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… ]

Can people use phones that aren't part of the network?

If they can hear us, we can't hear them. Right. [ Must be some sort of interference. ]

Sort of? They just connect to the network though - phones, computers, any communicator. All of them somehow tap into the same thing.

Yeah, I guess but...I'm not sure anyone can hear us. I think...it's probably more like it works both ways - we can't hear them and they can't hear us because the barrier kind of is like a huge shield. I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I've been here for a while and I've never heard anything through it without it being down.

Sounds kind of hard to have a private conversation.

That's possible, too-- [ wait. ] It's been down?
