still holds a lot of records. Some of them got corrupted at the same time as the vortex manipulator shorted out, but I've still got some things in there.

[He presses a few buttons and the tiny screen sparks into action with information about some random alien species. He shrugs.] This kind of thing came in useful when I was working for Torchwood.
