caveofsapphires | All Of These Familiar Faces [OPEN]

WHO: Trip Tucker (Rudolph Wright) & Major Malcolm Reed (Vincent Stark), open
WHAT: Running into a (not so) familiar face right after waking up
WHERE: Living Quarters
WHEN: April 21st
WARNINGS: All additional threads take place after the first one with Trip and the Major. Tag one or tag both, either is fine!

Could this day get any more ridiculous? First, Trip had had to deal with alien Nazis who were trying to take over the time stream and damn Suliban who tied him up in a closet. At least he'd found out the Captain wasn't dead, so there was one plus. Then, he'd woken up in some strange place and told that everything he ever knew was a dream. That he was really this Rudolph (Rudolph? Really? Wasn't Charles Tucker the Third enough of a mouthful?) Wright guy who'd been put to sleep to avoid some Disaster and that was about all he'd gotten before he'd just stopped listening.

This just had to be another trick. First, the Enterprise had been pulled through time and now he'd been pulled into some other reality. That was the only way he could make sense of this. And he was going to find a way home and nothing or no one was going to stop him, no matter what proof they tried to show him that he belonged here. He belonged on Enterprise, on Earth or in Florida, he'd except no other substitutions.

Trip had searched the room he'd been shown to, and after finding nothing but more frustration, he decided he better go take a look around. There had to be something in this cave that could help him find a way out of here and he was going to find it.

At the new voice, Trip looked up from one of the most confusing conversations of his life. His hand was cradled to his chest, fingers at odd angles thanks to the man who was definitely not his best friend, no matter how he looked or who he said he was. This Malcolm was crazy!

"Like ya wouldn't believe." He said as evenly as he could, trying to hide the pain in his fingers from the new comer.

Malcolm paused at hearing a new voice and looked up to see Chivy. Damn, and here he was hoping to get more time to examine his handiwork before possibly moving on to bigger and better bones to break if Trip gave him the excuse. Oh well, he could always wait until later to try again. Looking as if he didn't just break Trip's fingers, he turned his attention to the newcomer.

"Of course we are. Who wouldn't be in this sort of place?" Malcolm replies in a bored sort of tone, seeming like he'd rather be elsewhere. "Well, excluding those who woke us up, obviously."

"Am I interrupting?" Chivy hadn't yet pinged on what was going on, but he could tell they both sounded a bit off.

"No!" Trip did not want to be left alone with Malcolm any more and any interruption was more then welcome. Not that he wanted Malcolm to hurt anyone else but he hoped the chances were less with more people around. "Did you just wake up too?"

"Not at all," Malcolm said almost cheerfully as he looked over at Trip. Hopefully this defective version of the commander knew better to say anything about the broken fingers to this new person. "Are you one of the Sleepers too?"

"Yeah," Chivy said, nodding in response to both of them. "I woke up and they brought me back here. It doesn't really make much sense."

Trip did know better but more because he didn't want the new person getting hurt by Crazy Malcolm. He just held his hand close and tried not to look like he was in as much pain as he was. "Sounds like yer in the same situation as us. We were just, uh, discussing how much it don't make sense."
