Who: two nerds and you
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: now!

[ The audio comes on sharply, but everything is still dark as two people discuss their situation.]

Is that the camera? Can you get it to work?

I - think so? Here, push this --

I am pushing it, Hank. I thought you knew about these from that show you keep watching. Space Trek?

It's Star Trek and that isn't exactly - you know, the same thing as this.

Right. . . . Wait, I think I see something on the side.

[ And the video flickers on, the red light glowing softly. It focuses on two men. One in a wheelchair and the other right next to him, peering curiously at the camera before they step back satisfied. ]

Well, that’s over and done with. Hello to anyone who might be out there. My name is Charles Xavier and this is Hank McCoy. Apparently we’ve been kidnapped again, by an unknown force again for some mysterious reason.

[muttered:] Again. [and louder] So if anyone would be kind enough to explain exactly what's going on, we'd appreciate it. You have our thanks in advance.

But do keep it pertinent.

It was a spur of the moment decision, really. Helped along by the fact that Nightingale was one of the first to contact me.

Mm, that would help. [at least it isn't "Magneto", gross] I've spoken to her - ah, and Lace as well. Just how many are there from Kyriakos?

[He hasn't gone by Magneto since before Kyriakos. It's going to take special circumstances to bring that name back to life.]

The only other one is Opal, from Henwen. There are... a couple of others, who were there, but either they don't remember it or they're different versions. [Willow.]

[let's keep it dead and gone]

Ah, I'm . . . vaguely familiar with her. [he tilts his head, frowning] Different versions . . .

Right, okay. I'll - brace for that.

It may not be anyone you know. One of my teammates, Willow, is here. But she doesn't know about any of it.

At all? Mm . . . well, I guess it's a good thing I didn't know that many people.

[Except when it comes to mutants from other dimensions, right?]

For the most part, I don't know anyone here from before. But we're not the only ones to be on our second or third kidnapping to another universe.

[does that count, he technically doesn't know them]

I . . . can't say I'm all that surprised, considering you and Charles have gone through this twice already.

We're probably more interesting to the audience.

Oh, I'm sure. I have some choice words for them.

Save it for when we have a face to say them to.

I suppose that would be more satisfying.
