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.

[ The similarities to the Echoes and Portraits was startling at times. ]

Yes, that always seems to be the pattern.

It's frustrating. But it allows them to keep control of us, too- it stops us from being able to look for any weaknesses or any ways to fight back.

Well . . . I'll keep my eyes open for any weaknesses anyway.

I agree- and it never hurts to have as many pairs of eyes looking as we can.

I don't suppose we keep any records?

I know some of the contestants do, yes- I think some of them do pen and paper, since Atroma can probably tamper with our devices if they so choose. I'm not sure what Atroma themselves might have on us, though.

I'll ask around then. It never hurts to know our history.

Not at all. I'm not sure how much one might find that may be useful, but as they say, knowledge is power.

I can't disagree with that.
