[ The video starts without words, or introductions. What people can see of it, Jim is in a dark room, cold and almost cavernous, no windows to let any light in. Paint is peeling off the walls, and furniture is scant, what little of it is there falling apart and thrown across the dark, blood-stained floor. There are chains, needles and ropes surrounding a table in the middle of the room, but none of it is quite as scary as the figure lying down across the tabletop, seeming like a human strapped to the table. It's eerily still now, but from the wild look in Finn's eyes, standing some good feet away from the table, that probably wasn't always the case. ]
We can't get it out of here, are you insane?! We can't—
[ Finn's voice is quiet but panicked, and silenced by Spock's swift and quiet interruption. ]
We will need to be swift and careful if we do not wish to be seen. It will not be long before someone comes back—
[ And there is Finn's voice, panicking yet again. ] Are you crazy?! No, I— no!
Captain, [ Spock interrupts again. ] I suggest that we do this now, if we do not wish to be discovered.
[ Jim huffs from behind the camera, taking a deep breath. ]
Alright. Let's get to it.
[ Finn's eyes widen impossibly, seen even in the dark of the room, but before he gets to say anything, the feed cuts.
Along with the video shared, there is also a text post. ]
This is a room in the Remembrance headquarters. It's kept locked at all times, with strange noises coming from it on occasion, and we decided to investigate. We had the key all along to open it, thanks to the work of another group among our own.
This what it looked like on the inside. We didn't have a lot of time to explore, but there was definitely something wrong in there. Blood, signs of torture, a broken dollhouse. An overall sense of stillness and dread.
The mannequin on the table was moving, before I shot that video. It tried to grab our throats as we picked it up. We brought it with us anyway, but we have it locked up in a room right now. It's not moving for the time being. We're not sure how to proceed from here on out, so I'll take any suggestions.
I also got my hands on a music box. The song from it was warped, and the room itself reacted strangely to it. Finn could sense something strange from it. If anyone here is sensitive to supernatural things, I could show you. It might prove useful.
We didn't have a lot of time to explore the room otherwise. A few minutes in there at best, but we didn't want to get caught, and we really wanted to get those things out of there. So we kind of had to rush. If anyone else is able to get in there and have a better look, explore more of it, I think we might be onto something.
Study the walls. there was something wrong with them.

And my ship is the TARDIS. Time and Relative Dimension in Space. Get it? She's a beauty, my old girl.
[ He may or may not also refer to his ship as Sexy, but only when they're alone. This will be neither confirmed nor denied... ]
Oh, Enterprise! You know Number One, then? We had a riveting conversation recently. She spoke very highly of her crew, it's little wonder.
no subject
[ Don't worry buddy, Jim would totally understand if he knew you called her Sexy. Not that Jim would address his ship the same way... probably. That's more Scotty's thing, anyway. ]
I've only met her here, actually. Different realities, all that. But we do come from similar universes.
no subject
Oh! Right, yes. I'm familiar with those, too. The universe is big, vast, beautiful, and anything can happen. As we've seen.
Your name - not Major Tom, obviously. Clever designation, though. What do I call you? Or do you prefer Captain? I'm the Doctor.
no subject
No, I'm just a huge Bowie fan. James T. Kirk. The Captain does have a nice ring to it, I'll admit, but you can just call me Jim.
no subject
[ He may or may not have helped inspire The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars... ]
Excellent. Very good to meet you, Jim! Well, as much as you can meet over these devices. I look forward to meeting you "officially" in person, I'm sure our paths will cross soon. And every now and then, when you least expect it, I'll refer to you as The Captain.
no subject
[ Never mind your cool space (and time) ship, David Bowie in the flesh?? That's totally cooler. ]
Not gonna complain if you do. Hey, with some luck it'll catch on, who knows. I look forward to meeting you too.
