[Nothing quite makes the time difference hit so hard as that remark -- unfamiliar with the Cali class ships? Of course...it makes sense. And reminds Tendi that she really has to stay on her toes with stuff like this.
The smile she gives as she nods in response is, um. just a tiny bit forced.] Oh-- of course. That makes sense. That would be why you're unfamiliar.
[Nailed it. Absolutely.
She's content to follow Jim for now, getting a look at the city around them while she does. It's...well, it doesn't at all look like the Earth areas she had been to, but she never actually left San Francisco during her time at the Academy anyway. Her attention is split three ways in that regard: watching the city, watching Bones frolic (it still seems so weird to her that they don't talk!), and listening to Jim's briefing of the situation.]
That's what I was afraid of. [A little sigh.] I tried contacting the Cerritos, but I couldn't get a signal through. [Even now, her comm badge doesn't seem to pick up anything when she taps it.] But-- this planet doesn't seem warp-capable at all so far, and no one else seems to recognize the Starfleet uniform, so... I don't get it. Why are we here?
