{Earth 2025 }

:With nothing to do Mira was getting antsy. So the plan was to get out and give the city a once over. Maybe she could gather information but as she walked a few blocks of the city's streets it became clear that she hadn't taken into account how large New York might be in this time. So she came up with a new plan. Check out to see how big the city was. She could do that by getting higher.

Walking over to the side of a building she ran her hand over it. The stone had groves in it. She could climb up. Since she wasn't dressed for the climb it might increase the difficulty but she loved a challenge. She had only gone a few feet up then she heard children laughing. :

"Hey lady want's ya doing?" Asked a little girl.

"Just trying to get to the top." Was Mira's answer.

"Why don't you use the fire escape. "

That brought Mira up short. Fire escape? What was that? The building wasn't on fire and she wasn't trying to escape a fire. Maybe she needed more information. Coming back down she raised an eyebrow at the little girl hoping she would continue.

"Its over here." One of the other kids said then added " did you know you have ants on your face" he nodded to her.

Her hand went to her face for a moment then a smile broke out. " not ants it's a...... tattoo " that's want people had been calling them so she just went with it. Much easier then 'no I am from another planet.' You didn't say things like that with first contact.

The stairs now in front of her she climbed quickly up them. At the top her mouth dropped open and she let out a string of curses in a few different languages. This wasn't good. "Its so large" mira whispered. Shaking her head Mira rubbed the back of her neck. No walking around wouldn't do anything at all except maybe get her lost.

She had food and shelter right now better to stay put. Turning to go back down a fight in the street caught her eye. 2 men had grabbed another one dragging him to a van. The beanie on the man's head slipped and she could have sworn he had Vulcan ears but.......... was there a Vulcan on the ship? And why would he be kidnapping someone? It didn't make sense. Before she could do anything the van was gone.

"Maybe not Vulcan ..." she said to herself but Romulan . Then again why would Romulans be here on earth in 2025. Were they trying to make it so the federation never became? Well that was a scary thought. Looking around at all the people who needed help. The federation had changed all of that. You couldn't do anything without money. She had found that out quickly.

Running her hand over her face in frustration she decided to go back to the park. Maybe there was a clue. Maybe there was more crewman here. After all how could she be the only one. "Assuming any of this is real."
