[Uhura is attempting to make her way to the library. This... might prove difficult, today.]

Busy day today.

Annoying, stupid and pointless.

Also, apparently, removing them would kill me.

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

Vhat? How is zhat possible?

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

I think Spock's still working that out.

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

Is Spock as old as you are, too?

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

I, well... more or less. He's a few years older than me, but... I doubt that's what you meant.

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

The Spock zhat I know is at least ten years older zhan I am.

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

Sounds about right. You were seventeen, last time I saw you.

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

[Whaaat the hell.]

How can I be in Starfleet if I vas sewenteen? I vas assigned to zhe Enterprise vhen I vas tventy-two!

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, she's been in that boat.]

Ever heard the theory of alternate realities?

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

[Yay something that I know about.]

Yes. The Keptin, Doktor McCoy, Sulu and you were in an alternate reality. Spock had a beard, Sulu had a scar and apparently I tried to kill the Keptin.

Do you think zhat the 'alternate reality' is vhy you are younger than I remember?

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

...What?

[She pauses, briefly trying to picture her Spock with a beard. Laughter ensues for a moment or two.]

Actually, uh, something bigger happened. Which... irreparably altered the timeline and changed the course of events.

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

Zhat is vhat happened! Spock had a beard and Sulu had a scar. Though, they apparently tortured alternate-me.

I understand. It vould be like if the Keptin vas not in charge of the Enterprise. One reality vould have Keptin Kirk in charge of the ship, vhile another one vould not.

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

Yes. From what I can gather, we seem to have ended up in more-or-less the same place, just... several years earlier, and with a few other minor alterations.

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

Vell, zhat's good. As long as there are no scars or beards, it cannot be zhat different.

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

There... might be a scar or two. But, uh, definitely no beards.

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

So, vhat is your reality like?

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I assume you mean - how is it different from yours. I can't speculate on much of that, I only know my reality. The last thing I remember, we had just embarked on a five-year mission.

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

Ah. My Enterprise just finished our five-year mission. But yes, zhat is vhat I meant.

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

I'll admit, I'm a bit curious as to whether my reality will directly parallel yours, or if it'll veer off completely somehow.

I doubt I'll never know, for sure, but it does make one wonder.

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

Vell, if it does, don't feed the Tribbles, vhen Keptin Kirk loses his memory he's just living with the the people on the planet, and do not vorry vhen Spock goes through pon farr. Everything turns out to be alright.

Massive win.

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

Tribbles?

...Pon what?

Well thank you. :3

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

Tribbles. They are small, fuzzy creatures that slightly look like hairballs. The Tribbles sound cute and make these adorable cooing noises, but when fed anything, they multiply.

And pon farr...vell, it's the Wulcan time of mating. It vas rather strange.

Good thing she's forgetting this...

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

Vulcan mating?

That is the sound of Uhura's brain breaking.

[tokenrussian.livejournal.com]

Da. It...it vas strange.

Muahahaha

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

[Needs more info.]

Strange how?
