because Sabra AUs are fun and games until someone loses an eye

Oh.

[ well he's heard of those too. hand lowering a bit. ]

... You look very similar to one then.

[scienceping]

Romulans and Vulcans share a common ancestry.

... Where have you heard of either species?

[senior_citizen]

There's a Romulan on Pyxis. You don't know her?

[scienceping]

[damnit]

... Negative. I was a part of Lacerta, though I do not recall anyone else from my reality other than one person.

[senior_citizen]

Lacerta?

[ he's looking for green but not seeing it, is he ]

[scienceping]

I am not wearing the Lacertan uniform as we are no longer in Sabra La Tau.

[senior_citizen]

[ ggglances up at the sunlight ]

This isn't a game?

[scienceping]

In a sense, this could be considered a game by many, though it is not of Sabra La Tau.

[senior_citizen]

... What kind, then? What team are you on?

[scienceping]

There are no teams in Court other than alliances made by contract.

[senior_citizen]

Then we're enemies?

[scienceping]

Negative. We are allies, you and I.

[senior_citizen]

Not if I've never met you before in your life. And you called me "Captain."

[scienceping]

We have met though you do not recall our acquaintance at this moment.

You are Captain Steven Rogers, and I am Commander Spock.

[senior_citizen]

[ !?! ]

-- that's my name. But it's not my title.

[scienceping]

Not your title?

[senior_citizen]

Why do you think I'm a captain?

[ there's something... measured to his tone here. he knows something he's not saying. ]

[scienceping]

Because that is what you had told me previously.

[senior_citizen]

I'm telling you, I don't know you. We've never met.

[scienceping]

Not in Sabra La Tau, but here in Court.

[senior_citizen]

[ just. shakes his head again. he's too scared, too unwilling to trust Spock. ]

Tell me where the rest of Canis is.

[scienceping]

I am unable to relate that information as they are not within Court, so far as I know.

[senior_citizen]

... It's just me?

[scienceping]

Affirmative.

[senior_citizen]

Good to know.

[ he tenses, preparing to bolt ]
