Personal Log #7
[Video]
Greetings and salutations. I believe that it is customary for one to welcome those who are newly arrived into Luceti.
Welcome.
To those who have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I can be found regularly at the Battle Dome for those who want to learn to utilize the simulations.
A reminder to everyone that the Kobayashi Maru simulation has been tested and is ready for public use. I will express my thanks to Mister Obi-Wan Kenobi, Miss Ami Mizuno, and Miss Lirael for testing the program for me.
I also find myself requiring assistance for a project that I have agreed to.... though I find myself now at an impasse. I am currently working on a small scale version of projected diburnium-osmium shield technology... with some minor alterations. If anyone is familiar with this or is willing to help, please inform me.
Peace and long life.
[Action]
[Spock found himself once again frustrated by the recent memory lapse... for one who highly values mental discipline, it is... unnerving to find that your mind has been tampered with. However, Spock has long ago come to terms with this place and its disregard for dignity.
In the morning Spock can be found at the Dome by the computer terminals...but in the late afternoon strange, hauntingly beautiful music can be heard coming from House #2's backyard.
The Vulcan was pleased to have completed his Lyre, and was now enjoying an afternoon of practice.
In the evening, Spock actually ventures out to Seventh Heaven and can be found at a solitary table with a cup of tea.
Come and bother Spock at any and all of these locations.]

:3
Indeed. Can I be of assistance?
>.>
Yep. The face may be a little different from what Derek remembers, but this is definitely a piece of his childhood staring back at him.
...well not exactly, but we don't need to tell him that, now do we?
Derek will peer over the edge into one of the practice rooms before turning his attention fully on the console. Once he can get over the fact that he really is standing next to this guy, he'll be able to look Spock in the face. For right now, though? This console is absolutely fascinating to the hunter.
...Yeah. Small talk time.]
Heard these could be handy if you needed to practice certain things. Mind giving me a quick course? Derek Bliss, by the way.
heh~
It is well to make your acquaintance Mister Bliss. I am Spock...
[Spock regards the man for a moment...]
Are you certain that you are at optimal physical condition to do this?
no subject
[Derek will not grin, he will not grin, he will not grin...
It's a weird, off balance moment for the hunter, but a strangely good one. Still, if he doesn't want Spock questioning his mental health along with his physical...
He'll shake his head, using that moment to redirect his bemusement at the situation into his answer instead.]
I'm definitely not, uh, at 'optimal physical condition', no. But it would be nice to know how it works for when I am.
no subject
[Spock gestures to a chair....] If you are able, please take a seat. What simulation scenarios do you believe that you would be most interested in?
no subject
Well, I'm going to have to get back in shape once the leg's fixed. Should probably start with what I'm familiar with, which is...hunting vampires.
[There's a pause before he adds--]
Not the same ones from Buffy's world, if you know her.
no subject
I know of Miss Summers... a very intriguing individual.
[The Vulcan regards Derek.]
A most interesting choice of profession. There are base simulations from which you can build upon... change the 'enemies' to suit your own personal specifications. It is merely a matter of creating the image of the enemy. [Spock gestures to the computer... the command prompt up and running, every programmers dream.]
As for personal training... there are options to change the gravity field of the simulation in order to give you a higher challenge.
no subject
[Still, Derek will peer at the controls, making note of what makes sense and what doesn't on the panel. Looks like he could make a session really messy if he wanted to.]
Do you ever use it yourself, or are you more of a monitor in this situation?
no subject
I assist many individuals with the simulations, so you could state that I monitor more than partake in them.
Though I do utilize them from time to time.
I must admit... I would be curious to experience a simulation involving more phenomenological or paranormal aspects.
[Spock again looks at Derek's leg...] May I inquire as to what happened?
no subject
[He looks at his own leg then shrugs a little, the slightest of smiles on his lips.]
Had a slight disagreement with someone. We worked it out.
no subject
That is no 'slight disagreement'... that is a major altercation. How did you manage to 'work it out' after such an event?
no subject
[Derek shrugs a little.]
Some folks can only reason when their fists are involved.
no subject
Did he perhaps have red hair?
no subject
...No. Had tusks, though.
no subject
[Spock knew of this individual, though he had yet to meet him.] It is well that you did not sustain more severe injuries.
Though... perhaps you are used to such altercations?
no subject
no subject
Though it is unfortunate that it did not work out for you.
[Spock tilted his head....]
Are you supposed to be away from the medical wing at this time?
no subject
[Translation: as long as he doesn't get caught.]
no subject
It is amazing how the emotional psyche is not effected if knowledge of an event is not made known.
Do you need to go anywhere at this time? [Translation: Need to go out for a bit?]
no subject
[If you can get me out of the building for a bit, it would be really appreciated.]
no subject
[A beat of silence...]
I will get you a wheel chair. [the Vulcan stands and shortly returns with a wheelchair.]
no subject
And he suspects the Vulcan would be a lot more effective in preventing Derek from going.
So, wheelchair it is. At least it would get him out and somewhat around.]
So how long have you been here?
no subject
Approximately six point two months... It has been an interesting experience.
You are relatively new yes? How have you been adjusting?
no subject
Yes and no. "new as in, as far as I know, I just got here in January. Not so new as in there's several folks who say I've been here before. so...there you go.
I'm adjusting all right, I guess. Need to be home, but until we figure out how to get out, or I supposedly get bounced home again, not much to be done about it. I'm just hoping that whole thing about time standing still is true. [Otherwise, he'd be going home to an ugly mess.]
no subject
[Translation? Me too man, me too.]
So far, from any returned individuals that have retained their memory from their prior visit to Luceti have claimed that time has indeed stood still. So it is most likely that it will happen...
....then again, the knowledge will not make any difference because you will not remember obtaining any of this information...
[And THAT is what bugs the Vulcan the most... the only give away is his hands imperceptibly tightening on the handlebars of the wheelchair.]
