[ The reaction, unfortunately, is not a surprise. Orions were few and far between within Federation space, most of them refugees, to Jim's knowledge, and respect for their culture even slimmer. Gaila had never needed his help knocking guys in bars on their ass, though he was happy to offer it; it was just a shame she had to in the first place. ]
Tendi it is. [ He smiles, the light reaching his eyes, hoping to put her at ease, insofar as he's able. Yes, she'd likely find she was one of the more alien-presenting species around here; Spock at least could pass, if he was wearing a hat and someone hadn't yet caught the severe line of his eyebrows. Still, they hadn't bothered to hide his alien status here - there were all manner of peoples and creatures from other worlds, it seemed. Brought here, by whom and for why? Well, that was the ten million credit question, wasn't it?
Bones just pants, lolling his tongue out, looking very pleased with himself.
Jim starts them walking along the sidewalk, down towards the beach area. The roads are beginning to fill with shops, vendors putting out their displays for the festivities. ] The Cerritos...I'm unfamiliar. I was in deep space prior to this, guess I missed your launch date.
[ He's not 100% sure he did, because he's also unfamiliar with the California class...and he's pretty sure the commission of a new class of ships would have been in one of his deep-space command transmissions, right? Perhaps Spock will know...
The Science division's enthusiasm for the utterly mundane never fails to amuse, and Jim grins, mostly to himself. ] I think I know someone who would probably be delighted by your findings.
However, [ Jim cuts her a sideways glance, wondering how she'll take the revelation, unaware Tendi is already more apprised of her situation than he is. ] I do have some...unfortunate news. We've been marooned here. It's a place called Aldrip.
