002 - Take your protein pills and put your helmet on ; video

Who: Clay Terran and all of YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Vanquish, bridge
When: 6/29, afternoon

[When the video comes on, Clay's looking at it with a big, excited grin on his face that seems to only increase in wattage once he realizes it's on. He sits back on his heels then, arms wrapped around his knees, though they probably won't stay like that for long.]

I haven't been here very long, but I've still met so many people with such cool powers! [And, indeed, he begins to gesture and lean forward as he describes each power.] Super strength, fighting with magic cards, reality bending, and flight! I never even knew those kinds of things were possible outside of comic books and tv shows!

[He rocks back again, arms winding around his knees once more as he seems to calm just a bit.]

So tell me about your powers. What are they like? Is it natural to you, or do you... I don't know, have to call on something in order to make it happen? And for you people who don't have powers, like me, what kind do you wish you had? [And the thought of it just makes him move once more, arms out and gesturing.] If I could have powers, I'd have flight, the ability to breathe anywhere I wanted, and super durability. Or maybe - maybe adaptability? That way I could go into space any time I wanted without getting into a heavy suit!

[... Aaand calm again.] So, yeah. Powers? I really want to know. It's of astronomical importance.

Hm... I don't think I ever really thought about it before. Rather than some sort of power, I think I'd just like to be able to stand out a bit more?

Oh! Maybe being able to heal people with music!

Right? It would be nice to be able to do that kind of thing. And being to help people in a bit more of a concrete way would be great! It's always great to be able to see the results of your hard work, after all!

Honestly, it just kind of seems like an extension of what singing does normally? Like, a lot of songs can help people out during hard times, so if you wanted to turn it into a super power, it would have to be like that.

I don't really like the idea of singing being able to hurt people, so that seems like the best option overall, really.

Right, I heard something like that, too! Well, I mostly heard it's good for children, since it's really good for development. I think it's supposed to be good for people that have physical problems with their brain too, though? I wonder if it has something to do with having the senses stimulated?

[Hm. I should talk to some lab support people and see if they can figure out how it works...]

It's definitely something I'll talk to lab support people about when things aren't so busy. It would be nice if it could help, at least a little.
