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.

You've said many things too, but little proof beyond yourself. So you can say your sphere is no different than mine.

The difference is, I'm not trying to prove myself to others, I don't need to. It makes no difference to me if you believe it or not, because it doesn't change anything. I know what is true, I've seen the proof a hundred times over and more, and that's more than enough for my 'sphere'.

[ He considers this, before realizing it is a moot point. Foreknowledge was not worth the price of being alone. That much, he knew. And while he has reaped the benefits of it, he knows that the high ground pays little in return. ]

Then I hope your sphere of one pays off, Mystique.

It will. [No note of doubt in her voice at all in regards to this.]

Enjoy your slavery here Charles, just like the rest of us. [Yet Mystique didn't give him a chance to reply, finishing so she had the last word as her com went dead to his connection.]
