Character introduction

Why, hello~

My name is T'Sami Benson, Lieutenant JG, so everyone ends up calling me Miss Benson or Sami.

I am currently stationed on board the gorgeous USS Enterprise, NCC-1701.

I'm somewhat between positions on the ship at the moment, but I tend to rotate between assisting Doctor McCoy in sickbay when he requires my presence and covering the science array on the bridge when duty calls Mr Spock away.

In my free time I like to listen to music from the 1900s and the first part of the 21st century. It helps greatly that my father is something of a self-proclaimed archivist of media from that time period.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out!

And as always, LLAP! 🖖🏻

A few more things to add

I have yet to decide if I want to fully commit to being a medical practitioner, or fully becoming a Science officer (I’ve been thinking about going into the realm of Astro-cartography)

I really enjoy playing tennis, and for reasons unknown to even myself I agreed to be Lieutenant Sulu’s fencing partner, yes I get my tush handed to me every time, but we’re on fairly equal footing when it comes to tennis, so it works out in the end.

I will make an earnest attempt to tag all my correspondences with “-LJG T. Benson” but some things may slip through as i am new to communicating with my fellow crewmembers!

LLAP 🖖🏻

This visualization starts with a wide view of the Carina constellation and zooms in to the Hubble Space Telescope’s view of the massive star AG Carinae.

AG Carinae undergoes periodic eruptions, which have ejected a small nebula of gas and dust around it.

Red is emission from ionized gas, and bluish-white is dust reflecting the light of the star.

Lt Benson,

I am the counterpart of your First Officer Mr Spock or, as some people have come to know me, 'mirror' Spock. I am writing to you with explicit permission from your Captain, who directed me to you, speaking highly of your knowledge in this particular area.

While investigating the reasons behind the divergence in our universes, I have pinpointed one potential point of divergence in the death or survival of a Terran woman in the 1930s. I have attached a list of music from my universe dated from around that era. If you have the time, I would appreciate it if you could correlate these records with the ones from your universe, and inform me of any differences you find.

My hypothesis is that the music released before that time will correlate one-to-one, while there will be minor or major differences in the rest.

Expecting your reply,

@realmirrorspock

Mr mirror Spock,

I must admit that I am not fully surprised at your writing to me, for I have been hearing stories of your messages being put through to our universe and the chaos they have been creating among the ensigns a few times already.

Since you asked me oh so nicely, I have already looked over the information attached, and found some discrepancies, just as you had theorized.

Please see the attached finalized report, and I say with confidence that it will contain the information you require.

Best regards, Lt Benson - USS Enterprise

I have excellent news.

I have finally been promoted to full Lieutenant.

The promotion came with the title of Assistant first science officer, which I am very pleased about. And I am fairly certain that would mean me spending more time on the bridge rather than being stuck down in the labs or running reports back and forth between decks.

Although, I suppose that means that now i have to find another way to get my required daily steps... Perhaps I could begin a search for a walking belt of some kind for free time walking, and I believe one of the ensigns have picked something of that sort at one of the last Starbases we were docked at recently.

I had thought the move from the basic crew's quarters to officer's quarters would be a welcome change of pace, some quiet away from the ensigns...... But now as I get my thoughts out in my solo quarters, I find myself, reaching.... waiting, listening for my compatriots walking by...... my friends.....
