voice testing this Russian Ensign

[ican_dozat]

An adventure? Is that what you think I want? I get enough adventure aboard the Enterprise. What is it with you writer people? Can't you just leave us alone to do our jobs? I am Ensign Pavel Chekov and my duty is to the Enterprise with Captain Kirk. No adventures, not now. No games.

[Please.]

I am still looking for my crew mates but still, I will find them here somewhere. [He hoped.]

Comments

[captainpike]

....correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you a little young to be an Ensign?

[ican_dozat]

I am seventeen, sir. I might be the youngest Ensign in the fleet but I am more than capable.

[captainpike]

Seventeen?? [His eyebrows up.] That's plenty young enough.

You're assigned to the Enterprise, Ensign Chekov?

[ican_dozat]

Aye, sir. I have been stationed on the Enterprise for around six months now. She is a beautiful ship.

[captainpike]

That she is. [Slightly wistful tone there.]

[bornsnarky]

[in the most dire voice]

He's seventeen.

[captainpike]

So he has mentioned, Doctor. He has also said he is more than capable, is this true?

[The Doctor of the ship would know, might as well ask.]

[bornsnarky]

[A long suffering sigh, not at you, just at the things that he has to endure.]

He is. But emotionally, sir...

[Emotionally, to be honest, Chekov's far ahead of many of the crewmembers of the Enterprise. But McCoy likes to keep an extra eye on him just in case. Adolescence is hard enough without facing life or death situations every day.]

[captainpike]

Ah...for that we all might be guilty.

[Pike has seen enough fighting and death to last him a lifetime.]

[quitefascinating]

Hello, Captain. It has been some time.

[captainpike]

Commander Spock.

[Kudos on the promotion.]

You're looking well.

[smartass_captain]

Pavel? Please tell me that's you, buddy.

[ican_dozat]

Captain. It is me yes.

[smartass_captain]

Glad to see a familiar face around here. You have no idea. Everything alright?

Your Mun over there's not giving you trouble are they?

[ican_dozat]

No, I don't think so. Nothing out of the ordinary anyway.

[smartass_captain]

I don't know how you managed to get off the ship, but...

[Jim pauses. Splits into a wide smile]

I'm really glad to see someone as reliable as you around. Here I thought I was the only one.

[bornsnarky]

...that is one helluva username, Captain.

[smartass_captain]

Well i wasn't going to use 'outofhiscornfedmind' Bones.

[Pause.]

You're a sight for sore eyes, you know that?

[bornsnarky]

Aw. Why not?



[Softening in spite of himself.]

Good to see you, too, Jim. You doing okay?

[bornsnarky]

Be careful, Pavel.

[ican_dozat]

[He nodded to the doctor.]

I will try, doctor. Finding danger is something I want to avoid if possible.

[bornsnarky]

[...so earnest and cute. It'd be annoying if you weren't so, well, earnest and cute.]



[dry] Then you're already much more sensible than certain captains of the Enterprise.

[quitefascinating]

I am quite certain you will find them all, Ensign.

[He's peering at you with the banked fires of curiosity. He is aware of the other universe, and it is always quite diverting to meet someone's counterpart.]

[ican_dozat]

Mr. Spock? [You look older, dude. Forgive him for doing a double take.]

[quitefascinating]

[And you, younger.]


Indeed. And yet not quite the Spock of whom you are aware.
