'Meat' 'n Greet

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see a green-skinned alien and snake girl among their number. There are also several authoritative-looking figures ready to introduce themselves.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies.]

He'd gotten used to some of how things worked here on Stacy....the plantsuit thing wasn't one of 'em so compared to many, the blue-skinned odd-critter might be considered naked. Despite the fact he's not got a damn thing anatomically to hide anyway, but that's beside the point.
Point is, he'd gotten used to how some things worked and every so often, he'd meet new life-forms which, apparently, all came from here. With the heralding sounds of poppery, of course. That...he wasn't sure he'd ever be used to but curiosity was always consistent.

Walls or no walls, curiosity was always consistent.

Except, when it came to noting smells that maybe shouldn't have been familiar, that leads to something entirely different. He'd talked back to a starship captain. He'd bitten a plethora of trees. He'd met two identical/not-identical Vulcans. And now...

Sniff. Chirp. Up go the pair of five-inch ears.

"Hoo-Hoo-Rrrrah?"

She looked for the source of the voice and had to do a bit of a double-take. It was blue and unfamiliar and had it just said--

"What?" she asked, startled.

"Hoo-Hoo-Rrrah. Is Hoo-Hoo-Rrrah? Wi-th Dahm-mit Djihm ahn-d Pock-kit. On big shi-p?" Chirp.

Curious. But nervous. Wild shades of amber and a bit of gold flash across his skin as the beastie edges closer...apparently trying to sniff at her like an animal sniffs at a Human.

"I am Lieutenant Uhura from the Federation starship Enterprise," Uhura said very carefully dropping to a knee. "I don't think I know you, though. Dammit Jim, however, sounds about right."

Give him a minute. Yes, Uhura, he's sniffing at you and his ears are twitching like mad. The big eyes blink a time or two but that's...about it.
Chirp.

"Eee. Eey-ess, big shi-p tha-t noh go-t say-uhll. It go-t Dahm-mit Djihm, Pock-kit, Hoo-Hoo-Rrrrah. Ahnd it ki-ck Rrrraw-man buhtt!"

Chirp-squeak!

Uhura let him sniff and was still very, very confused as she listened. Romulan butt? Pock-- Oh, God. Spock. And Kirk. And herself.

"Nero?" she asked, tilting her head just a little. "We defeated Nero a few months ago, but I'm not sure I saw you there."

"Knee wha-t? Eee, noh. Noh." Sniff. Wait, is he...actually smiling a bit?

"Noh s-mell Kay-yuh-luh." Another sniff.

"Hoo-Hoo-Rrrrah, frrrom o-ther Big Shi-p?"

"Yes. I'm from another Enterprise," she said, wondering about the other Uhura for a moment. "In my timeline, a Romulan known as Nero altered time by attacking and destroying the USS Kelvin. That completely derailed the normal timeline from that moment forward, so, I am from an alternate universe from the original."

"Eeee. Hoo-Hoo-Rrrrah li-ke Pock-kit. New. Goo-d." Chirp.

A trill and an ear-twitch later, the sniffing beastie offers a kind of gentle nudge. He knows the language of animals much more fluently than that of English.
