1st Diagnostic - Action/Video

[snapturtle]

[Action House 1]

[After having been dumped in Jade's workshop, and getting directions from the colonel himself, the occupants of house 1 might notice a stranger in New Feather clothes passing through. If no one notices or bothers to stop her, she will just walk out the front door in hopes of keeping as much of her dignity intact as possible.

After that B'Elanna goes to the clothing shop, finds her uniform, changes, then seats herself on a bench outside to look over her journal. Which she soon discovers is a communication device.]

I'm looking for tools. Where can I find some?

[Her stomach also decides to take this moment to speak.]

And I hope there's something decent to eat around here.

[She's touched by his generosity. They hadn't had that offering of help the last time they encountered someone with the ability to get them home.]

If it could get us home, it would mean a lot.

[thefinaljedi]

That's a big if, of course. That's assuming we find a way out that allows travel between realities, you know.

Re: [video]

[snapturtle]

I realize that, but its still something.

[video]

[thefinaljedi]

Right. So, what are you trying to do with that commbadge?

Re: [video]

[snapturtle]

[There's a pause.]

It might be better to show you.

[thefinaljedi]

Alright. Where would you like me to meet you? Or is it something I could see through the network?

[snapturtle]

How about the fountain in the center of town?

[That was one of the few places she was familiar with so far.]

[thefinaljedi]

I can be there in a few minutes, certainly.

[snapturtle]

[He would find her waiting at the fountain with journal, combadge, and some tools she had borrowed from Spock. She quietly tinkered as she waited for Luke's arrival.]

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke meanders over with a wave.]

Hope you weren't waiting too long.

[snapturtle]

[Hearing his voice, she looks up.]

Not at all.

[She then holds up the partially dismantled combadge.]

As you can see its small, and it would be difficult to show any details over these... journals. Plus I didn't want to get anyone's hopes up.

[thefinaljedi]

Well it is small.

[He looks at the intricate work.]

But what are you trying to do with it?

[snapturtle]

I'm turning it into a distress beacon.

...

I know. It probably won't work. That barrier might block the signal and there's not much of a chance it will even reach anyone outside this anomaly.

[thefinaljedi]

It's not a bad project. Who knows, it's possible that if you get it outside the barrier, it might be able to reach someone. Just a chance, mind you.

[snapturtle]

Right, but has anyone actually been outside the barrier?

[thefinaljedi]

Yes. Missions, drafts, kidnappings and the like all occur outside Luceti.

[snapturtle]

[This gets her thinking for a moment.]

Then the next time there's a mission I can take it with me and activate the beacon.

[thefinaljedi]

You can even sign up for a mission, you know. They take volunteers for regular assignments, including working on their starships.

[snapturtle]

They have starships?

[That's certainly news to her.]

[thefinaljedi]

They do. We've been forced to fight on them once.

[snapturtle]

[There was a look a distaste on her face.]

I don't like the idea of doing anything for them, but that might be my best shot at trying it.

[thefinaljedi]

It's better than sitting around doing nothing, at least.

[snapturtle]

[She sighs.]

I know.
