A little big seems a bit to much. Especially when they have access to hypos.

_{[ There might have been a shudder there, Kara. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

Are you scared of needles?

[universal_charm]

No - only the ones McCoy has his hands on.

[takingkarabusiness]

I see how it is.

It sounds like you have a great crew there.

Would you go for captain here if it was up for grabs?

[universal_charm]

_{[ There is a pause as he considers it - but it's not a very long one. ]}

Yes, probably. It's what I'm good at it, what I've trained for.

Why? You trying to stage a mutiny?

[takingkarabusiness]

Me? No way. I'm not really the betraying type.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He drops his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. ]}

Do we attack at dawn?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ whispers back ]

When's dawn?

[universal_charm]

_{[ Still in the whisper. ]}

That's the beauty of space - whenever we want.

[takingkarabusiness]

Doesn't that defeat the point of coordinating a time?

[universal_charm]

Well no, we pick a time, we just happen to declare said time dawn.

[takingkarabusiness]

Right. Yes, of course. Duh.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He chuckled. ]}

That is the beauty of space-time.

[takingkarabusiness]

Me and space-time have a checkered past.

[universal_charm]

Care to share, or a story for another time?

[takingkarabusiness]

Did I tell you about the Phantom Zone?

[universal_charm]

No, no you have not. I think I would remember being told about something like that.

[takingkarabusiness]

Well, when I was sent to Earth, my pod got stuck in the Phantom Zone for about 20 years. I stayed in stasis, as a 13-year-old, in the Zone, while time everywhere else advanced. My baby cousin didn't get stuck and didn't end up being my baby cousin when I finally got to Earth.

[universal_charm]

Wow, that's definitely headache inducing. On the other hand, you look great for being thirty-three.

_{[ Bright sides! He'll find them. ]}

[takingkarabusiness]

More like 45.

Practically ancient.

[universal_charm]

You're every cosmetic company's worst nightmare.

[takingkarabusiness]

Dermatologists hate me!

Though that may have more to do with my invulnerability than anything else.

[universal_charm]

Heh, maybe.

Speaking of - how are you doing? I know you said you got part of your powers back here, but not all.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'm doing okay. More adjusted to my strength here now, and knock on wood, I haven't gotten a cold. I'd like to move on, though.

[universal_charm]

From the planet, you mean?
