[The feed flips on, and B'Elanna's sitting at her desk, studying a PADD. She's in a yellow, twenty-fourth century Starfleet uniform, and the way she's frowning at what she's reading makes her cranial ridges more prominent. But it's only a few seconds before she discards the PADD onto the desk, and looks up.]Right. So as I understand it, this ship

That'd be a guy named Harper, who'll probably try and get into your pants.

The more sensible option, however, would be a lady named Toshiko.

With luck, one of them might see this and point you the right way...

And yes, completely normal. As is potentially turning into a man-eating giraffe or feeling the impulse to declare your entire sexual history, whenever we get something called a 'flood'.

Feel free to explain how a flood might make me a giraffe.

Fucked if I know... They just do, is all.

It's like some kind of magical, interdimensional 'influence'. Sometimes it turns you into an animal. Sometimes it makes you go psychotic. Sometimes it turns us all into little kids. Sometimes it makes us fall in love with someone completely wrong for you.

Think of it as a sort of really crappy lucky dip. No way to shield yourself from it. Just the sheer luck of the draw.

So it's like having a Q around. [Screw that.:|]

{Holmes is in his sitting room, dressed in his usual, smoking a cigarette.}

Considerably normal, Miss.

[She knew it wasn't going to be like Voyager, but. Man.] It's Lieutenant. What's going on here?

{Holmes bristles visibly at the rank, and her tone.}

Any number of schemes, dramas, arguments, disagreements, and banal platitudes which are common issue aboard this vessel.

[Which makes her frown. What's that bristling for, mister.]

Those are common on any starship, but usually they're a little more subtle.

Welcome to the Barge, ma'am. [n_n curtsey~]

And well... whether it's depends on what you mean by "this kind of crap"!

[no_exaggeration]

[...Did she just get curtseyed at. What is this.] ...Thanks.

I mean the threatening with - guns, are they serious?

[strangehstorian]

[c:]

Oh. No, I don't think that happens often, at least not with two wardens! Miss Parker and Mr. Howie simply had a every emotional misunderstanding. No one was actually harmed.

[no_exaggeration]

Well that's comforting.

[Oh you're a charmer, Marco, she's going to enjoy hating you.]

Oh, that's new. There's nothing wrong with my forehead.

[He makes it very entertaining. And she's somewhere between sounding huffy and annoyed as hell.]

I'm half-Klingon.

[blesseddumbfuck]

It's normal if you have only been here for a few days.

[no_exaggeration]

Does that mean you're new too?

[blesseddumbfuck]

I'm new, too.

What is your name?

[no_exaggeration]

B'Elanna Torres.

When did you get here?
