Jack had been standing on the edge of the crowd, feeling a little nervous about their current situation. He had lost sight of all the crew, what with everybody scattering in different directions. It was like what happened when you kicked an anthill. They went EVERYWHERE.
He glanced around and noticed a woman making her way towards him. She was apparently looking for a husband. And it was not going to be him. No, he had other plans for himself and his future. He ransacked his head, trying to think of a reason he wasn't available, beyond the Starfleet regs. He could go with the girl-at-home-story. Seeing as nothing else cropped up in his head, he decided on that. She walked up to him and began her presentation.
"Sorry, but I'm, ah, unavailable. I have a girl back home."
She immediately sighed.
"And who is waiting on you?"
'Oh no, she's asking for names now,' he thought.
"You wouldn't know her. She rarely leaves the village."
"If you're taken, then why are you here?"
He thought for a split=second, then came up with a cover.
"I'm one of my village's healers. I'm here in case one of them gets themselves hurt during the.....festivities."
She nodded suspiciously.
"Of course."
She left and made her way back into the village, apparently unsatisfied with the Fleeters. Jack moved into the village too, looking for anyone else. For several minutes, he wandered around the village, looking for other Fleet officers. He spotted most of the other Away Team grouped together, with most of the Aescans having disappeared into the tents. He made his way over to them as Commander Osbourne disappeared into a hut. He glanced inside and noticed that Kane, Herb, and the Commander were grouped around a man, who appeared to be injured.
Jack promptly turned and went into the hut. Apparently, he was walking in on a conversation concerning how they were going to move the man, which meant that he must be Starfleet and a crewmember of the Copernicus. Apparently, both Kane and Herb agreed that they should stretcher the man out.
