[div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 65%; font-family: timesnewroman; font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;"]Jim is still getting used to how bizarre this world was. He'd heard rumors of other used-to-be-humans -- lots and lots of them. (he still refused to admit that he was one) And he'd seen hybrids and strange creatures. .. It was a little much to adjust to, because these weren't aliens, these were basically just a bunch of fucking animals. What the hell. He'd honestly just ceased to do more than a double take at whatever sort of thing he came across within like .. two encounters.
This was also new. He was a distance away when what appeared to be a small meteorite came crashing down. Wasn't it such a coincidence that it happened right here in Tanglewood, huh? Jesus. Was this a 'Jim' thing? His friends jokes about the Kirk effect sometimes. Or was it a Tanglewood thing? A large group thing? .. Judging by the rumors from other places, probably a group thing. .. Even so, Jim needs to investigate, if only to check the damages. Make sure it didn't hit anything important.
.. He didn't expect what he came upon, of course. Paws streaked with mud, Jim stops dead at the scene, blinking once, then again. A .. cat. A very strange looking cat, but, honestly, what was new. (a lot of aliens were identical to humans, but with features that registered as jarring to them. Basically, creature-but-off was old news.) .. He looks around again. Was it hit by the meteorite? Or was it ... he almost dismisses the idea entirely. It was a little too bizarre. But ... this place. (wouldn't it have burned up in the atmosphere, though? The Enterprise, had, and it was ... sturdier, than something organic.) He eyes the feline suspiciously.
"Hey. You aren't hurt, are you?" Jim asks, slowly picking his way past the rubble and broken trees to, very gently, attempt to nudge the feline with a paw softly. Shit. Of course they were hurt. Why else would they be collapsed. "Actually, how badly are you hurt? Where?" Why not more? They seemed remarkably unharmed for somebody ... right here. He was no medic, though, but he might as well push for answers while he waits for the 'professionals' to arrive.
