Who: Indiana Jones and cool people
Broadcast: Fleet-wide, from inside the Marsiva.
Action: Any other newcomers on the big'un
When: Now.

[Thanks to his prior conversation with one Peggy Carter, Indiana has at least a slight grasp on the situation. Now that he does, there's nothing for it but to make contact with his fellow 'passengers'. After all, there might be some slim chance he'll encounter someone he knows. Failing that, answers will do just as well.]

I've seen a lot of spooky and strange things in my time, but a fleet drifting through space is a first. [Though he's reminded of that 'job' in Roswell only a few months ago. Hardly a pleasant memory.] My name is Indiana Jones, I'm a Professor of Archaeology -- not that there's much call for it up here. I'll take any volunteers eager to fill me in on the situation.

[He stares at the communicator a bit longer, scratches at his stubbled chin, and decides to ask the inevitable.]

Just tell me it's not the Soviets. [Because dammit, he's retired from the spy business.]

If it were the Soviets, they would just kill you. Not waste their time with this.

Then you assume that you are of use. What is archaeology a cover for, exactly?

[ A professor? This fleet has had more luck than she herself is used to on ships - Plenty of inventors and engineers, in truth, but few academics riding the winds into likely laser-fuelled annihilation.

Kidnapping is becoming more educational than ever she dreamed. Marhi stands on the video 5'2, blue skinned and cat-eared. ]


I am a Scholar, myself. But I do not know of these 'Soviets'.

[Now this she can't resist. Have a fairly amused-looking redhead on screen.]

Pretty sure if this were a Soviet spacecraft, you'd be seeing a little more red in the decor. Americans were always much more fond of the whole "clinical white" approach in interior design.

For an archaeology professor, you're handling the whole "in space" thing pretty well. Someone already fill you in on that part?

Guess that's fair, though if they can plant a data chip in your brain, I'm sure it's not that much of a stretch to make us only think we're seeing space. But that's the kind of thinking that leads to psychotic breaks, so you can imagine how popular it's not.

Either way, you get used to it after a while. Mostly.

A lot of us have had experience with ending up in other bizarre worlds before, so you've got a lot of people here who can help you adjust.

Archaeology is going to be a tough profession to use in space, though.

[Miah answers the video in her full plate armor, ears twitching and tail swishing as she speaks. He asked for an explanation, so an explanation he will get.]

I know not what a Soviet is, but the situation is quite complex. We have been kidnapped by a force called the 'Atroma' capable of reaching across worlds. The purpose we have been given here is entertainment- There are countless hosts watching us, it seems, for something called "reality television". We are to go about our lives on these ships in ways that entertain those watching us, if you desire to fulfill the purpose you have been brought here for.

Should you bear weapons, you will find that you have been disarmed, and aught you had to remedy this has been similarly taken. The Atroma have seen fit to provide us with weapons, but I like and trust them not.

However, we are provided for. There is... I hesitate to call it "food", but some manner of edibles dispensed in the kitchen that we may partake of, and we have yet to be forced into combat during my presence here. Money is provided, though it seems rather useless. We are kept as caged animals for the pleasure of those watching.

[Wanda cocks an eyebrow in bemusement at the mention of the "Soviets." That does give her some ideas as to where and when this newcomer was likely from.]

The "Soviets" have not been around for over twenty years now. So no, they are not behind this.

[She realizes that talking about history and time here was completely relative. Still, Wanda wanted to see how this professor of archaeology would respond to this news, especially coming from someone with a distinct Eastern European accent.]

Hi Indiana Jones! You have a really cool name. My name's Wrath.

It's basically a bullshit corporate psych experiment, I think? So does archaeology mean you dig stuff up? I used to be a soldier, but I got turfed by medical so now I just. Um. Paint stuff.

[Cory takes about half an hour to make high-pitched noises to himself before he actually addresses the broadcast, trying to look relatively composed.]

Yo. [Why did I say yo? I never say yo. Darn, I'm ruining this already!]

My name is Cory Matthews, I'm a teacher of history. It's a pleasure to meet you, um, Mr. Jones.

[INDYYYYYY]

I'm afraid that you're a little out of your time right now, as others seem to be saying. Like... me, I'm from the year 2015. I'm glad to tell you that the Soviets are now nothing more than just a chapter of history. No, whoever's behind this... Well, I guess they're aliens. That might be harder to believe, I know! [It all depends on whether or not he's met Shia Lebouf yet.] But to be fair, we are in outer space right now.

[Rogue attempts to remember what she told Cory and not fangirl.

Where was Kurt when you needed him??? There was no one on this ship she could squee with. Did Clay even have Indiana Jones movies on his earth? Would he have watched them in his time? Tony would be hopeless because he basically ignored all films until she'd made him sit down and watched them.

Hell, for a long while, Rogue doesn't even respond to this. She can't bring herself to do it, there was nothing that particularly pinged her and everyone else was doing a fine job explaining, but holy crap, that was Indiana Jones and she had to at least say something.]


Don't worry. We stop on planets from time ta time. Might be some call for archaeology there.

[At least that pure Mississippi drawl came out as casual as could be. Go Rogue, you're awesome.]
