Just a few more adjustments to the transporters and I believe they'll be fully functional in regards to transdimensional beaming. I apologize if I've seemed a bit absent as of late - between catching up on the paperwork left over from the virus and working on this project I've been a bit busy. If I've missed anything, would anyone care to fill me in?

[....that is not a very human-shaped thing materializing on the landing pad.

In fact it's rather shark-shaped.

Shit.

Best send that back.]

[andthehat]

[ JDIHGF why did a shark beam on the boat!? ] AHHH. [ PUNCHES IT. ]

[reversedpolarity]

[RIGHT. TRYING THAT AGAIN.

This time he manages to lock on to Jack. Sorry about the delay, Captain.]

[andthehat]

[ gives him a strange look after looking around. He's going to stay sitting for now. ]

Well that was fun. We won't be doing that again. Not with sharks, savvy?

[reversedpolarity]

Aye, not with sharks.

[He's still at the console, getting ready to send Jack back to his proper time and world.]

Where did you want me tae drop you off, then?

[andthehat]

[ Gets up, dusts himself off--- er twists water out of his coat and on the floor -- then holds his fingers up ] Wait. I've got my five minutes! Which room is this?

[ do de do he's going to wander off the platform and peek at the console ]

[reversedpolarity]

This's the transporter room -- look, thing is, Captain, I've sort o' brought you on without clearin' it with Jim, right, because I thought what's the harm in it, it'll just be for a minute or two an' then you'll be back where you ought tae be, an'...

[Yeah, he's a bit distracted by the fact that Jack really is an actual pirate.[

[andthehat]

[ Staring at the screen curiously then raises his brows at him ] What?

Ehem. We'll just find Jim and tell him. Which way to the Captain's cabin?

[ Jack's just going to wander off now. No, really. He is wandering out of the room after taking a moment to examine the doors. ] Oh. Hallways~! How big is this exactly?

[reversedpolarity]

[And Scotty's just going to dart after him, snagging his sleeve.]

You can't just go wanderin' off, Captain. Look, I can call Jim an' have him come up tae meet us here, aye? But you've got tae stay in the transporter room, because let's face it, you don't exactly fit in. Sir.

[andthehat]

No? Give me one of those shirts then.

[reversedpolarity]

Right. Come back with me tae the transporter room, an' I'll get you a change o' clothes, alright?

[andthehat]

A change of clothes? I only want the shirt. [ Rubs nose then shrugs and wanders back into the transporter room ]

[reversedpolarity]

With all due respect, Captain, if you won't accept a complete change o' clothes, I'm afraid I'm goin' tae have tae send you back, sir.

[andthehat]

[ pouting here. does he have to? ] The hat stays on. What colors to those shirts come in?

[reversedpolarity]

[Yes, he has to, and Scotty is not swayed by pouting.]

I can get you red, gold, or blue, Captain. I'm afraid I can't get you anything with captain's stripes, but it won't be for long, so. Let's get you set, then. Which color did you want?

[andthehat]

Oooh. Gold. What's it made out of?

[reversedpolarity]

Er. Fabric? Look, just. Wait here a minute, aye?

[And he'll just nip off to get a uniform, and by God he is running, because he doesn't want Jack to just start wandering off again.]

[andthehat]

[ He's not wandering off. But he is going to touch everything in the room at least once. ]

[reversedpolarity]

[As long as he doesn't break anything. And Scotty returns to the transporter room, out of breath, uniform in hand.]

Here. I'll. Wait outside for you, aye?

[andthehat]

[ What does this button doooo~? Going for it- going for it -Oh Scotty's back. Abort the button pushing mission. Hands go behind his back. ]

Aye.

[reversedpolarity]

[Right. AND DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING WHILE HE'S WAITING.]

[andthehat]

[ Okay okay. Shirt goes on. Pants go on. And all of Jack's stuff goes back on over it. Haha ]

[reversedpolarity]

[And when he thinks he's given Jack enough time, he pokes his head back in, and--]

...where's the uniform I gave you?

[andthehat]

On see? [ points at the shirt-- under his shirt. And the coat. ] Very comfortable.

[reversedpolarity]

Captain, sir. With all due respect, sir, you'll have tae leave the coat. An' your shirt. You can keep the hat, but you've got tae at least try blendin' in, just a little, aye?
