To say that Spock was anticipating such a change would be inaccurate. This version of the Enterprise did not surprise him entirely. He had learned of different timelines from Spock Prime, or rather, Spock Prime's existence in a separate timeline altogether that altered the course of history. However he cannot determine if he has crossed over himself, or if this is the future. Functions on the ship are more than recognizable, but the starfleet uniforms are vastly different.

Chekov stands out because he's wearing something similar to what Spock remembers being issued and, well, his faces feels familiar but unfamiliar all the same. The half-human, half-vulcan approaches the man's table, arms folded behind his back in a mannerism that is more than recognizable for both Spocks.

"May I sit?" He inclines his head toward the empty chair. Perhaps he can engage in a little social behavior. "And may I ask your name? You appear to be the only other person I have encountered thus far that wears something similar to the uniform I have."
