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… ]

Not exactly like death would be back home, at least. Someone sent me a guide.

[ Doesn't mean he isn't going to try his damndest to save them. ]

A bar sounds better, actually.

You have a favorite?

[Of course not, but Chase spent almost three years commenting on the impossibility of the city. After a trip home in which his real life spiralled out of control he's almost too beaten down to care that this place is crazy.]

Colliseum, if you like a place where nobody cares about knowing your name.

[Something he finds preferable when drinking, and these days he drinks hard.]

[ He's reminded of himself for a moment, of southern bars and his ex-wife, and he has to take a moment before he replies. ]

Not like I know anyone here to begin with. How's the bourbon there?

We just had Thanksgiving. Wild Turkey's in season.

Doesn't sound half bad.

I'll shout you today, if you do one thing for me.

[mintjulep]

And what's that?

Bring any tech through with you?

[mintjulep]

[ There's a pause, and then he actually chuckles. ]

I've got my medkit. Hyposprays, a few vaccines and pain killers, dermal regenerator, tricorder...

[Not a fanboy.... not a fanboy.... oh, give it up.]

Give me a guided tour of it and I'll pick up the bar tab.

[ He's changed his mind. You're not half bad. ]

Deal.
