This is Leonard McCoy, Chief Medical Officer aboard the USS Enterprise. Bridge, do you copy?

[ There’s a man in science blue standing next to the fountain, looking cold and grumpy as he shakes his device. ]

Damn interference… Enterprise, this is McCoy. I don’t know what the hell happened with those infernal transporters, but I’m damn sure I ain’t where I’m supposed to be. Scott, can you hear me? Jim? Uhura? Sulu? Chekov? Chapel? Anyone?

… Spock?

[ Nothing, not even the hobgoblin. Dammit. ]

Right, well. Looks like I’ll try and blend in. Christmas music and all...

[ Except since his communicator couldn’t reach the Enterprise, it broadcasted his conversation to the entire city instead… ]

I hope to study it in college.

[ guess who is also only seventeen. :3 ]

[ OH GOD IT'S GIRL CHEKOV. ]

... How old are you, kid?

voice;

[terrestrial]

Seventeen.

[mintjulep]

[ Oh good, she's seventeen. ]

... You're not Russian, are you?

voice;

[terrestrial]

I'm American.

voice;

[mintjulep]

Right. Sorry -- you sounded like a kid I know for a while there.

voice;

[terrestrial]

I did?

[ a star trek character or some kid who didn't go to conventions and cosplay, that's the question. ]

voice;

[mintjulep]

Yeah. Russian whizkid -- he's our navigator and a physicist. At seventeen. [ He doesn't sound like he knows what to make of that. ]

[ chekov. wow. she's actually kind of flattered, despite still believing that this guy is some star trek fan who's way too into this show for his own good. ]

I can't imagine holding a degree in the field at this age. I mean, there's just so much more out there to learn and I know a lot, but I wouldn't consider myself an expert. I want to be, someday, but seventeen's too young to be an expert on anything. Don't you think?

Depends on who you are, I suppose. Then again, I might know way too many book-smart people.
