taxonomites | 003: ACCIDENTAL VISUAL//LOCATION: ENTERPRISE BRIDGE [i feel like a monster]

If anyone were watching Uhura step onto the bridge of the Enterprise, they wouldn't have assumed that anything was amiss. And nothing was, until the doors slid shut behind her and she took a look around.

This wasn't the bridge she knew. It looked the same, but there were things about it that were...off. But she couldn't put her finger on why things weren't right, and it irritated her.

Frowning, she started heading over to her station, then stopped suddenly and looked down at herself. And what was wrong there was more obvious - this wasn't the right uniform at all. The skirt was the right length, but it was all one dress, not the midriff-baring top and skirt she was used to.

She looked up and around, trying to find some more clues that would tell her where she was and what was happening. And then she spotted it on the main viewscreen.

"NCC 17-01?" Her disgust and anger was ill-disguised, hands clenched into fists as her eyes narrowed. "U.S.S. Enterprise? What the hell is happening here?"

[OOC: uhura's ~~finally~~ been glitched! she is now the mirror version of herself, meaning she'll be quick to anger and that there's the possibility of her getting aggressive/violent, but i will be sure to clear things with you before she does anything to your character. proceed with caution and have fun. :)

also, my apologies for taking so long to get this up and thanks for your patience! ♥]

[ this is true, but as long as she isn't thrown into a building then everything will be juuuuust peachy. ]

What do you mean? Did the aliens do something to it?

[no throwing into buildings, promise. but we can't promise she won't try to shank you.]

You'd have to be more specific.

[ this will be cordelia o____O at you uhura. ]

Duh. How am I supposed to be more specific? You're the one who said it's all "different".

I meant about the aliens. Which ones are you referring to? Klingons, Cardassians? I imagine the Vulcans will be wanting revenge for not saving their planet.

...the ones we haven't identified yet, since they've been so silent and, well, invisible lately.

Are you okay?

No, I'm not okay. Someone's changed things around here and...

Who are you, anyway?

Cordelia Chase. Remember? We met during that party of mine a looooong time ago. In the hotel?

[there's a long pause.]

You're not with the Empire.

Unless you mean Ralph Lauren's, then no. I'm not. Just your regular civilian here.

[she sounds almost disgusted.]

Ralph Lauren?

[ it's official: people from space have no sense of humor. or fashion. sigh. ]

It was a joke. An Earth thing.

[hey now, uhura's got a good sense of both when she's not cray-cray. hell, even this version of her dresses pretty well, if a little provacative.]

I knew what it was, I don't have time for humor right now. I'm trying to figure out what the hell has happened to me and the ship.

[ but she doesn't know who Ralph Lauren is! That's just... sad.]

Uh, Uhura? You've been in this place for quite a long time now. I mean that ship really hasn't... sailed or flew or whatever, as far as I know.

[would ralph lauren even still be around in the future?]

In this place? [a bit of a pause.] Where are we?

[ ...maybe? ]

Yeah. We're in Taxon.

[ pauuuuuuuse. ]

You're not... what's the last thing you remember?

[she huffs, sounding impatient.]

I was reporting for duty on the bridge.

Well, there went my amnesia theory.

Is there a point to this line of questioning? Do you have any useful ideas about how the Enterprise got in this state? If not, then you're wasting my time.

[ what. seriously, what. ]

Well sor-ry for worrying about you. Obviously there's nothing wrong, just an extreme case of PMS.

[sorry, cordy. she's going to feel really bad about this when it's all over, if that's any consolation. ;-;

dryly.] I appreciate the concern.

Got a feeling you don't, but whatever.

Believe whatever you want.

[and with that, she shuts off her tablet.]
