[video] the hunt is on

[notvulcan]

My name is Michael Burnham. I'm seeking crew members of the Starfleet ship USS Discovery.

The reason I'm looking for them is a long, long story, but I'd appreciate any information you have. Because of my method of transport at the time I landed here, it was possible we'd end up at different times or even different places.

[ Yes, prioritized in that order. ]

Meanwhile, I'm interested in any answers or discussion people can give on the tech here. Some of it seems advanced to me but other elements are more...regressive.

[ Data can theoretically allow himself to be pinged by anything anybody says at all on the network. He's always got interest to go around.

Starfleet, for obvious reasons, takes much more precedence. ]

This is Lieutenant Commander Data of the USS Enterprise. I am sorry, but I am not aware of any Federation vessels by the name Discovery having been in service, Michael. Do you have more information?

[ Trust but verify, only it's the Data version that usually tends to stop at "trust." ]

[ Michael feels a sense of relief at finding another Starfleet officer, at the least, and one from the organization's flagship, at that. She doesn't smile much, though, merely nodding. ]

Hello, Data. It's very good to meet you. I apologize for being confusing, but the existence of Discovery was made classified when we went into the future. If everything went as planned I should have landed in the 3180s. Is that correct?

Intriguing. I cannot accurately account for the ultimate location or stardate of this reality. It is possible you have achieved your goal. It is equally possible, however, that the circumstances are entirely unrelated. Assessments beyond pure conjecture are limited.

All I can say with certainty is that before my arrival here, the year was 2366. It would appear we are both quite displaced.

[ A couple of sore Starfleet thumbs in ill-fitting company jumpsuits. Tragic. ]

So there's no information available.

[ Figures. ]

How are you doing, settling in here? I admit I find it troublesome.

It has been... unusual. Jorgmund operates on certain moral and ethical principles that the Federation eliminated many years ago. I have found our fellow New Hires to be quite sociable and eager to assist one another during times of hardship, and often willing to educate others on the differences in their own realities. Those differences, however, could lead to misunderstandings or conflict if addressed without caution.

[ He hesitates, almost sheepish. ]

Social delicacy is not something that I am known for.

I don't know you, but I feel as though I know what you mean.

[ He reminds her of many on Vulcan, actually, but different from that somehow, too. ]

I myself was raised by Vulcans. Joining Starfleet was... It was like rejoining a club I had left years ago and had forgotten the rules for membership.

I believe the wildly differing technology levels are due to the fact that much of it is what they could salvage or recreate after the Gone-Away War.

Also, hi. My name's Gadget.

Hello, Gadget. Do you know much about this war?
