Um. Hi! Sorry to send this to everyone... Well, I had a question I wanted to pose to everyone but then another thing came up and...

Does anyone know how to reattach a door to a washing machine? I had a little mishap... and I still have a lot of laundry to get done. Anyway, it'd be awful if I didn't at least ask how to put it back the way it was.

The second thing is completely unrelated. Does anyone else feel really weird about wanting friends or family to show up? I don't think I'd wish this experience on anyone against their will, but as long as we're going to be here... it'd be nice to have familiar faces, don't you think? How do you deal with the conflict?

And is there any way to request they bring crullers with them?

Have you tried a screwdriver?

I know I'm blonde, Kate, but I'm not that blonde. I tried some things but I think I made it worse.

Hey. All bases must be covered. [ she smiles. ] Does your ship have anyone with the engineering augment?

[passingthrough]

I've never tried to put a door back on a washing machine, but I probably could. Seems like something Winn or Kirk could handle too. [Since they are there and all.]

Sorry, I can't really help with the - washing thing. Most of the technology here just gives me a headache.

But, uh, as far as wanting friends here, yes? I mean, I suppose I feel a little guilty about it, but it's not like my wanting them here is going to bring them.

[takingkarabusiness]

...

Kirk. And Winn, actually.

So I probably could've just asked them than embarrass myself in front of the entire fleet.

[ she's a little blonde okay ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ ...she maybe didn't think about that ]

...You're right. That's definitely within their wheelhouses, probably.

It might take some welding.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, weirder things have happened.

[ladybro]

It's not that embarrassing.

[theirinurpants]

I'll say. But I mean, it's not terrible here, just strange. There are worse places we could end up.

[takingkarabusiness]

I suppose it could be worse. I could've not had any clean clothes to wear before I made this broadcast.

[passingthrough]

This is awkward. I left my blowtorch in my other pants.

[ladybro]

Or the feed could have turned on just as you were doing...whatever you did that managed to break the thing. That would've sucked.

[takingkarabusiness]

I guess, yeah. I just miss everyone.

I'm Kara, by the way.

[takingkarabusiness]

...Yes. It would have.

And that would be forgetting how strong I am and slamming the door.

[takingkarabusiness]

Damn. Here I thought you were going to be useful.

I tried to make it work but I'm not exactly... recharged all the way?

[ladybro]

How strong are you?

[takingkarabusiness]

Weirdly? Not even a fraction as strong as I usually am.

[theirinurpants]

Oh! Right, I'm Alistair. Nice to meet you, even in the circumstances, I guess.

Have you been to the, uh, moon yet?

[ladybro]

So you're...

[ WAIT A SECOND. kate frowns. ] But you said -- huh. Right. Okay, fool me once and congrats to you.

[ SUPERGIRL!!! ]

For the interim, there's always the kitchen sink. Right?

[passingthrough]

Kara Danvers, did you have a wild night? [She's usually better at subtly than this. Then again, she's less used to the part where identities are actually secret.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ SHE THOUGHT SHE'D BEEN CLEAR but this is actually how she gets away with it at home. sometimes. ]

Oh, I thought—

Um. Yeah! But the sink is small. And a lot more work.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ ha. ha ha. Kara hasn't really decided how subtle she's going to be, so it's just. kind of a disaster of secret keeping ]

You know me. Shots of tequila all night.

[takingkarabusiness]

I have... kind of a mess, isn't it?

[ladybro]

[ silly kate, taking someone at their word-- ]

So let's hope your friend is handy with tools.
