[ The video feed clicks on as Ororo wakes, with the sound of her cape's wrist bangles clattering against whatever assorted metal fixtures there are on the bed as she gets to her feet. It's quiet aside from the background noise of the Hospitality Deck, with Ororo silently assessing the situation she'd found herself in. Was it a kidnapping? She could see the void of stars and space through the large window - had she been pulled into another intergalactic issue? Ororo frowned, the sparks of lightning crawling along her skin making the video feed flicker with static. ]

[ Assuming that there were other X-Men with her here somewhere (nine times out of ten they were pulled into these things together), she decided to go looking for them and regroup... or at least find someone on the Deck to question. She takes the communicator with her just because it looked useful, but neglects to switch it off or anything - so between brief moments of static from her lightning, it happens to pick up her movement and voice as she mutters to herself: ]

By the Goddess, I do not have time for this. I have a school to run!

[Such foreshadowing!]

You shouldn't have to be there long. [There's a flicker of a smile.]

You don't really get to decide where you go from there, but once they've chosen you can always transfer or visit other ships and places like the station. [It's the dry sort of information about this place she could be telling any stranger. She's not sure what she should be saying. "I missed you?" It's not really in her, but she did. Not that she ever met her before now either.]

[There's a bit of movement as Ororo goes over to the closest window to look outside.]

I've seen the other ships in the fleet, but what's this about a station? [If anything, fact-collecting is an easy enough, and useful, topic of conversation.]

We're by one now. I guess that happens sometimes. We'll get to a planet or station and we can go out and mingle. Take jobs. Relax. Whatever. They...we've been at this station the whole time I've been around.

... That sounds surprisingly harmless. [She's still suspicious, but... For a situation that initially sounded a lot like Mojoverse, that seemed a bit laid-back.]

And I suppose that is how we provide the entertainment? [...She can't say that sentence without it sounding like she had something distasteful in her mouth.]

Did you kind of want the station to be alive and sucking our life force or something? [Kitty shrugs.] I don't know what the audience finds entertaining but if it's me running packages to make some money for food and such then they need better hobbies.

It's not something I want, but perhaps a better word would be... expect? [Ororo smiles dryly, shaking her head.] Thank the Bright Lady for small favors, I suppose.

From everything I've heard it's not that dangerous or eventful here. There was one...maybe two attacks on the fleet by other ships.
