[Jim knows something's gone wrong the moment the whizzing incandescent sparks of the transporter beam fade from his vision.
Since when does a farming community have an ornate library?
He turns to his right to demand a report from Spock... but Spock's not there. To his left, to find McCoy's not there either.
He reaches for his communicator but its heft is unfamiliar in his hand. It's not his. But it's obviously a communication device of some sort. He fiddles with it, manages to turn on the voice broadcasting.]
Kirk to Enterprise, come in. Enterprise, are you receiving me?
[A pause as he waits for an answer and gets none. He tries a different tack.]
Cassiopeia 3 Colony, this is Captain Kirk, do you copy?
[That clearly doesn't get him what he wants, either. There's a faint sigh, the sort that comes when someone's preparing themselves to speak, and then the video comes on. Jim is perfectly in frame, looking directly into the device, shoulders straight, and he speaks with confidence and authority that almost don't seem to fit with his obvious youth. Clearly he's done this before.]
This is Captain James T. Kirk of the Federation Starship Enterprise. I respectfully request an audience, whether via this communication device or in person, with a member of the governing body, ruler, or other authority of this location, or their designated representative.
This place was not my intended destination. If I've arrived here in error, I will need some information to help me figure out how to correct it. If I was purposefully brought here, please accept my gratitude for arriving unharmed, but I obviously have questions about the conditions surrounding my transport and I would like to negotiate the terms of my return.
[He pauses again, and his expression softens. This is clearly less Official Command Officer Business, and more a casual, polite request.]
...I appear to be in a library. If someone could tell me how to get out, and where to find the people I need to talk to, I'd greatly appreciate it.

But I'll be around. It's almost like being on permanent summer vacation here.

Summer vacation. I miss those.

It's almost summer now, isn't it? Go take a vacation! I'm sure you deserve it.
