[Uhura is on the porch today, surrounded by what looks like the insides of an old-fashioned transistor radio. She is utterly absorbed in messing about with the various wires and metal bits - she's been so busy with these experiments lately that she's kind of missed the fact that an experiment is going on.

After all, she can't see the thought bubbles if she doesn't even look up from her little wires.

Her current thoughts are full of wiring, circuitry and strange mathematical symbols, along with a smattering of other languages. There are some thoughts running by in English, though.

Like ((A signal boost would require a break in the barrier, but a break in the barrier would require a significant surge of power. What sort of power, is yet to be determined...))

Or ((Radio frequences are more than likely present, but I'd need to encrypt any messages and the likelihood of tampering is high...))

Or ((I wonder if Spock and Mal should meet...))]

It would be completely unproductive to assume otherwise.

I just hope that the people who are sent home don't forget everything that happened here.

[She has to consider that for a moment.]

There are some things I'd like to forget, but on the whole, I'd have to agree with you.

And then maybe... maybe when we all go back home, we can find a way to visit each other.

[Action]

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

That'd definitely be nice!

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe I could even ride on your ship.

I'm sure Captain Kirk could be persuaded to allow you on board.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Really?

[He's wanted to go into outer space ever since he talked with Crowe about it ages ago. The thought is like a dream come true for him.]

Emil, the chances are very slim indeed, but if we ever managed a way to cross universes, I'm sure Kirk would let you have a tour.

[knightofratatosk]

Thank you. You've all been so kind to me, and all I've done in return is blow up your microwave.

[Action]

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

Well, you have to admit, that was pretty funny.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah, I guess so, even though it did scare me a lot when it actually happened.

[Action]

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

Explosions do that. But no harm done.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Except to the potato and the plate.

[Action]

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

You were going to eat the potato in any case!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

But that's different!

[Action]

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

[Just... laughs.]

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

It is different, though... I mean, I was going to eat it, so it wouldn't be going to waste, and... does that even make any sense?

[Action]

[lt-linguist.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean, I was teasing.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Oh... right.

[Derpiness, Emil has it.]
